Ecstasy: Class A drug? 12:53pm on 02 Oct 2008 Biased Broadcasting Company why not just ban me make life easy and save me posting.

Biased sample
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A biased sample is a statistical sample of a population in which some members of the population are less likely to be included than others. If the bias makes estimation of population parameters impossible, the sample is a non-probability sample.

An extreme form of biased sampling occurs when certain members of the population are totally excluded from the sample (that is, they have zero probability of being selected). For example, a survey of high school students to measure teenage use of illegal drugs will be a biased sample because it does not include home schooled students or dropouts. A sample is also biased if certain members are underrepresented or overrepresented relative to others in the population. For example, a "man on the street" interview which selects people who walk by a certain location is going to have an over-representation of healthy individuals who are more likely to be out of the home than individuals with a chronic illness.

Ecstasy: Class A drug? 12:01pm on 29 Sep 2008 #40 AngryTaffy

I am not my brother's keeper. The only victim of drug-taking is the user. But if the user causes harm to any third party while under the influence the state should show no mercy.

Pity this is not true for the weekend's oh wait thats alcohol and perfectly alright to kick someones head in because they may have looked at you.

Anyways back to pills n stuff
I know a man he sells pills n coke n herb n acid n just about anything else you can take.
He got caught selling pills n coke judge gave him 3 years he served 6 months why ?? becuase he is also a drug addict, while still taged hes running about selling pills n powders. So 14 years for dealing E and cocaine.... Is only true if the seller is NOT addicted to drugs. So MODA71 does not work as a deterant.

What has been the interlectual cost of this policy. Could this be why we have to import talent to this country because we have criminalised all our great minds.
Ecstasy: Class A drug? 00:36am on 29 Sep 2008 Amanda22 I lost my brother to heroin just under 5 years ago so i have a real understanding of were people come from and how such things affect one and those around them.

If such drugs are legal then the doctor pharmacey etc has a duty of care to make sure that the customer is well enough to take the drug in the first place and has the power and right to say no this wont suit you because you show these signs or weekness in you body.

Your brother is a prime example of this dark age of abuse we live in, the people you should be angry with is the goverment the people that have created this nightmare situation. I watch heroin and cocaine addicts all day long scurry back n forth from the phone box its sickening. 7:30am 10-15 addicts outside the local co-op waiting to use the phone school children in and out of the shop then the cars start the young girls appear a lot wont pay for there drugs this day, or any other.

Drugs are everywere it couldn't be any simpler to hold of them. If only the world could see all of the drug trade just for one day just so they can understand what a monster they have created through prohabition.
Ecstasy: Class A drug? 2:13pm on 28 Sep 2008 LMAO thats what i love i cant think of anything better to say so ill pick on spelling.
I personaly suffer from a common reading/spelling disorder which if i dont type or spell the first time round i may as well just forget even thinking about the word. gets out spell checker which while realy good makes you feel somewhat thick.
Now ask me to paint thats another matter altogether. :D Build a network easy fix your pc teach you how to use it.

PS im rubbish at maffs as well :P
Ecstasy: Class A drug? 01:02am on 28 Sep 2008 Drugs are not evil thats a very daft view of the world, how we treat them and the people involved is evil, people on both sides of the fence.
The dealer does not want an end to prohabition.
The goverment does not want and end to prohabition.
I think the only group that would like to realy see an end to prohabition on E will be the pharm's and rightfully so they could do so much with a pill or a patch.

Drugs are a tool with which to subdue the populas or enrage it, how we go on to manage these tools will have a great affect on us all currently management of drugs has failed outside the working environment and is left in the hands of the young and those that will put profits and policys before human life.
Ecstasy: Class A drug? 7:23pm on 27 Sep 2008 While were on pills for thrills it would be intersting to see how safe E is compared to other prescribed drugs on a day to day death rate. Over the years Im sure many prescribe drugs exeed these death rates but go unmentioned because they are licenced for use.

are pills like proplus gateway drugs to recreational pill taking?
Ecstasy: Class A drug? 02:39am on 27 Sep 2008 Morning as i said somewere before this lot are crazy.
How they can move drugs up and down a scale based on whim. Maybe the pharma companys aint doing so well :)
Last time i looked the co-op or ASDA didn't sell all the chemicals needed to make these pills. Maybe they are smuggled in by skunk growing children from developing countrys..

No 9 the goverment collect tax from the pharms that make the chemicals that make the pills so yes they are taxed by the goverment.

BTW how much is E 2 for a quid ? thats how much they sell for here..... Well there not E there pills...
Births outside marriage - a real cause for concern 11:26pm on 24 Sep 2008 hmm both sides of the coin for myself and my wife, we celebrated 14 years of marraige yesterday although our eldest is 21. Concepts have changed over the last few years with reguards to the single parent not for the good in many cases through the pressure of political policys making it impossable for a lot of low income familys to survive together.

Start at the bottom of the pile with those traped in areas were high unemployment exists and there are a lot of unemployed people living together either as couples or man and wife. The choice to stay together is indeed a very hard one for economic reasons alone, the single mum or dad gets on average 10% less income than the couple in some form of partnership. So right from the outset the concept of the single parent is a good one why keep a partner for £10 extra a week on your benifit when if your both single your income almost doubles.
Tax credits did a lot to help support the concept of family through the child credit system but still falls fare short on making a stable economic environment for couples and children. So to be single with children is good.
The only thing that saddens me about this is the loss of the family tree, most children now are just branches far from the support of the main trunk.
