THE JOB - URINE TEST:

I HAVE TO PASS A URINE TEST FOR MY JOB...SO I AGREE 100%. Like a lot of folks in this state, I have a job. I work, they pay me. I pay my taxes and the government distributes my taxes as it sees fit. In order to get that paycheck, I am required to pass a random urine test with which I have no problem. What I do have a problem with is the distribution of my taxes to people who don't have to pass a urine test. Shouldn't one have to pass a urine test to get a welfare check because I have to pass one to earn it for them? Understand, I have no problem with helping people get back on their feet. I do, on the other hand, have a problem with helping someone sitting on their BLEEP, doing drugs, while I work...Can you imagine how much money the state would save if people had to pass a urine test to get a public assistance check? Something has to change in this country -- and soon.

one could call it discriminatory. The discrimination being against the hard working tax paying citizen.

Excellent post Native. It is so simple and I don't feel it's discriminatory at all. Libs demand that every person have the "right to choose". So, if one chooses not to work then I say hand them a dixie cup.

Native I was wondering when someone would put up a post about UAs and having to take them. Yes the welfare recipeants should be forced to take a UA to get there checks and foodstamps and medical and everything else they get for free. To bad ole Gov. Napalapatpno wont put this before the house and see where it would go from there. Maybe you could write you senator and suggest it they have to know that it would save millions in fraudulent claims.

Urine tests and drug laws are for the poor.

I haven't taken a urine test for over 5 years. People with 'cool jobs', you know the people who get tax cuts, don't have to take urine tests. If we want to do drugs, we'll do it responsibly. And, let's face it, the expensive stuff, good roads, parks, schools that are paid through tax dollars goes to us. We just pacify you with welfare, etc.

Amen native, the politicians are so out of touch with real people its pathetic. They just can't relate. They vote in their own raises, where did that come from.....I never got to do that at my job. They should also get the same kind of retirement we get, why should they make more after they retire than they do in office and what's with their health care???
They only have to serve one term to get full retirement?? I just can't believe how all this was allowed to happen........we just sat around and said ok.
My husband was always saying we need a regular guy to get into politics, someone like us. When he heard Todd Palin's interview with Fox, he found his guy, but he's the 'first dude' so he won't make policy....I hope Sarah remembers where she's come from and gets something done for the little guy. A regular guy/gal can't afford to run for office, you have to have $$ or friends with $$, that's where the problems start. It needs to be easier and cheaper to run for office.

AKS oh my freeking god are you that much of an idiot to say "Urine tests and drug laws are for the poor." and that you will do drugs responsibly and that only people with cool jobs dont have to take UAs. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHa jesus I trully dont know where to begin you have caught me at a loss for words. No its not that I dont have anything to say its I have so much to say that I dont know where to start.
Well lets see Police, Firemen, Hospital Staff, Airline Pilots well they all take random drug tests are you saying those jobs arent "cool"??
What do you consider a cool job? Oh maybe your hairdresser or manicureist wait wait maybe your rich boyfriend and I say that cause being your boyfriend is a full time job. I mean look at all the things he has to do you. Like make sure you dont chew gum and talk at the same tiem god forbid you should choke, or maybe hold your hand when your walking so you can talk at the same time and not trip. Where do you come up with the drivel that comes out of your mind and onto the keyboard.

Do you honestly think that you are above everyone else? Some of the people on welfare cant work because of dissabilitys, some choose not to work cause the goverment is taking care of them not because they cant work but because they dont want to. Do you believe that only poor people should take UAs because they are poor. God forbid you ever have to scroung for food or a place to sleep. The goverment has put a lot of those people where they are. We here are saying the ones that abuse the system and some of the people that have COOL jobs should have to take a UA to prove they are what they say they are. It sounds to me like you wouldnt pass one in which case if you were my employee you would be looking elsewhere for a job maybe you could get a cool one at the mall or something.

I think it would be a great idea Native...and it would create more jobs too, Pee Checkers, we had them in the military, why not for civilians? It would have to be a minimum wage job tho, cant think of any real defining qualifications for it, but have run across a few posters that sound just perfect.

Be Advised: Listen to Aks.....

Apparently she has specialized in Unine & Drugs.

It's another one of her specialties!

She not celebrated as the "Liberal Catheter Specialist", for nothing!!!

3 beers for aks! Hip! Hip! O-lay!

You are pissed, b/c it's true.

I don't think anyone should have to take a pee test to prove they are innocent. I don't think marijuana should be illegal either. I don't think that we should be popping synthetic drugs made by companies who are so concerned with profit they use sweat shops and other disgusting manufacturing plants in China.

PD, FD, teachers, etc. have a salary ceiling which is why some of those people are lured into criminal activity in order to be 'cool' enough to make what they are worth (unless they are just do gooders and I commend those people b/c I don't lean left far enough to be part of a socialist institution). SO, I would argue that those are not 'cool' jobs (unless you are a do gooder).

Now, let's be honest, you all. Do you think lawyers and doctors take pee tests? And if they did, don't you think they would be smart enough to realize that you are permitted to have a small amount of THC in your urine and still pass. They would also know that how long it stays in your system depends on your metabolism, how much you smoke and how much you drink fluids. Heck, I can assure you that 1. the pee test places don't test all of the pee to save money (so if you look normal, like me, you are in the clear) or 2. THC doesn't stay in your system longer than 36 hours even if you smoke regularly).

So the pee test is nothing more than an exhibition of power of the boss over its subordinates and your willingness to acknowledge and embrace that b/c you either have no choice or have a different understanding of AMerica than I do.

oops, I missed a word. Paragraph 4 should read
