Opinion:: Random Drug/Alcohol Testing at work /poll\

hey dumbass, a piece of paper doesn't void my right to HUMAN FREEDOMS regardless of what any stupid *** court has to say about the issue, i answer to a higher power, just because some fat old men decided to make unfair and unjust laws doesn't mean im going to sit here and blindly obey them like you do.

Being employed is not a HUMAN FREEDOM.

If you answer to a higher power, just be glad that your suffering here on earth will be rewarded in the afterlife. Quit your job. Become a hobo, and tour the United States smoking bowls and fatties. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crying.gif.ec0ebefe590df0251476573bc49e46d8.gif

HAHAHAHOHOHEHEHAHAHAHA!™
A piece of paper defines them, why can't one void them?

Uh, why the hell do you think i said HUMAN freedoms? I'm not talking about MAN MADE FREEDOMS, IE the constitution

the constitution was good for its day, but not anymore, we need a new set of laws and rights. and on top of that, the constitution has already been buchered by the powers that be, so what now?

But is it fair that we have to sign away our rights to get a job? Does that not make you question the society we live in? I mean im not a druggie. Ive never smoked or done any drugs and passed a drug test at best buy. But I feel its a huge invasion of privacy and should be illegal. Basing your opinion and summing up their work ethic, their knowledge of the work field, etc on piss. Its ridiculous. Wait in 10yrs when marijuana is legal

When weed is legal then OK, the company will have no legs to stand on. For now though it is an effective tool for them.

Well I dont think RANDOM drug testing is right, but if they give u a heads up on when it will be i think thats fair.

Like when I knew I was going for a promotion I just stopped smoking all together like 6 weeks b4 i was even promoted. Came up clean.

I think its their way to weed out "addicts". the people who cant go a few days w/o smoking, and start shaking.

Even that sounds retarded though, cuz ppl that smoke weed usually arent like that. Its the crack/pill heads that are like that.

I don't totally agree with it, but i see why its done.

in this society, you go nowhere without money. this society is built around money, and working. if i'm forced to either die or live off the streets and in what people -give- me, or strive to make money by working, i think theres only one comfortable option. and on top of that, employers should have NO say in what i put in my body... thats like employers saying all gay guys cant stick penises up their butts, when in reality you see that EOE shit on applications...equal opportunity employer... means you cant base shit off what people do in their own home. whether you be black, gay, another minority...they cant base it off that, so how can they judge someone based on substances in their body?

I actually agree with what you do at home should be your business. Problem is test can't differetiate whether you did it at home or skipped off into the bathroom. It is a real bum rap for weed smokers. However I have caught quite a few cokers who just couldn't resist dipping into bathrooms for fixes. Honestly if I could smoke and keep my job, I probably would. what it boils down to is I'd rather have chedda over weed.

hey, i currently dont smoke right now either cause im unemployed. have some options opening up though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but ive told my buddies many a times when they wanted to smoke

"you think im gonna give up a potential job to smoke a plant?! you have a job, its easy for you to say that. if you were in my boat, youd do the same thing"

...it usually ends up in an argument lol

the constitution & bill of rights are just fine... the way they're interpreted is iffy sometimes (read up on the income tax and you'll quickly see why), but the constitution & bill of rights are good in principle.

Ya kinda like how they have the Anti-Marijuana commercials, but i have yet to see a commercial that was Anti-crack/coke/heroin etc. Like weed is the worst thing in this world. I mean, seriously isnt the percentage of people that have used marijuana before like more then 80% of the population? WTF

I dont know the government and its regulations are ridiculous. They are wanting to put Breathalyzers in cars so you have to blow a .000 to start the car. So its not blowing under the LEGAL limit to drive, its blowing anything. If you have alcohol you cant drive YOUR car. Its ridiculous. Also they are wanting to ban smoking cigarettes in cars. Seriously wtf. I cant smoke MY cigarettes, in MY car, while driving on a road MY tax dollars paid for, in a city i am PAYING to live in. We are basically paying for our freedom to be taken away in my opinion.

X2

And people just give them away..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

Now these arguments are different and I can completely agree. These are limitations your government wants to impose on your own space. Totaslly different issue than an employer looking after his interest and implementing policy he feels is necessary.
