Fix the justice system. For example, all interrogations to be video taped. And you can only hold someone for 24 hours before arrest.

"but all this old lady was doing was feeding feral animals and perpetuating the social and public health problems they cause."

So what social and public health problems are you referring to? Please expand. What is wrong with feedeing feral animals?

But this is not the right answer: "but make the punishment as painful as possible to deter people from doing it."

That probably led to her death. If Oshio was able to call an ambulance without fear of incrimination I believe he would have done so. It could have saved…

Ha ha. Spoilsport. I've done 5 jumps (highest 134 meters) and had no problems. The setup has to be pretty dodgy for any of these problems to occur.

I've seen automatic pourers that tilt 2 glasses at a time and pour perfectly (for Japanese taste of a lot of foam). They work pretty well. We I was living in London, bartenders could pour directly down and still not create a head (with lager as well!).

Can you tell me five reasons how legalizing drugs will benefit a society?

I wonder how you determined 'five'. But OK, here's five:
1. It will massively reduce organized crime and destroy the current drug cartels.
2. It will enable addicts more incentive for seeking help. And more chance…

Have to agree with cow76 and Wakarimasen. Legalizing drugs is the best way to stop all this nonsense.

Nobody will get sick if they buy and eat the food close to the 'best before' date. Depending on the food, that stuff is safe way after that date. Let people decide if they want to save some money by buying close to date food. In the end everybody wins.
