Those in favor of this show their prejudice mindset on the matter of welfare recipients in general.

It is sad that there are so many prejudice folks

There is no valid legitimate unprejudice reason to test welfare recipients for drugs.

There are no more drug users in welfare population than in any other population ie making it a prejudice belief.

I am in no way "prejudice" against welfare recipients.

The welfare system needs to be severely overhauled. There is a difference between those who cannot help themselves and those who will not help themselves. Those who cannot help themselves are bed ridden or through no fault of their own confined to a wheel chair, need a machine to help them communicate and these people I have no heartburn helping. People who will not help themselves feel entitled to money, food on the table and a roof over their head because they have babies to feed. A lot of people have babies to feed and they still work, most welfare recipients like my neighbor are leeches. Because you have kids does not mean you should be supported, quit having kids and take care of yourself. People who support the idea of welfare without drug testing are idiots...including the activist judge who has a perverted view of justice.

Just like everyone who agrees with the tea part supports racism, right?





Its sad when prejudice is assumed, because its convenient for your worldview.



You are so open minded!



Hey - you accused me of making assumptions earlier. I do - completely reasonable ones.

But come on now! State my assumptions! And quote me - in full- to provide evidence.

Or do you just like throwing around unjustified accusations?

It completely doesn't matter whether or not welfare users are more or less likely to do drugs, precisely because we are not making prejudiced assumptions in our reasoning.

You are probably right that people wacked out on drugs can't fill out the papers anyway.

The entitlement attitude is an illness in its own right.

In california, being 'whacked out on drugs' is part of some peoples' strategy for qualifying for the so-called 'crazy check'.

Oh, but you disagree with Dragoness' position.

Therefore, apparently, you are prejudiced.

Entitlement is actually a criminal mentality that leads to criminal acts.

It has absolutely nothing to do with welfare and being poor.

Then there is no need to drug test for welfare, it will save lots of money and not make a whole lot of people perpetrators of discrimination.

I am so glad you worked that out on your own.

It is a sick mentality to demonize the poor.

So laws like this show how sick our society can be.

Especially when they are ignorant of how welfare works and then make judgements of the people on it from their ignorance.

Except it doesn't work.

Shows that they don't know how to do it properly.

entitlement is one of those words that has been given a bad rap

we actually ARE entitled to many things,,such as certain rights, and certain reciprocation on investments,,,

The major reason that drug abuse is so hard to stop in this country is because of our personal freedoms.

We have the right to kill ourselves if we so want to. Bad drugs, bad food, bad cigs, bad alcohol, parachuting, race car driving, etc...

Just because a person happens to be poor does not make them more likely to kill themselves in one of these manners, believe it or not.

But if we can start limiting them from doing it then we need to be able to limit all from doing it.

So I will agree that if welfare recipients who have given no signs of being a druggie have to submit to drug testing then so should everyone. Maybe we should do it weekly just to be sure and tell your boss you don't know when you will have to go but that it is requirement to live here in these United States. Of course, he should know already because his color is blue.

Usually when a person applies for welfare they have exhausted all other means to supporting themselves. So in a way it is mandatory for their families survival.

It is a sad state that we have to then accuse them of being a drug user on top of their plight.

Believe you me when I worked for the department, druggies couldn't keep up with what we required of them and they usually lost their kids so they weren't on welfare for very long if at all most couldn't do what we required them to do before they got their first check.

You are so fond of these sweeping dismissals.

It absolutely does work - sometimes.

It has nothing to do with being more likely to do anything. It has to do with not giving them money to feed the habit if they are doing it. Lets see... pee in a cup and get free money or don't pee in a cup and don't get free money. Is it a hard choice? Nope.
