Yeah, could've been dehydration from amphetamines or an overdose, but it could've just as well been a multitude of medical issues completely unlrelated to any potantial drug use.

Why does it paint Thailand in a bad light? Unfortunately stuff like this goes down every day in pretty much every country in the world. So it's not any given nation's problem, it's a mankind problem and therefore to judge an entire country based on the actions of a few of its citizens is just stupid! Most Thais will be just as much aghast about it as people elsewhere in the world when they hear about it!

As long as there's massive amounts of money to be made and as long as there is a demand for drugs there will always be people willing to take the risk and sell drugs regardless of potential punishment. By the way, the death penalty in Singapore can be circumvented by staying below a certain amount of any given drug. I think it's 15 grams for heroin. The woman in question was caught with twice as much, so she clearly didn't care about the death penalty. Either way, I'm not saying it won't deter some people, but it's not the major anti-drug weapon many people think it is! Not even close!

Well, technically speaking they only decriminalized personal possession of small amounts. They will still prosecute if they catch you with larger amounts. But it definitely solved the major drug problem they had there!

Well, Singapore ranks 53rd out of 195 countries in the world when it comes to drugs. So how much does it really deter?

You’re not drug dealer material then. By the way, the biggest destroyer of society isn’t drugs, it’s alcohol! Booze has the worst impact not only on the addicted themselves, but also on their social environment, like family and friends.

The limit for open water certificate holders is 18 meters. 20 is not that much deeper. So the depth wasn’t the problem. He either came up too fast or it was something else.

The only logical way to go is legalization! I know it sounds crazy, but if you dive into it then you'll realize it's the only way that makes sense because the war against drugs simply can't be won!

Minor consequences? Hard drugs are a federal offense in the US, three of those and you'll spend the rest of your life behind bars. I don't think that's minor.

If the death penalty worked as a deterrent then there wouldn't be any people imprisoned and/or executed for drug offenses! Also, Singapore apparently ranks 53rd per capita in the world when it comes to drug crimes. There's 195 countries in total. In other words, the death penalty doesn't do <deleted>!

Thanks for the laugh! The very fact that they've executed two people in 3 days for drug offenses in Singapore, despite Singapor's death penalty law, proves undeniabley that the death penalty doesn't deter drug crimes!!! Just like the death penalty for capital murder in the US doesn't prevent murders!!!

It's a one-party government in Singapore, they're ethnic Chinese and there will definitely be punishment if you go up against the ruling elite, so yes, you are absolutely correct with your assumption!

Well, I have to disagree! If you're in an Islamic country where it's simply a fact that they'll execute you for blasphemy and you blaspheme publicly while you are there and you get executed then this in entirely your own fault! You had a choice, you could've either shut up or speak up and if you DO speak up be prepared to bear the consequences! Likewise, if you think you have to smuggle heroin into Singapore, despite the fact that it's a well known fact that they'll execute people for that then it's entirely your own fault if you get caught and executed! You can twist and turn that for as long as you want. Doesn't change the fact! She knew the risk and willingly took it! It's their country and their laws. Now whether it's moral to execute someone over 31 grams of H or for blasphemy is a totally different story, but its definitely excessive! I still remember when they executed a father of 2 or 3 young children in Singapore for smuggling 100 grams of weed into the country, which was indeed ridiculous because weed, unlike H, doesn't really harm anyone! But if they executed him for THAT, I'm not surprised they executed her for 31 gramms of the devil's powder!

He gifted the 2 billion to his maid to avoid having to pay taxes on it, who in turn gifted it then to Thaksin's kids after awhile! How inconspicuous and the thought he'd get away with it! One can't possibly be that stupid! Just goes to show what an egomaniac he truly is!

I don't remember that, wouldn't surprise me, though. But strictly speaking it was his company and he could sell it to whomever he wanted to, but I distinctly remember that the Thai government was passed off because he sold it to Singapore instead of Thailand.

What ab obvious move to try to get Trump's voters! Also, way to go to ruin your reputation! ????????????

Give them their own beauty pageant and leave the already existing ones to real women.

He sold AIS to Singapore, if I remember correctly, for 2 billion USD!

Well, he got 30 years for his evil deeds and he's gonna have to watch over his shoulder for the rest of his life and he might get killed.

Nope! The device in the photo isn't a chastity device, it's cock ring, used to maintain an errection and it promotes sex. It's essentially the analog version of medication like viagra. A chastity device on the other hand is used to prevent sex.

Well, I have to say, Pita is quite blue eyed! He's related to Thaksin, he wants to take power away from the military and make amends to the lèse-majesté laws amongst other things and he thought he's gonna get away with it! ???? SMH!

Yeah, nice try. Not buying it. If this was true they could’ve just called the cops, they would’ve had an autopsy performed, which would’ve confirmed it was a heart attack and everyone would’ve gone home instead of trying to flee the country and now to prison!

81 as a club is definitely a supporter club of the Hells Angels, but they’re not HA club members.

He was given “amnesty” in exchange for stopping his rebellion against Putin. Don’t be surprised, though, if he suddenly disappears or falls victim to a novichok attack! Putin will definitely not let it slide.

The confused emoticon is used in more ways than just to express confusion. I use it also when I'm reading a post and my thought on the post is what the hell is wrong with that guy or how can someone be that stupid/delusional/effed up in the head etc.
