This should also apply to all that are on welfare from the state. You shouldn't be using the money for drugs. Of course all those who use illegal drugs will raise hell and declare it not fair. Why should we pay for your drug habits? |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 537948 United States 03/17/2009 07:07 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is not a good idea. It's parrallels the fingerprinting of house sellers in IL. They will impliment these things first with those who need something bad enough to comply. Then, when the system is perfected, it will spread. This is not about worthiness, it's about control. |

joejoe (OP) J to the 3rd User ID: 636694 Switzerland 03/17/2009 07:13 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | this is a terrible idea because it sets a terrible precedent. drug testing is an invasion of privacy! OK; I can understand the argument that if you are a pilot, or have a similar job, OK, but otherwise, HELL NO! Just because you are employed doesn't mean your employer should be able to tell me what I can and cannot do on my own time. I am so glad I don't live in the states anymore. And now, this, even if you are unemployed, we will drug test you too. FUCK NO. The USA is turning into a Fucking prison. OH, who am I kidding, it's already is a police state. . . No clotshot, NEVER! . Mad as hell! . |

Why should we pay for your drug habits? Quoting: Anonymous Coward 93623I completely agree. If you don't want to be tested, don't take money from the state. I have a job to make money and I had to agree to be tested and have random testing. If you want the money you should have to agree to get tested just as we that work have to agree. I don't know the story behind the fingerprinting to sell a house but if your not taking anything from anyone I would think that it is an invasion of privacy. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 609652 United States 03/17/2009 07:43 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in Florida, I am unemployed. To apply for unemployment I went on line and clicked the boxes beside the questions. Ta-Da I have received my first check, deposited in my bank account. There is no requirement to verify that I have made an effort to look for work. I just have to say I have looked for work. I do not have to physically go to any governmental office, talk with anyone, search any data base for job openings, get referrals to jobs, none of that. Every other week I have to go to the web site and click the four boxes beside the four questions or I have to call on the phone and "press 1 for yes or 2 for no" to the automated questions. They could eliminate goldbrickers from the system if they required a real, honest search for work from the unemployed. I have never and will never use so called recreational drugs. I rarely use anything stronger than aspirin. I would pee in front of someone if that is the requirement to collect either a pay check or unemployment. I would have no problem with it. |

You're enthusiasm to show your dick for "a pay check" is sad. You should try smoking herb before you die. God forbid it slaps that stagnant unconcious mind of yours upside the head. You might find the dignity somewhere to wonder why some asswipe in a lab coat is staring at you're gear, watching you pee, and the tyranny the situation represents (for people who use drugs AND (especially) the people who don't). |

How about your child's nurse or doctor? School bus driver? Teacher? Crossing guard? Please try to think about the safety of someone other than yourself. If your unemployed you shouldn't have to take a drug test. You should however have to take a drug test if you want some of my hard earned money. Don't want to take the test that's fine but don't take the money. |
