I love Singapore and even moved here from the US to run my business near my wife but their laws and death sentence... omg

Do you worry a lot about the laws? Or have you adjusted to living around them?

So if you hate somebody you just plant some weed in their car, wtf
Still that American guy stealing that kim jong un poster and eventually
dying due to illness in prison is the most absurd one I heard myself.

This is terrible news. But the laws of Singapore must be respected. After all, there are excellent opportunities for starting a business in this country. They have created an ideal environment for entrepreneurs. That's why many companies that have a significant impact on the whole world open factories, branches in this country. And the cheap labor force is an important plus. The main thing is to have a [link redacted]. The purpose of the COR is to allow individuals or companies to take advantage of tax benefits through the Agreement on Avoidance of Double Taxation in Singapore.

That's just nuts. I think more people need to smoke it . The world would be a nicer place at least.

weed is a demerit good, it will cause a negative externality if too many ppl start smoking it leading to society to never reach a social optimum

what a horror , a death sentence for what some people do every day

Jesus that's horrible. It's easy to make the argument that he should have known the risk... But it's so extreme.

That's terrible, Jesus. It's simple to argue that he should have been aware of the danger... But it's so far out.

There's an injustice there of the weight of the crime vs the weight of the punishment. However, if someone from that culture is able to explain the perspective of why it's that way, I'd be more than willing to listen.

I don't think there can be any argument on a basis of culture for a condemnation to death over weed. My understanding is that it's meant to be a deterrent to others but seeing that type of policy actually play out shows it for what it is, barbarism.

I wouldn't say that a culture could excuse it, but moreso to understand why it is that way in the first place. I think some of the US's policies on drugs and abortion are barbaric, but to people that live there, it's perfectly normal and it's based on a lifetime of thinking in a certain way. We don't have to agree with something to understand it. If that makes sense?

Yea with added clarification I see the angle you're going for and agree.
