Million$ for high school drug testing, huh huh what?
I missed the part of the State of the Union where Bush mentioned he was going to spend millions of taxpayer money to drug test high school students and then I missed the debate about it here and the rancor over it that engulfed the internet.
Surely no one thinks this is a good idea, right? Do we really want a government running biological tests on our kids to check up on their behavior? What happens if someone refuses? Forced urination? Blood tests? Suspension or expulsion? Is it a school or government's role, much less job, to do this kind of thing? If parents want it done, they can do it themselves.
For fuck's sake, this had better not go into effect. People get all bent about school uniforms but don't even peep at something like this?

where to news? don't let me get in your way, by any stretch .. I'm just wondering where you're going to go that's any better than where you are. that is unless of course you're an e popping high school senior over there in the hills of beverly .. in which case you could probably just ask your parents to dip into your trust fund and ship you to some third world country to sleep with under aged prositutes when 'they' come to your school to do the testing.

I don't understand what anyone else in this thread is saying. Maybe we need drug testing here at the Asylum?

let me see if I can give you a run down, nute
first you posted about the current administration in the US wanting to do drug testing in our highschools.. you asked a couple of questions and kicked the thread off proper.
then badnews stated that he wanted to get the hell out in a hurry .. I would imagine this is because he doesn't like the idea of highschool students being drug tested
which brings us to my post where I asked badnews where he would go and poked fun at the idea that he may be in highschool and that's why he wanted to run away.
then you posted again saying that things weren't clear to you
which brings us up to this post in the thread where I walk you through all that's happened so far.
are we all on the same page now?

Back to the topic, though. I'm still not over the stollen presidency. The way I see it the guy's gonna spend the money he wants on what he wants. Nothing's gonna change until he's out of office. No surprises.

Best start shouting about the illegitimacy of his presidency while you can because after he wins re-election, there won't be any room for that any more.

I would just like to state that BadNews's sig is 5 lines and not just 3. Does this mean the rules have been uplifted? Or are the admins just too busy wanking off to kiddie porn that this has slipped through their radar? Or maybe, maybe, the admins are so appalled at the posts of BadNews that they cannot even tolerate viewing anything written by him and therefore have missed this crucial piece of forum violation!
Oh, yeah, topic. As Lewis Black once said, "Democrats have no good ideas, and Republicans have only bad ideas." Bush has lots of bad ideas. Lots.

You know, that's actually an interesting point. Why are we not spending the money on prevention and education instead of playing big brother? Let's face it, some people will go that route no matter what we do. What is wrong with our current trend if all I have heard is true? Drug and alcohol use in teens is down significantly since the 80s. I do not know what else they could realistically ask for.

What is "millions" of dollars? 1.1? 2?
What kind of money are we talking about?

Ok so if drug testing high school students is suppose to stop teens from doing drugs then explain why there are so many parole violations cuz of failed drug tests in our judical system?

Obviously this will halt all lawbreaking and should even decrease teen pregnancies. Hail Bush!

If parents would pay more attention to their kids and disipline them the way that kids should be disiplined, the problems with drugs might not be so bad. I agree, if parents are so concered about their children and drugs, they should waste their money and not the tax payers money. If a law does go into effect then that means the parents voted it in, right?

I can't believe they are wasting all that money on early detection efforts. That money'd be much better spent on labor camps for drug offenders.

god damn. yup...in a time where our president defines himself as a 'war president' and because he has some dellusion in which he is some kind of american paragon leading america through times of crisis, we should all stomach a huge national defecit, a slow economy, and more military related expenditures. and at the same time we can tack on federal appropriations to test our kids to see if they are on 'THE REEFER'
yup, this coming from our ex-cokehead president who partied with hunter s thompson. ok. im REALLY following this logic. sarcasm intended. i mean we have a lot more important shit that we could spend millions on, like perhaps fixing our inadequate public education system, but nah. lets spend money so that schools can now force all of our kids to piss into cups. ok.
