I won't be able to go for a ride — but I can shoot up instead!

It only stands to common sense!

Common sense? Is that like common knowledge? Common sense would seem to be dictated by the view of the majority. The view of the majority would also suggest that paying for sex should be shunned and shamed.

BTW I agreed with your point on the need to disassociate Paid for Sex and talk of drugs and now you are bringing the 2 up together!
I would be confident that a race of people who embraced the notion of same sex marriage so warmly in a referendum would also accept the rights of consenting adults to engage with each other in private! Provided of course there was a fair and open debate, which of course there won't be!
A person brought up in a deprived area where drug addiction is quite common will be far more likely to bcome a drug addict than somebody brought up in an area where drug abuse is non existent! Alas it is becoming increasingly common everywhere! I support decriminalizing soft drugs!

Look, my point here, before this spirals somewhere I'd rather not be, is that it's a very bad idea to play these two divisive issues off each other, especially if you can't refrain from showing your disdain for one of the issues.

I agree with everything you've said there.

A user will be able to inject and charge their iPad in luxury-but outside for a cigarette.

Secondhand smoke is every bit as dangerous as firsthand. Also, you can't inject an iPad ...

Possession of heroin, cocaine and cannabis could be decriminalised as early as next year here in Ireland! The proposed changes to the law were announced by the Minister of National Drugs Strategy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin in a speech in London. >>>> Clicky Clicky <<<<

Meanwhile Frances Fitzgerald wants to turn me into a criminal for going to see an escort

Is it just me or is there something really fooked up about all this?

Completely agree with you, I thought the same thing myself.

They should legalise indoor prostitution and get us all in off the streets !

[Petros]

I think the idea behind their thinking is it will stop the criminals dealing ? and the cowboys in the dail can all be on legal highs

Hardly if they can bring their own gear in to shoot up with!
