Florida Law on Drug Tests for Welfare Is Struck Down


KEY WEST, Fla. — A federal judge on Tuesday struck down as unconstitutional a Florida law that required welfare applicants to undergo mandatory drug testing, setting the stage for a legal battle that could affect similar efforts nationwide....

 

Nothing comes between my babys mama and her mailbox money.


Pffft.

 

How can you compare pissing for a private sector job to pissing for the government for programs we all have a right to?

 

You don't get the metaphor?


Just curious..


asssit:

 

I am not sure you know what a metaphor is.

 

I'm on the fence on this one. I don't like government intrusions in my privacy, and what's in my piss is definitely private. At the same time, I see the inconsistency here, but I think it highlights the troubling powers we have bestowed upon our employers more than it highlights the possible abuses of the welfare system by pot smokers. In other words, neither employers nor the government should have a right to force me to piss in a cup.

 

You also have to take drug tests for government, public sector jobs.


Oh, and Hi Hank! I had a question for you a couple of weeks ago, but forgot what it was....

 

I'm certain I do.

 

Still a job. Getting piss tested for a job is different than getting piss tested for benefits by the government.


Still looking for the metaphor. Simile maybe.

 

:BangHead:


OK.

 

How is that in anyway confusing or worthy of you being condescending?


1. I don't think it is fair to compare getting pissed for a job to getting pissed for for benefits.


2. There is no metaphor in this thread.

 

Is this going to become a big deal thing because I said something, not directed at anyone, and it annoyed someone, and now my throat will be jumped down because I tried to clarify and it sounds like I am trying bait someone when in reality I was stating my thought? If so close it now and save me this drama.

 

ugg. I give up man. Lion is right. :wtf?:

 

At least you can admit it in public.

 

Haha, don't push it dude. :roffl:

 

That's my opinion on the issue. Private sector piss testing is still an invasion on privacy and should be illegal.


Judge a person job performance by observing them.

Hey AB.

 

:rofl6:

 

Im all for testing anyones job who puts or that puts other people at risk of a lifelong injury or even an opportunity for death as a result of whatever,whomever is doing.......that being said, im also for testing a certain core group of people who are sucking that titty that the government throws out there, there needs to be checks and balances for how you live your life and how you spend that government $$$ if your a gov. titty sucker
