Surely just because "gum" has been prohibited for a while this isn't your reason? |

It's not necessarily communistic (though the communists in power were/are very guilty of it). Communism is a fiscal system that involves government ownership of all industry. Singapore is capitalistic but authortarian. |

I doubt they consider themselves Communist. |

The US does not have a love of the death penalty. Our appeals process is like 20 years. I don't get what you are saying about fire arms either, guns are perfectly ok in the right hands. |

Actully, Singapore is not communist nor is it ruled by communists. In fact it has been strongly anti-communist and pro-western since independence, especially under Lee Kuan Yew.
And yes Singapore is somewhat of an authoritarian state, but that is not the problem. The problem is that it is a nanny state. You can't even speed without your car making all sorts of noise letting you know you are breaking the law.

Commu...wha?
said by SamsungSucks :Doesn't surprise me. That coming from a communist state. If it were really a communist state, they'd have enforcement against the neighbors who dared to run a private home network of their own. There would be a "people's" network serving the entire country and it would be a citizen's only choice of internet access (unless one were a party official!). It would also have terrible quality of service because without competition it would be truly free of motivation. |

Re: So?
Funny...(to reciprocate your partisan jab)as mentioned above, Singapore isn't strictly Communist, just authoritarian...and is apparently a big fan of protecting the public from themselves, something the Dems love to do. |
