Drug Test? Job Application

Royboy39 · 07-06-2008, 20:20

Sportsmen and Women are being tested for illicit drugs.
Would anyone object to a drug test after making a job application?
If anyone refuses..No job.
The Services conduct drug tests....anyone found to be taking drugs...Out.
Do you consider that it would be an attack on your civil liberties if as a student or employee you were subjected to a random drug test?

Nope I wouldn't mind ..... I have nothing to hide, so wouldn't mind proving myself to them.

if its illegal substances personally would not have a problem, might have objected in the 60s.

Drug users more than likely

The nearest I got to a drug in the 60's was 'Palladrin' to prevent Malaria.

strikes me though,if that was the case, they would probably mug or burgle you to get the money.

It would look well on the form from the dole...'Cant employ this person...tested positive on a drugs test'..........Stop Benefits.

Got to start somewhere...........are we frightened of these bums?

Not too sure I like it to be truthful. Is it only illegal drugs that show up on these tests, or do they test generally for medication?

How would they get their fix then??

As Cashman has said, mug someone to get it

There are enough that already do this

The government reckon that they give each person enough to live on, I can't see them taking that money off them, therefore making them homeless and pennyless

As nice an idea as it would be to think that if you take away their money, they will want to work and provide for themselves, this more than likely wouldn't happen and they would find other ways to "fund" their habits, to feed and live

From my understanding...as a layman...as we all are...I dont think the birth pill would light any beacons but Aspirin would, steroids would...I am of the opinion that general medication would be discounted.
Illicit substances should certainly not be discounted.

What do we do then...Throw the towel in?

Isn't that what they do anyway?

What would you like them to do?
