At first, I answer the question that was raised at the beginning of the whole article. I think it is Portugal instead of Holland has the most liberal drug laws. However, there are still a lot of controversial issues that exists.
They could be separated into two categories. The one is the socially conservative and largely Catholic nation say if the decriminalization is prevalent in the world and then the world will become a drug abusing world. They do not believe people will discipline themselves.
Nevertheless, the others insist that now that there are there are apparent evidences that show before us, it is the Portugal successful example. This group of people has a belief in person’s dignity. There is a paper, published by Cato show us that after the drug possessing was canceled, not only the drug users among teens in Portugal has decreased but the rate of HIV infections which were also called as AIDS has declined nowadays.
In my opinion, the stance of the Portugal government is very clear. They think the treatments are more important than putting the addicts in jails. And what is good news to the government is the money used to enforce the addicts to quit their bad habits.
If the policy in Portugal government policy on this part is right, I think the time will prove.

Facebook, it was noun that I was introduced by my friend on the msn, a kind of on-line interaction. It is the same kind of communication as msn or skype or something like that. Facebook soon caught on among the young, especially in the university. Out of the founder’s surprise, the members of the users grew so fast that almost surpassed the old devices like Face Time or Enhance It. With the increasing of the users, the extent of the users had expanded from the students to the social people. I think even the full-time mother can involve in the new kind of activity, Facebook. The up-to-date technology enables people who have no time to keep in regular touch with their most intimate friends.
The most significant function of that is to let people know what’s going on of their friends and it provides us the chance not to give someone a visit on purpose, we just have t sit in front the computer for two or even three hours, we will know how and what my confidant is doing. Because of its great power, It's not surprising to me that it's replacing other forms of communication. Though we are home not going any where and we will not become a social hermit.
I think even if the Facebook is not a new idea on the internet for the communication, it really supply us the most not convenient way to reach someone and it also strengthen the social-networking system in our life.
