don't drive tired. don't drive caffeinated. don't drive on tylenol. | Please spare me the "I can drive fine while stoned" BS. Its not remotely the same as being tired, having a coffee or popping a few pain killers.

I think driving tired can be much worse than driving high on marijuana... and maybe even worse than driving drunk...

I'm been drunk, stoned, tired, high, ... while driving and will admit all are stupid, some more stupid than others. I won't try stupidly and ignorantly to justify being behind the wheel impaired.
No-one can justify driving impaired, so please stop trying.

The streets are completely clean, the children are extremely well behaved, cars are almost all new as they must be destroyed after 20 years (unless its an approved vintage classic), and all government subsidized housing buildings are destroyed after 30 years so state subsidized residents always live very well.
I must assume you thought that Vancouver was heaven compared to Singapore.
Vancouver = unacceptable amount of drug crimes, inferior health care coverage, overwhelmed judicial/law enforcement system, etc etc.
If you're going to apply "stone age" in a city comparison, I think you should look at Vancouver instead.

Driving high is not hard at all. Its actually pretty easy and also fun as well. That being said, I won't do it any more.
I've had several close calls, and even though they were few and far in between, all it takes is one close call to actually happen and turn your life around. Why take the risk?

That's great.
Get submission by instilling fear in the population.
What a great way to live.

Wow, i take back my question of whether you were high or not. You ARE high.
You actually think that the Singaporean government (along with other countries that gives out death penalties for drug offences) is bad place to live? What are you on? I know its not weed, coz i've smoked up and it doesn't impair my logic. Those laws are meant to protect citizens from access to HARD drugs that ruins lives and families.
Dont get me wrong..I LOVE Vancouver, but I lived in Singapore for 2 years and i can confidently say that it was a great place to live.
All those reason the other posters said was spot on, I do want to add though that their public transportation system is top notch. ie: awesome MRT system, and super cheap taxis (this cant even be compared with anywhere else)
so yeah, "What a great way to live" indeed

| You got me GOOD by calling me high.  Gold star for originality.
Yep, it's a bad place to live. I consider it a shithole. I have absolutely no desire to visit a country like that. I don't care about how nice their public housing is, or how good their rail system is. I believe in punishment should suit a crime. Execution does not fit the crime of drug possession. I don't believe execution is a just punishment for ANY crime.
This is my opinion if you don't like it you can kiss my ass.
If you love their lifestyle so much, why are you here?

|  That's ok, I wouldn't touch your ass with a 10 foot pole let alone kiss it.
You need to learn to read. Nowhere did i say that I "love" their lifestyle, I merely stated that it is a great place to live. You must have skimmed over the part where I clearly said that I LOVE Vancouver. THAT is why I'm here. Go back to school, you clearly need it.

so yeah, "What a great way to live" indeed | you're an idiot. do you realize that mistakes happen? your perfect society kills innocent people. that is the inherent flaw with capital punishment. innocent people get put to death for crimes they did not commit. SOUNDS GREAT TO ME! hopefully you'll die and i just get to ride the MRT.
and governments where idiots like you cowtow and think it's utopia just makes it easier for corrupt officials to be corrupt.

Your mistake is to think that having possession of a couple of joints or 10 equals having a big ziplock bag worth of weed. Quote:

Singapore is far from a perfect society, no society is. And when did it become MY society? READ, jeez. Quote:

Innocent ppl who bought sizable amount of ILLEGAL (as deemed in that country) drugs? I'm sure those "Innocent people" didn't commit any illegal activity. Quote:

Singapore's great but I LOVE Vancouver cause its awesome and that's why i live here. Rinse and repeat if it doesn't get through your thick skull.
