I know I can't beat the legend of the "crusty dildo" but I'll share my Senior year hell just the same.

So yes, he's a professional athlete.... But that doesn't make him proof that you can be fat and fit at the same time.

Rape kits are not forced on the victim. They are a voluntary procedure for collecting physical evidence after a sexual assault. This is the forcible sexual stimulation of a teenager by the local government. The teen is also being coerced into letting law enforcement take nude pictures of him (the exact "crime" that he…

Hey white folks...next time you hear about "stop snitching" and communities refuse to cooperate with police and you wonder why? Its shit like this. Now granted, we usually get the drug laws thrown at us, by they end up enforced in utterly inane, backward, and vindictive ways just like this case.

I worked in a labor and employment law group for a few years. It's very, very seldom, he said, she said. Sure, there were some bogus claims, but it's like rape: most of the cases never get reported by the victims due to fear of the harasser and fear of repercussions.

You are utterly wrong my friend.

For fuck's sake, why is everyone assuming the authors didn't control for socio economic status? They did!

Misogyny is not the result of religion; religion is just used to justify misogyny.

America is insane. Not only has that never happened to me in the UK or New Zealand, its utterly unthinkable that it ever could.

We all benefit from services provided by the government. We all contribute to the tax system, whether through income tax, capital gains tax, property tax, or sales tax.

I don't want to believe your last paragraph, but damn, these comments are terrible. It's like everyone forgets the war on drugs is racist and classist. I mean, it's not like rich white people don't use drugs, it's that they never have any consequences for doing so.

Wow. Where to start? To begin with, if you're hungry signing up for welfare benefits isn't optional. Secondly, a credit check isn't a medical test. So, if it's an invasion of privacy it certainly isn't in the same way that a drug test it. And finally, your husband is a surgeon. Testing him is in a lot of people's…

Ok. I'm getting the sense that your concept of class is not my concept of class. You say, "I've been lower-class." But this sentence makes no sense. You can't change your class status. It's not related to how much money you make. It's a definition. That's what it is. Just like race and gender.

It's pot that has a long half life and tends to show up in drug tests. They aren't very effective for finding hard drugs. If someone is so badly addicted they can't stay sober for a day or so to pass a drug test, they probably won't make it out of the interview process anyway.

Christ on a cracker, it took a long time to find a comment that made sense. I want to run through this thread shouting POVERTY IS NOT PROBABLE CAUSE.

I've only been tested for one job and it was a terrible experience. The people at the testing place treated me like I was already guilty even though it was the policy to drug test all new hires and it wasn't like they suspected me personally of being on drugs.

yes, your sole experience should dictate how a program that serves over 12 million people should operate.

I mean, is the conception that drug addicts are just swimming in wealth and that's why they're still addicted? People will chemical dependency do all kinds of insane, unhealthy, dangerous things to get your hands on the drugs. It doesn't mean you have money or resources that could be better allocated elsewhere, it…

Because people who are addicted to drugs shouldn't be able to eat, right? Really, the best thing for everyone is to deny them any and all resources that might allow them to get help and get better.

A creepy little girl will stand at the foot of your bed and kill you at midnight unless you send this to six people and then all your wishes will come true. Provided that your wishes are to be murdered by a creepy little girl at midnight.
