Chewing gum is well known there as a gateway drug.

How Doc Tom never ended up living under a bridge giving BJs for heroin is true miracle…

Singapore specifically has a lot of quality-of-life type laws. They don't want chewed up gum on their streets & stuck under their tables, & it's in general viewed as a low-class habit. They want a super clean city, so they make the nuisance item illegal with a strong enough punishment that people take notice & don't do it. Just a different mindset than most places in America.

I don't think you find a lot of the Thai-style prostitution & druggie stuff there either, FWIW.

So if you wanna chew some gum, bang a prostitute, enjoy some gummies and buy a mansion for $79k then Thailand is where to go… @HBK4Life - I think that’s your retirement plan

This thread turned into a reminder of that American kid who was beat with a sugar cane or something for spraying graffiti in Singapore. I remember that being a news story for a bit.

I don’t think it was a true story

I think you're right. Good movie though. Return to Paradise

If I told you I would have to unalive you.

But really, I don’t know their specifics but know from a trusted source there are several small “branches” of known “families” here in Omaha.

Mostly doing stuff such as this and other gambling stuff.

Not to Cav it up, but…

The 1998 movie Return to Paradise — starring Vince Vaughn, Joaquin Phoenix, and Anne Heche — is not based on a true story.

It’s a fictional drama that was loosely inspired by an earlier French film called Force majeure (1989). Both films explore the same moral dilemma: whether friends should sacrifice their own freedom to save someone else from severe punishment abroad.

Ok well then I guess my memory isn't all that good.

As if you would give specifics if you knew them.

And sorry to ruin your week but Bad News Bears, the Santa Clause, and The Lion King were also not based on true stories

Actually wasn't Saint Nicholas a real person? Please don't shatter my world view!

Pretty sure Lord of Rings is based on a true story though. Tolkien himself said it!
