"you missed the point"


no I didn't



Quote :
"similarity"

the similarity is obvious, as is the fact that I saw it, and from what I've posted in this thread

my opinion is that the risk coming from a responsible and qualified worker who might happen to do drugs

isn't great enough to justify a company bothering with drug testing job applicants

or employees with good job performance and no "issues" on the job

but that for insurance companies, the risk is substantial enough to take into account (for obvious reasons)

don't forget that I've pointed out that some companies are compelled to test by the government or ignorant bigotry



Quote :
"[being] in agreement with paying a higher [health insurance] premium for your drug use [is] a LOSER move"

why is that a loser move?

I'm also in agreement with paying a higher premium on my auto insurance because of speeding tickets

iow, I'm honest and understand how the system works, even if I don't agree with all of it

"Ive got 392 figured out. He posts the stupidest, most non-sensical thing he can think of, gets a rise out of the person he is debating with, then posts the next stupidest thing he can come up with to further skew the argument, preventing any rationale discourse"

like I said about benz,

I challenge anyone (open-minded towards drugs,) to [re-]read the whole thread and come to that conclusion



Quote :
"he is now advocating cocaine use as being no big deal and 'recreational.'"

when used responsibly, yes, it is

(as for myself, I don't like the high very much, so I don't do it but once every year or so)



Quote :
"Another perfect example of why weed will never be legalized...douches like this guy will just take the next 'step' in their drug use and claim it is harmless, much like they do now with weed."

nice slippery slope there....

and i'm sure you put that on your health insurance app. btw, that's falsification of information, and if they were to do a tox screen on you if you came to the hospital, and you were positive, you'd lose any reimbursement for the visit and would be bankrupt in about 10 seconds

yeah you'll have a lot better chance of getting a job if you're an honest criminal and if you come right out and admit the illegal drugs you regularly ingest

Quote :

yeah, why not?

are you agreeing with me?

didn't you see my above post saying that you should disclose that kind of information before being tested?

or are you even reading the thread?

quite obviously to anyone reading this thread, you are the one missing the obvious

it's the same reason you use to justify writing about your drug use in your job apps. the same reason why you smoke weed and eat crack. no one will understand you man, just face it

"it's the same reason you use to justify writing about your drug use in your job apps"

writing about drug use in a job application (or speaking about it at a job interview,)

is a voluntary act of disclosure that honest and responsible people may make

while a mandatory drug test is an act of compelled force to reveal private information about one's body chemistry

that the individual subject to testing is perfectly capable of disclosing in the first place

thereby not needing testing

thereby making the testing an untrusting act of investigative suspicion of actual guilt

very different

you are dumb

except they can only give you tests that you authorize. and the insurance company isn't privvy to the results of the test due to doctor patient confidentiality, they can only see that you had the test. i smoke pot sometimes and i told my doctor about it. its a fucking health thing. the doctor isn't going to turn you in for using drugs when all they do is hand out drugs

So, if you were to openly disclose drug use at an interview or on a job application, and you were denied the job on that basis, is that legitimate, or discriminatory?

Some of the logic in this thread baffles me.


Being honest on a job application will not help you at all unless you are trying to get a job with the Salvation Army or something. The rest of the business world wants employees who either do not have problems or do not bring their problems to work.

Listing how you casually smoke pot but think they should not worry about it because you are responsible is not going to help you get a job anywhere. Job applications are places to only list your best qualities and act ridiculously enthusiastic about working. Not a place to list what you do in your personal time.

Haven't read the whole thread, but I contend that industry comes into play.

I'm in the middle of the road as far as dividing personal life from work. But where I work, I fully support an even-less-than-zero tolerance policy. To work at a nuclear power plant you've got to be comfortable with a complete grilling of and invasion into your personal life upon hiring. And I'm fine with that.

both

it's legit because the company asked, and the question was voluntarily answered

(or the information was voluntarily disclosed without being asked)

but it's discriminatory (not illegally) in the sense that they are discriminating

you know? like the definition of the word "discriminate"

what wouldn't be legit is if they forced you to answer the question, should you not want to

but we're assuming that the applicant is honest, and preempts any question or test by voluntary disclosure

and besides, unless the employer volunteered the information, you wouldn't know why you were denied the job



Quote :
"Being honest on a job application will not help you at all unless you are trying to get a job with the Salvation Army or something."

I never said it would be helpful in general, just the "right thing to do" morally

I mean, only a dumbass would think it wouldn't hurt their "chances" of employment in most large companies



Quote :
"The rest of the business world wants employees who....do not have problems"

we're assuming the drug use is responsible, and therefore not a problem. remember?



Quote :
"Listing how you casually smoke pot but think[ing] they should not worry about it because you are responsible is not going to help you get a job anywhere."

again, I never said it would

it just makes you an open and honest person who refuses to act like you're doing anything wrong, cause you aren't

gun use .. responsible

vehicle use .. responsible

alcohol .. responsible

fireworks .. responsible



nice, try bigot

but guess what, you can use [illegal] drugs responsibly

if your loser [ex-]friends couldn't, that just means they're not responsible

get a clue

Out of curiousity, if you do pass the drug test, what are you going to do?

Option 1: Woot, I can smoke all I want because they won't draw my name again

Option 2: Woot, I can smoke all I want because I beat the test

Option 3: Perhaps its time for me to drop a habit that I should have dropped in college.
