Heroin use on - Live TV

Amsterdam, Netherlands :" A television presenter on a new Dutch talk show plans to take heroin and other illegal drugs on air in a program intended to reach young audiences on topics that touch their lives. The show, scheduled to premier on late-night television Oct. 10, is called "Spuiten & Slikken," or the "Shoot Up and Swallow" show. Even in the liberal Netherlands, where marijuana is sold and used openly, the idea was met with dismay by the governing center-right Christian Democrat party. Justice Ministry spokesman said it was not clear if he could be prosecuted. Possession of any amount of heroin is illegal,a highly addictive narcotic.The "Shoot Up & Swallow" shows will interview guests about drug use and abuse, while carrying out in-the-field experiments with sex and drugs Host, plans to smoke a heroin pill, have drinking binges in a series of pubs. Also take the drug LSD...On his couch under the supervision of his mother. The Netherlands is known for its marijuana policy, where sale and use of the drug in small quantities are not prosecuted even though technically illegal. Other drugs, including LSD, cocaine, Ecstasy and heroin are outlawed and dealers are prosecuted. The legal age for the consumption of alcohol and tobacco is 16. The BNN Show Has....Drawn viewer complaints for programs in the past, including a sex education program called "This Is How You Screw." One segment discussed how to have sex in a nightclub and featured life-size mannequins with sex organs It amazes me just how low people will go to get people to watch them on TV for fame!! What if he O.D.'s while taking these drugs? Are they going to tape that too?"

Liberal Verses Consertive

Most Americans have no idea what it sounds like to the rest of the world when an American condescendingly uses the word liberal as if it were a bad thing. Just to clarify: During the independence war, the British were the right-wing, conservative establishment. The Americans who decided to fight for their freedom were liberals. (liberal comes from liberty.) The founding fathers were liberals. The US is built on the ideals of liberalism. Thomas Jefferson (he wrote the declaration of independence) was a liberal. The declaration of independence, the constitution, and above all the bill of rights are the highest ideals of liberalism. You won't find a more liberal political paper than these documents. Everything the US stands for, everything Americans are proud of, are the liberal ideals of the liberal founding fathers. It has taken Europe centuries to reach those liberal ideals through horribly bloody wars. Ironically, today Europe is more liberal, while the US has drifted back into the same dangerous right-wing nationalism and radical patriotism that Europeans have fought centuries to rid themselves of - and that the US fought to liberate itself from during the independence war. Today the majority of Americans are more or less radical nationalists, with political views so right-wing, they often border on fascism. Of course Americans don't realize that. They think they're simply being "good Americans. This is just something I wanted to post, if you don't agree...Tell me!"
