Once again the NCAA and NFL prove what hypocrites they are on drug testing. Both have booze companies paying them countless millions while saying to their players they can't smoke pot. They hand out pain killers by the hand full and their players drink like fish, beat their wives/girlfriends, wreck their cars and kill or have people kill for them. Sorry folks but these players would be much better off if they smoked pot and get into a hell of a lot less trouble.

Do you ever think before you post?

Did you know pot is illegal while alcohol isn't? Did you know that is important?

Think about what? The fact drug testing does not prove the fact you are high on the job or not. The fact drunks and pill poppers get off while pot smokers get fired, suspended and black balled never mind the fact they might do just fine on the field or the job. The fact this nation was founded and built by drunks whose drug of choice caused violence, sex crimes and auto deaths. Think about that.

It is a law that is stupid and a double standard. A law that has put thousands in prison and cost us billions. A law that has gives employers an excuse to discriminate and cost us billions by keeping people un-employed when they are quite capable of working just like drunks. A bad law should be broken. All the time.

The silliness of this thread full of strawmen, hyperbole and questionable conclusions... amazing.
 
The world's irony meter just exploded.

What in the heck are you talking about? You know as well as I do drug testing is used to discriminate, scare and harass employees. It has nothing to do with job performance or anything else.

Or employers just dont want druggies on the payroll.

Do you mean the irony of a hypocritical war on drugs? Do you mean the underclass drug testing creates. They are basically saying be a drunk or a cigarette smoker because we wont fire you for that even though those drugs kill you. As long as we show up to work on time and perform the job well that is all that should matter to any employer. Why is that wrong?

What about drunks and cigarette smokers who destroy their health and burden the health care system? This country was built on addiction so why discriminate? Oh by the way. I have been to Texas and y'all drink, drug and screw like madmen so don't push the crap on me.

No one is perfect, druggies just less so. I wouldnt hire em either.

No, that you of all people started this thread. :lol:
 
But you would hire drunks and smokers? That my friend is hypocritical.

Who in the hell would want to work for this guy? Could you imagine looking forward to that everyday?
 
Not really. Only to you.

It is hypocritical as hell and you know it. Do not play stupid. Booze kills 175,000 a year and cigarettes kill over 350,000 a year. very few if any deaths happen from pot smoking. Don't you dare say people get killed driving from pot because that would open a can of worms from booze related driving deaths and booze is still legal. Why is it when you conservatives get it in your head to hate something hell or high water won't change your mind. The marijuana laws are wrong and so is discrimination thru drug testing. Cut with the far right moralizing. It reeks the high heaven with plain to see double standards.

What are you Texas rednecks going to do when Texas goes blue? Can you just see it now? Gay marriage, drive in abortion clinics and legal pot. I might just die laughing. It would be worth it for sure. They do rock in Austen and Dallas has a great metal scene. One of my favorite and most Satanic metal singers ever King Diamond lives there. He is from Denmark so I don't know how he stands the heat but the devil protects him I guess.

How is it not being a hypocrite? Right wing thinking's very foundation is built on it. All far right wingers are hypocrites so don't deny it.
 
Ask Wendy Davis how that blue worked out!

The resl question is, what are you lefties gonna do when deficit spending implodes the global economy.

I wonder if you've ever stopped to talk to a conservative without all the bluster.
