To Protect the Innocent

[Al B. Sure!]

Thoth:

I don't know any job that sees a drunk employee and just reacts with an old "Had a bit too much to drink, eh, buddy?"

I've dealt with alcoholic employees who would get drunk at a bar on their breaks and bring alcohol and drink it on the job (and the stupid union shop stewards who refused to admit that they smelt the strong stench of alcohol on their breaths, the slurred speech, and the shambling walking). It's not good and it's not something that should be tolerated.

Unfortunately, it is legal so I'm afraid the rights of the company to control employment aren't as clear as with illegal substances.

I've worked in enough industrial environments that I will agree that drunk/stoned/intoxicated people are a danger, both to themselves and to their co-workers.

I will not however, agree that it is a company's right to test for drugs without cause, which is what was being claimed.

[SlowwHand]

They don't want any of their employees coming in to work high. Nothing wrong with that. Customers generally don't like it.

Except the problem is that drug tests are basically worthless, unless you're dealing with an addict.
Anyone that does coke, heroin or whatever can do it as recreation on Friday night and in 3 days it clears the system naturally. If you need it expedited you can be clean quicker. What you're going to catch is pot smokers, that may have smoked a month ago. Big deal. This isn't a fabrication, this is what I was told as a manager being briefed by the company administering the test, and substantiated what I had already heard.

Oh, Jesus Christ, you are getting creepier by the year.

Lancer may have gone off the deep end now.

[Lancer]

No way... I mean I don't know Lancer personally but no way... Lancer is more honorable than that.

Zkribbler, Theben and Aeson have all been to at least one Apolyton House. As far as selling women, well that just shows how low some people will go to insult others. People who use lies are not worthy of respect and can't be trusted in the least thing they say. People who would say these things also insult the innocent, the women who I've tried to help meet a foreigner. If there is any shame left to some of you now would be the time to feel it.

It is this low condition of this forum that has fallen so far that led me to start this thread about a return to simpler times, when there was honor to be found here, charity, and respect.

For those who care about Apolyton, this would be a good a time as any.

Can Lancer just kill himself so the rest of us can move on? Actually I think we have moved on. On another note I had a great dinner last night in LA when my girlfriend and I went to visit one of my friends and his wife. Just FYI.

I don't expect to live all that much longer Oerdin, if that makes you happy. But this thing about moving on...what to? Do you mean back to finding clever ways to make yet another insult? I don't see that as changed here.

What a kind thought from you. Some things here do get to me. Not the petty insults and lies, but words like this from people whom I respect. That gets me. Lies from friends, stuff like that. A stab in the back is never well received I guess.

[KrazyHorse]

Why the **** would we invent **** about your marriage cult? Other than that, you're just a harmless old coot who thinks evolution is a hoax.

The WHOLE REASON WE DISLIKE YOU is because of the **** you've pulled on this subject.

Please, regale us some more with stories about how Asian women are much less uppity than white women.

You piece of repugnant ****. Crawl back into the sewer you inhabit.

Crawl back into the sewer you inhabit.

To be fair, the compound Poly funds built for him doesn't look that terrible.

You know, I read this the first time, and I figured I'd let it pass except cracking wise about your eating.
I read it again, and I want to stomp your ass, Oerdin. I'm serious. I've had it with your mouthy ass. To say something like this is total crap. Let me help you down the road that you seem to want others to go down. You're a jerkwad. A pathetic ****ing loser.

[ZEE]

hold on let me get another beer and some snacks.


...



there we go. plox continue this exciting thrade

[KrazyHorse]

Slowwy, you little *****, Oerdin would kick your ass six ways from Sunday.

Now stop playing Internet tough guy. It's way past your bedtime.

Other than the usual AAHZisms,

I highly doubt it, and I'm not worried about you. I'll leave you to your wife.

[KrazyHorse]

a) Given how far removed you are from reality, your estimation of your own physical prowess isn't particularly surprising

b) I'd kick your ass 5 ways from Sunday

c) It's hard to take the village ****** seriously. Can you send in your big brother or something?

[Drake Tungsten]

I have first dibs on punching Sloww in the mouth.
