Parental leave in the US.

In US, the family leave act will allow you to take up to 1 year off unpaid.

Isn't that just called unemployment?

[AAAAAAAAH!]

If you're unemployed you receive unemployment benefits.

According to our government, if you work for at least 5 hours per month, you're not unemployed

In Russia the difference is that it counts towards your employment history and you cannot be fired.

The company has to take you back at your old job and pay if you come back within the time limit.

BTW in Zagreb I was looking for a place to buy a tram ticket.
I ask a guy and he tells me, nah, just go in and say you're a tourist, they won't do anything to you

BTW, what was the name of that beautiful cathedral in the upper hill of that grand central plaza? (if you know)

Exactly - I don't live there either, so I cannot be bothered to buy it once a year when I don't drive in town center, they did not make it easy to buy either...

Cathedral is... suprise suprise, Zagrebacka Katedrala the official name is "Katedrala Uznesenja Blažene Djevice Marije i svetih Stjepana i Ladislava"... those last two are Hungarians no less, had to be rebuilt after an earthquake so is in current shape since 1906.

Is not allowed to drive as it is expected that the pot is covering the eyes. If you can see, than you are really a pothat, not pothead.

Existing laws regarding DUI's and DWI's still apply. If you do it, you'll get punished. I don't know if casual MJ use makes someone a "pothead" any more than a social drinker is an "alcoholic". And personally, I've only once driven stoned... and that was over 15 years ago... and was unavoidable at the time.

Pot is also not alcohol. You could compare ten people who are stoned with ten drunk people... putting them through a driver's test on a closed course. The drunks won't be able to do it. The stoners will.

And if you compared the stoners with average sober drivers, I suspect reaction time (and overall control of the faculties) would still be within the norm.

Marijuana is different than alcohol. It affects the body in different ways. For people familiar with its affects, pot generally does not cause the kind of physical impairment as alcohol.

But as I said, standards exist for prosecuting DUI's/DWI's. So it's a non-issue... except for pot-shamers looking to stand up on their soap box and preach about thing they know absolutely nothing about. But how would this be any different from any other subject that gets discussed on these forums?

Also, calling everyone who smokes weed a "substance abuser"? Well onodera, go learn what the word "abuse" means... before promptly going to fuck yourself.

Dumbasses will always be dumbasses. Sadly, we can't change that.

Dude, chopping something up into tiny pieces and burning it definitely qualifies as abuse, at least!

Hard to believe it has been 23 years since this was released... time flies, still sounds as good as ever though.
