The Blue Board

Oh yea I love NO, would never live anywhere else

Yeah that worked out so well in Florida? What with the whole 2% failing the drug test thing? That ended up costing the state of Florida tens of thousands of dollars because of rather dim people believing in the myth that poor people use drugs more than middle class or even rich ones.

I guess since they arent on drugs, we have to find some other way to hate on them that cant be proven. I know, we will say they are all driving nice cars and have Iphones. No way to prove that right or wrong, and it lets us all still sit there smugly and claim that those jerks are abusing the system.

I haven't seen it that often in upstate ny, but the family I referred to itt is good people... Just stupid.... So I can def see bad people taking advantage of it rather easily

Look you read how I feel about this .
what makes this any more important than any other young person that gets shot and killed in O-Town ?

has nothing to do with being lazy. Military is not for everyone. I've commented a few times to you in other threads that I appreciate your service, something I'm too chickenshit to do.

When I was 18, I worked two jobs to pay bills. Even though I worked two jobs I was still lazy. I worked at a paint store and delivered pizza at nights.

Now I have my own company and have 14 people that work for me. I'm contributing to society and the economy in a different way.

Military is a great option for people but it's not for everyone and does not mean in every case that people are lazy b/c they don't want to enlist in the military.

Depends on what part of NY you're in. Some areas are dirt poor and the people use it correctly, but in others a lot of scumbags use it so they can buy their cigs and drugs. I know a lot of people use it for good, one of my best friends' uses it, but there a also a lot of people that abuse it.

No, i am gonna drug test someone because they are receiving money from the government. I get to make the regulations, you do not get a say so. Not because the poor use more drugs than any other class. Grow a brain and try and realize it isn't discrimination. Stop reaching

Exactly, and people wanna bring in discrimination crap, give me a break. That has nothing to do with this, if you want the money, then follow the guidelines, we shouldn't just hand it to you no questions asked.

You obviously have live area all your life, because i can assure you the majority of people on welfare in my area, at least more than 2% are doing some sort of illegal substance. And if not as many people were on welfare as they shouldn't be in the first place, then there would be money to spend to have the drug tests done!

You are a complete tool, and have been for your one month on here. Hopefully you get banned, I have not seen you be anything but argumentative in nearly any thread.

Ah okay...so we gotta take your word for it, rather than the actual results from the Florida experiment. You know, because YOU have this vast experience with welfare people being on drugs.

So what are the reasons for giving these drug tests to welfare recipients? Why do it? The welfare recipients ARENT on drugs in Florida.....but you still, for your own petty reasons, put them in this category where they must be drug tested. So why? It costs more money to do so, and is accomplishing nothing. You have not given a single reason............can you get past your initial petty prejudices and explain why drug testing is a good thing?

And I hope you get banned. So there.

Once again, you CANNOT buy any hot foods on food stamps, even in Louisiana.

"Households CANNOT use SNAP benefits to buy:
Beer, wine, liquor, cigarettes or tobacco;
Any nonfood items, such as:
pet foods;
soaps, paper products; and
household supplies.
Vitamins and medicines;
Food that will be eaten in the store;
Hot foods."

And you are merely speculating that the nice cars belong to the people owning food stamps, it would be like me seeing a Ferrari outside a gas station and when I walk in I see a homeless person buying some gum and then assuming that the homeless person owns the Ferrari, nevermind that I never see him getting in the car or not.

What are your ACTUAL examples?

Are you hanging out in crack dens of welfare recipients?

Why is your very limited, very biased personal experience so much more valuable than actual real world examples of this drug testing welfare recipients costing the state of Florida tens of thousands of dollars, because everyone is passing the tests?
