    I have taken a drug tests to be hired but after that I have never been selected randomly, I work with a guy who has had to go 3 times in less than 2 years.

    Hollywood is fucked up. Why anyone would allow their children to be in that godawful cesspool is beyond me.

    I've never known anybody that had to do that except cops. It's utter fucking bullshit and an invasion of privacy.

    Somehow they replaced integrity with greed? It's not the only place where that happens (i.e. Wall Street) but the whole town sounds fucked.

    I took a test to get my current job but they don't do random tests afterwards here.

    Yea, we know, fuck the po po. How are random drug tests an invasion of privacy? When you work somewhere, you agree to work sober. Not working sober invalidates the contract made with the employer. I don't understand why people think its OK to show up high but not OK to show up drunk. Just show up sober dammit.

    The problem is that drugs stay in your system much longer than booze. I don't see it as an invasion of privacy necessarily, because you signed up for the job. They are pretty useless to see if someone is sober at work though.

    Stage parents weird me the fuck out. Whether it's acting or sports or academia. Whatever. There are a couple of parents I have to deal with on my son's baseball team who...they're willing to put their kid under immense stress and strain on his body to ride him into the big leagues. Except...that's not realistic. They are willing to have their kid face surgery before he's 20 to get him a scholarship. It's all...very intense.


    Perhaps a shift in drug testing toward something like alcohol ... however colorado did it to say "yeah, weed's in your system but that doesn't mean you're still high" type thing...

    Where did I say anything about being fucked up AT work? Or the police?

    Who's talking about working drunk or high? A drug test doesn't tell you if a person is currently high, it tells you if they've had any substance for a period of up to six weeks. Why should any workplace outside law enforcement be concerned about what their employees do in their spare time-- away from work-- in their own private lives? A person should be free to any vice. You work well, you keep your job. You fuck up you lose your job. A workplace should be concerned about your job performance and what you choose to do with your life is none of their business.

    Any retard knows if somebody works WHILE drunk or high they should be written up or canned. That's common sense .

    Companies chose to follow federal law, therefore any weed in your system, no matter how long its been since you last used it, its a violation of the employment contract. At this point, its more like they know he's been showing up high, so this is a way just to get him out the door. If they drug test everyone, quite a few people would fail, but those people show up sober, so they're not worried about them.

    That's my only issue with it, I would be a casual pot user if it was legal in my state (Fuck Pope) but I would still be fired from my job if I smoked a bowl Saturday night and then tested positive for weed on Monday.

    There is alot of not so outlandish rumors about the undercurrents of pedophilia in Hollywood. Its easy to discredit him as a whackjob, but Corey Feldman had a comment about what a problem it was in Hollywood that rings more and more true when stuff like this comes out. That and the whole Gay Mafia being a very real thing.

    I can only guess that having Oxycotin in your blood is perfectly acceptable. It has the letter"x" in its name so it's medicine.

    If the Gay Mafia doesn't like your restaurant, you're closed a month later. Godmother Ellen has spoken.

    Yeah painkillers are no big deal as long as you have an active prescription on file.

    If you show up ripped on oxy that would be an issue. It no way is showing up blasted on pain meds different than showing up high. If you're employers find out you're abusing a prescription you can still be fired. Abuse of any drug is reason to be fired.

    - the actress that played the youngest daughter in Mrs. Doubtfire


    Apparently some child actors grow up to be alright besides the weird pedo stuff. She mentioned being very weirded out by seeing the websites with her underage head photoshopped on to hardcore porn or websites devoted to her feet. Fame is a weird thing.

    True but wouldn't it be harder to prove a person is abusing something when it was legally obtained, versus something that was illegal to begin with?

    That, plus the law stipulates certain drugs are morally acceptable provided they're bought in a store. Ambien, Oxycotin, Apaxil, etc. take your pick, downers kill more people than ANY drug except cigarettes and alcohol.
