    Challenging to criticize Singapore if you’re from somewhere with monthly massacres of school children.

      the monthly massacres aren’t government policy. executing a cannabis trafficker is.

        aren’t government policy

        That could be debated. They’re certainly at least the standard they walk past and accept.

          I don’t see what schoolkids parents has to do with a government sanctioned execution of a cannabis trafficker.

        There is an active policy of not preventing cold massacres. Hope that clarifies the point.

          There is no official “active policy” at the national level that I’m aware of. -As for unofficial policy, that varies from one municipality to the next, and from one state to the next. Is the Singaporean policy of executing cannabis traffickers not an official national policy carried out uniformly across the country?

            Deaths arising from acts of omission can be prosecuted. Doesn’t work with Government given the Amendment arguments.

          I’m aware of no such written policy. -As far as unwritten policy goes, that varies from one municipality to the next and one state to the next. Is this Singaporean written policy of executing cannabis traffickers not a national policy uniformly carried out throughout the entire country?

          … and Singapore has an active policy of condoning and committing murder. That’s bad.

          I pray that clears things up for you.

      Not at all. Murder is murder regardless of the country.

      How could you possibly think that is challenging? Of course it should be criticized.
