Drug Testing!!
- Thread starter dmreed4311
- Start date
When the egg donor was caught with distribution amounts of narcotics and my son (never married to the egg donor thank God) did the right thing and called the idiots asking what he should do as she was scheduled to have custody the next week, the DCS idiots did the "right thing" and took the little guy into state's custody. Everyone who was going to have contact with him during weekend visitations had to be drug tested initially and "regularly" afterwards. The afterwards testing was only on the father. Completely screwy system. Took over a year to get him back from the bozos. I learned just how foolish and out of control the DCS system is. God help you if you happen to be a working decent person they will do everything to make sure you spend the most money and effort possible; if you are scum, they will look for ways to help you out. Watched time and time again in court.

Sorry to hear about all the trouble you've had to go through. The important thing as Crane already said is you get to see your grand kid and he is safe. Good luck, Johnny
Oh, the money spent on lawyers was worth it. They live with us (the genius judge forced him to quite school and get a minimum wage job to "prove" he could take care of the boy - no such requirements of the worthless mother, he's trying to work for me & finish school now) so I get to see him every day.
I could rant for days on the local child "services" people. I hope nobody ever had to deal with those people.
Are you against this new drug testing Medicare recipients? Your hard core republican...
I think it's a great idea.
Remember in the classic movie "a Christmas story"? They are in the like 40's and "the tax guy" would come around to see what you own for tax purposes? They need to do that to these freeloaders today that spend more money on McOnalds and AirJordans than I spend on insurance to replace all my stuff they steal from me.
i'm all for drug testing, but for a similar reason as your looking in the face advice. if someone is going to be around me or working for, there is a zero tolerance policy for illegal activity. i can overlook a felony from 5 years ago PROVIDED none of that is currently in your life. if the behaviors, thoughts and actions that got you arrested the first time are still there, you just have got to go.
also not surprised 5 guys tests. tons of pot smoking in the 15-20yr old first job demographic.
I believe in the constitution and personal liberties. I really could care less unless they give me a reason to otherwise. I don't care if someone hurts themselves it's the others part that I'm against like drinking and driving etc. Alcoholics are more of a problem than someone who smokes pot. The only difference is one is legal the other is not.
I think we should start drug testing all the CEOs of corporations that receive huge government subsidies and corporate welfare that we all pay for.Did you get drug tested today? Thank you Florida, Kentucky, and Missouri, which are the first states that will require drug testing when applying for welfare. Some people are crying and calling this unconstitutional. How is this unconstitutional? It's OK to drug test people who work for their money but not those who don't?
Just a little info i found out yesterday,

That sounds so illegal! In some places is illegal to ask the new employee if she s married or single. Drug test? You will be sued for the rest of your life
Yes
You assume that a person is high in drugs
If they test positive, you are ok, but if they test negative, you are screwed

(and btw, I love that the 'bot touting urine samples used MLK Jr for his avvy - shows just how high-class he really is...)
In the US, companies are allowed to do drug tests, credit checks, and criminal records checks in virtually every state. This is because as an employee, a person becomes a representative of that company and is responsible for their equipment, the safety of customers, etc.
I'm a big fan of privacy and personal freedom - but when you take responsibility for the welfare of another's property or security, you lose some of that privacy and freedom.
Is still not right
If i am out of my head, then fair enough
But to randomly stop me for a drug test? Is a bit much
It also depends on the job. A bit of cocaine could make me dig faster as a builder

Remember what your employees do on the clock falls on your insurance, your company and you personally. Whether they steal, injure themselves or someone else. You will then be sued out of home and business.
So yes testing is necessary for some. And 100% legal whether it be illegal drugs or prescription drugs depending on the job.

We do indeed. If I choose to drive my car when I've had one too many, that's on me. But if I have a tech driving my truck in the same condition, then *I* am the one responsible for any damage. Plus, what do my customers think of me when they see an employee under the influence?
The law says a company can make its employees abide by virtually ANY rules it sets - and the employee has the right to say "I don't like your rules, so I quit."
