    Don't like me, please ignore me. I did not jump all over anyone, maybe other than "Artistguy" since he was being rude. Why bother posting this? No, I don't like them.

    Hey mods....this is an attack right? And you want to talk superior, YOU seem to think you are the police around here. YOU started attacking me over YOUR view.
  3. DaVinci
    Some think that a drug test is a good indication of how the person will perform. Studies have shown a correlation between drug use and poor employees. Plus if it did not work companies would not spend the money to do it.

    Would you please not bother me? There is no rule against what I am doing. you don't like it, don't read it. My posts carry as much weight, maybe more, than your posts. And they carry more than you bitching about mine.

    You had a guy saying he had a bomb, reaching into a bag, refusing to obey a marshal. If he had done anything differently he would be alive still. He was acting like a threat and he was delt with as a threat. Shame it happend, but he is at fault, not the cop. If I walked into a courtroom and said, "I have a gun". Then ran from the cops while reaching into my pocket. I would expect to get shot.

    Uncool, and uncalled for. Stop being an ass.
  7. DaVinci
    It was not just a joke. After he made the joke, he refused to follow police directions. He acted like he had a bomb.
  8. DaVinci
    Sorry then, it seemed that way. However, I think it must be a good way to do buisness since a company would not spend the money it does unless it worked.

    OK so why interview? I mean you could just give them the job and if they did OK then you keep them, if they suck you fire them. Fact is that there is enough correlation between drug abuse and poor employees that it became a test before you hire someone. Just like an interview, while not perfect, is a good test to decide if you hire someone. Same with credit checks. Also the legal aspect. In my company the company is legally responsable for the employees actions. And I bet that is true almost everywhere.

    Well he claimed to have a bomb. Thats not looking suspicious...That IS suspicious.

    Now you can debate all day if beer is worse than pot. But that does not really matter. If you hire an employee and he crashes your company van. 1. The kid drinks, but was not drunk. 2. The kid smokes pot and a drug test was done. Which do you think will cause your company grief? One is illegal, on is legal. Also, you have a person who does not obey laws....This can also suggest that they do not follow rules. My company has rules and I would rather have a guy that followed rules working for me than someone who does not. The company has the right. YOU have the right not to submit to it. But that does not change the companies right.
  12. DaVinci
    Nonsense. There will be enough quality canidates that will submit to them since they have nothing to hide. You are tying to make it seem that only "bad" canidates submit to drug tests....That is a position you can not back.
  13. DaVinci
    And how will you know if it will affect their job performance? Some drugs do, some don't. Some people it does, others it does not. But it has been shown that in most cases people who use drugs (or have bad credit) are worse employees than those that do not. Also for legal reasons companies have to CTA.

    Outcome does not matter. Only the event. If a soldier rushes out to save his buddy but fails and dies...Was it suddenly not brave of him to try? Again they felt they were attacking the enemy. But they fact they were willing to die to strike a blow makes them brave. Now deciding if they are "hero's" or not depends on what side you stand on. To the US they are not, but to AQ they were. Just your opinion. However, dictonary definitons say otherwise. By the very definiton they were brave. Hero's or not is debateable, but brave is not.
  15. DaVinci
    It would not. But then again a memorial to Tibits and the men who designed the Atomic weapons that were used on Japan would not fit in Hiroshima...But they do fit in at Los Alamos. "fitting" depends on where you are looking at it.
  16. DaVinci
    Nonsense. They were brave. You may not agree with them or their reasons, but that does not change the fact that they faced death for something they felt strongly about. Think about the movie "Independance Day". The father commits suicide to destroy the aliens....He is played up as a hero for dying for his children....And he would be. Those Terrorists died for what they believed in. They were in fact quite brave. Just like Kamakazi pilots were brave, or how US soilders are brave. You can't let the side they are on effect your definitions.

    And yet countries with strong gun laws still have violent criminals as well.
  18. DaVinci
    Or if Clinton was not distracted by a BJ?
  19. DaVinci
    If that were the line taken around here you would not have a board. While that is a very good argument, it never hurts to look at other angles. Maybe arming cops will cause a crook to think twice about violent crime, or it may make them more apt to use a gun themselves. Fact is nobody knows and the truth is most likely in between the two extremes. My take is that by allowing people to be armed if they wish, then they get to make the choice instead of it being made for them. This applies to police AND citizens IMO.
  20. DaVinci
    That is such a line of BS. My GF is a Doctor, so I know about medicine.
  21. DaVinci
    Well the fact that they are dead proves maybe they needed one. Nice attack on an entire population BTW
  22. DaVinci
    Uh, these two could have used one. Also since they were killed by a gun...Makes me think you already have them.
  23. DaVinci
    Burger, Gore and Clinton all said the same thing and they got the intel when they were in power.
  24. DaVinci
    I don't have a problem with the pink plate. Give them the option= Pink plate with limited driving rights, or take their license. That way they have a choice. The search. I would be ok with it if it just included only an alcohol test. The possible damage to their cars is a real threat. However when you consider this is for repeat offenders. And when you consider that for everytime a driver gets a DUI most times it is not the only times they drove, rather they are only times they were caught. So think about the amount of destruction that the Drunks could have caused.
  25. DaVinci
    Correct, but do you not think it is foolish to ignore the guys reasons why he blew up the embassy? I mean if a guy does something and he then tells me why he did it, I think that might be important enough to atleast listen to it even if I do not agree or support his reasons. Only a fool would not want to know why he was attacked.
