They must have had a reserve candidate instead of using this low life.

Not a fan of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act, then Tora?

Drug dealers have some brilliant business skills, time management, supply and demand, import export... Makes perfect sense to me why some big entrepreneurs use to be drug dealers.

[Zacs-Master]

Most of them sound like they're on drugs anyway.

[spathiphyllum]

TTT, ever took drugs? (illegal) at all?

[ToraToraTora]

a leopard cannot change its spots kval.

[ToraToraTora]

Not that it's relevant to this but I have never taken drugs.

[Zacs-Master]

Alcohol? Coffee?

[kvalidir]

Plenty of Leopards change their spots Tora, my father has not been back to prison since he was released way before I was born, instead he devoted himself to becoming and successful businessman and succeeded. He's not isolated by any means.

Well i guess you can't judge then.. You know, walk in their shoes n all?

Also maybe that makes you closed minded and a bit ignorant to that entire sector of life.

Flippin' eck Kval. Father ex con. You own land and property and several businesses, and only aged 20. What is the secret of your success ??

[ToraToraTora]

they can cover their spots when things go their way and perhaps get successful in other ways to make their previous behaviour unnecessary but the default tendency is always there, ready to surface if needed. Let's hope it's never needed but once there is an ability to deal in misery it will always be there in the back ground. It's like a reformed alcoholic, they know they are an alcoholic, always will be, even if they never have another drink.

Why is anyone on the Apprentice? It proves me wrong every series, I swear it can't get any worse but it succeeds every time.

Yeah that's why Miss piggy has a restraining order on david cameron

Can you honestly say you've never just done something once? People deal drugs because they're in need of finances so they hustle under the system because it's not catering for them. From this they gain life skills and business skills. If they then get sorted by the system and don't need to pursue this 'career path' then why would they resort back to potentially being in prison?

"but the default tendency is always there"

Ah the ignorance.. Do you think people are born into a life destined to become drug dealers? People make ends meat. There is nothing more to it. if the system won;t cater for you, then make your own job. The emand will always be there

spath; "Well i guess you can't judge then.. You know, walk in their shoes n all? Also maybe that makes you closed minded and a bit ignorant to that entire sector of life. " - well you get the gold for complete botox there me old china. It's not necessary to be a user or a dealer to know about the misery that side of life brings.

[spathiphyllum]

[spathiphyllum]

^ Naomi.. i'm sorry i broke your heart, but as i said, we weren't exclusive!

spath: "People deal drugs because they're in need of finances" - oh that's where I've been going wrong, dam, I just got a job when I needed money, if only I'd have thought of drug dealing how different could my life have been?
