In my heart I knew that rotten testicles and inflamed penises were on the way.

Yeah, one of the Discordians they don't give a shit about.

So if this forum is so obscure and insignificant, why are you so worked up about people referring to you by your real name?


Because of creeps like Agrippa and Mr. Bear.


I have kids may I remind you.

Unlike anyone else on this board...


"anyone else on this board" hasn't had creeps make obscene remarks about their kids, nor, had their real name published without their permission.   
Cynicism is a blank check for failure.

And that one hit of weed will impair you for at least 10 days.


Some employers are dicks.  Employers in an 'at-will' state can fire you for looking at them the wrong way.  An even-handed employer would look at the test along with the rest of the picture,  If you tested positive, but have been a model employee, productive, timely, etc., you are very likely not going to get fired.


But, employers should have tools available to them to catch the ones who are coming impaired and posing a risk to others.  Do you disagree with that notion?  If so, why?

There you go, assuming facts not in evidence.


Are you seriously arguing that employees never go to work impaired ever?  Really?
I'm seriously arguing that a piss test is not evidence of impairment.

An argument that you have yet to address.

I have addressed it, you don't like the answer.

Employers are risk averse. 

ECH claims there is a reliable test for impairment, if so, then hopefully employers will use them when it is legal.  Until all employers get there, they have to use the tools available and make their best judgement.  Would you want to be responsible for someone who tested positive and caused a workplace accident that claimed another life?

Or are you going to keep skirting that issue and pretending it doesn't exist?

Same thing goes for booze.  Right now, if there's any biological indication that you use alcohol, you should be fired on the spot.

Oh, RWHN believes in "diversion", which is where you wreck someone's life forever without actually sending them to prison.

Unless they're poor, of course.

I once had someone on this forum claim they were going to come to my house and stomp me.  Strangely, they never showed... even after I pm'd them my address.  Funny thing about internet tough guys.

Have you forgotten about Agrippa who wanted to go out with my (then) 5 year old girl?

You think that's funny?
