[QUOTE="DevilMightCry"] Best quote ever.ad1x2

It's actually a really sad quote. Rather then arguing that his employer should not have the right to drug test him (they shouldn't), he instead chooses to cry that someone elses rights are being protected.

I'm going to have to disagree with that one only because I get a warm and fuzzy knowing that my daughter's school bus driver is regularly tested so she doesn't end up driving off of a ditch while high.

As opposed to driving off a cliff because they are sleep deprived, intoxicated, chronically depressed, or a myriad of other reasons?

[QUOTE="trick_man01"]I think everybody who is on welfare should be tested. I had to get tested for my job so I could pay for their welfare.DevilMightCry

Because how can you possibly marry someone you aren't sexually attracted to?

[QUOTE="Nibroc420"] I'm not saying everyone's going to go from poverty to multi-billionare. I'm just saying, if you grow up in a s*** home, and you're able to make the connection between working, and having money. You'd think people would learn that if they actually got a job, their life might improve. Maybe if they work hard in school, they'll be able to move away. Instead we see people simply going "ehh whatever" and continuing to leech off of society.Nibroc420

Yes yes, I hear people LOVE to depend on others for their livelihood and being seen as less because of it! :roll:

I mean do you honestly think people don't try?

Please tell me why there are so many poor people in somalia, despite them not having any real type of welfare?

[QUOTE="OwldolphHootler"]

No, growing up in poverty makes it extremely difficult to succeed in life. Not impossible, but odds are against you. All throughout history, no matter what civilization you choose poverty statistically breeds more poverty rather then not.

We will have to agree to disagree. Dictionary.com is the source for said definitions, not Wikipedia. One has to work for income, one doesn't work for assistance unless state rules dictate (such as GA where you work for the county's DFACS office or have to prove weekly that you are actively searching for work).

Feel free to disagree, its not even my point. My question is, what do you think will happen as a result of the people who have their welfare cut? You must realise that such a policy will create people who have not means of income? What will be the knock on effect of these people without money, addicted to drugs and very low employability? Do you conceede that crime will rise? And if so, is a higher crime rate better than people claiming welfare whilst taking drugs? Thats the real question here and none have addressed it.

Then send those who commit crimes to jail. They will get fed and have to work (unless there are no work programs at prison now) while they are there, not to mention kick a drug habit, the hard way.
