Question

Here's one for you all. A test of morals

Would you ever sell drugs, and/or be a pimp?

I am being serious here actually, am curious to know how many would.

Matt....there shouldn't need to be any criteria.

peoplelike this do what they do because they have no respect for others, Don't care who they hurt and are too lazy to get off their ***** and get a real job.

They can't use the excuse that the money is better because if they had any decency in them they would start at the grass roots of a company and work their way up through determination but that is too much like hard work.

The courts need to take a much harder line with these people.

My answer? No, I would not, because I have morals, hence the subject. If I lacked morals, then yes, I'd do it, it's fast, easy money. But, you'd not have to care about anyone or anything in my opinion to do it, and I'm afraid I'm too caring a person to do it.

Ok, what if you were out of a job for a long time, and were going to be evited from your house, your car had been repossed by the finance company and you were in debt? would you do it then?

Drugs: No.

Pimp in UK: No.

I was asked if I wanted to be a partner in a brothel while in Tenerife, where they are legal taxable businesses. Turned that down too. Could you imagine when you are intridued to your giflfriends parent - "What do you do?" "oh me, I'm a pimp and run a brothel"

A bit of weed? Hmmmm hard to say - who does it hurt?

In response to the second part: If it ever came to it, I would sell my own **** not pimp the missus, doubt I'd make much though I'll just wait for all that to get misquoted now!

Did once sell half a Viagra for 3000 pesetas.

Pimping... Hmmm tricky one...

I have a friend who is in essence a Hooker. She is mighty expensive and makes a good (Yes slightly immoral) Living...

Now my point is she does this through choice. Was not forced into it and is not forced to carry on with it. Hence hurting no one and living rather well when not horizontal. (Pad in Docklands and 911 Cab out front)

Now if a Business client of mine wanted said service and had the wedge I would point him in the right direction, thus in the eyes of some making me a pimp... But I don't have an issue with that.

Right or wrong ???

I guess when a question like this is asked everyone imediately thinks the worst. ie forced Prostitution and crack heads.

Fact is there are a load of wealthy people out there who regularly use class A drugs. Given that no direct misery is caused to others by them commiting crime to fund it... and again it's there choice would i supply them to make a profit...

I'd have to give that one some thought I feel...

how about howard Marks sold tons of weed and was considered public enemy number one for selling something that does millions of times less harm than tobbaco/alcohol.

Hence criteria?

Of course no-one on here has EVER bought drugs from a "dealer" ... just from a "friend" who happened to have an extra eighth / gram / tab / pill etc etc

Hmm its not that black and white.

Selling drugs for a living is bad OK? but then again if you did then moralistically you wouldn't give a toss anyway.

Some student buying an ounce in one go rather than eight 1/8ths seperately is just economic sense. If a few of his mates want to buy the odd 1/8 off him then is he scum of the earth?

Exclamation


I've never taken drugs so i wouldn't know how to price them........as for the second part of your question,surely everyone deserves some sort of representation.

In short,no and maybe.

I've "re-sold" drugs that I have purchased to friends or more accurately, been the chump that goes down to the dealer with everyone's money, does the deal, comes back & then hands them out & takes all the risk Not to/for strangers though...

That's in my dodgy courier past fwiw.

Pimping I've never done, though have sometimes cut through the crap between two shy but interested people & received a beer for my troubles, so on a strange level, yes.

Funny you should ask, I was just reading this story at lunchtime.

My son's school fees are going up this year. Can't wait to see my wife's face when I show her this

Selling drugs - Some countries' laws make a distinction between those who sell for pure profit and those who just sell to a few mates to feed their own habit. Presumably you're talking about for pure profit?

I must say, I'm scared of my son. He seems to absolutely demand the best in life (whatever his friends have), without wanting to lift a finger to earn it. I can see the easy way for him to do this

Listy - I don't have any problems with a lady, or man, who pimp themselves out, if it's their choice, and they are happy doing it, then go for it!

Hell, there are people out there who will pay you vast sums of money so they can dress up in gimp masks and have you force them to clean your house or wash up, or whatever, basically, no sex involved! Now that is some way to make cash

Oh, and I was a dancer in vegas

Fine fine lines people! And this is part of my point here. Some of us might consider selling a bag of weed to be "OK" whereas selling coke or heroin is a bad thing.

Ummmmmm,

Right, having done nothing illegal bar speeding I would almost definitely say no, but, and it's a big but I am going to say yes I would do both.

I reckon my morals got lost somewhere in the past few months but I certainly wouldn't give a stuff what I do now for my own gain.

I've had too much happen against me just lately, what with the wife leaving me for my best mate, taking my daughter with her and stopping me seeing her for months now.

Oh and there's having a large sum of money stolen from me too at about the same time by a fraudulant investment company.

The law is an *** in a matromonial case.

The fraudsters are protected in a fraud case.

Why fúcking bother being decent, you lose everytime?

I keep smiling for now but given the chance i'll be laughing.

No,

But....

Drug Dealers - Wouldn't mind beating the **** out of them with a baseball bat then making them OD on thier own **** (They deserve nothing less)

Pimps - Same as above, except rather than the OD on drugs, give em round two with the baseball bat!
