Fuzz Posted January 19, 2014 Posted January 19, 2014 https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-01-19/obama-says-racial-animus-may-soften-support-new-yorker-reports.htmlPresident Barack Obama said that racial tensions may have softened his popularity among white voters within the last two years, according to a story posted on the New Yorker magazine’s website today. "There’s no doubt that there’s some folks who just really dislike me because they don’t like the idea of a black president,” Obama said in the article by David Remnick, appearing in the magazine’s Jan. 27 edition. So he's been president for 5 years and just now in the last two years people have figured out he's black and his approval rating is starting to slip because of that? Some people just can't take a hint.

So once again, the President makes remarks but it doesn't turn into action. If he, as the Commander in Chief, truly believes that alcohol and marijuana are on the same level when it comes to the dangers of the substance (I happen to agree) then why doesn't he stop testing for weed during piss tests?? They don't check to see if I was wasted drunk the weekend before, so why are they screening for something the head boss thinks is no worse than what is allowed? I'm not saying you don't bust people for driving while stoned, etc...but then stop trying to catch people with it in their system. It's in violation of the UCMJ/law to come to work drunk, so just bust people accordingly.

panchbarnes Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 (edited) So once again, the President makes remarks but it doesn't turn into action. Be careful, his recent track record is pretty good. Given his comment and the "success" in WA and CO, I wouldn't be surprised if the feds legalize pot in a year or two. Edited January 20, 2014 by PanchBarnes

Also, things can be illegal in the military and not outside (Article 88, conduct unbecoming, etc).
HeloDude Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 Also, things can be illegal in the military and not outside (Article 88, conduct unbecoming, etc). You missed the entire point of my post. The President is in command of our military. He can easily tell his Generals to stop doing testing for marijuana, regardless if it is legal or illegal to smoke it. He has now said he doesn't think it's any worse than alcohol, which is perfectly fine for me to drink at night and on the weekend. So why are they still going out of their way to 'catch' people who are not coming to work under the influence? Nobody is talking about allowing people to come to work high or drunk, there are already processes to investigate/punish folks for that violation. But if an airman of age got drunk 2 weekends ago, why is that any worse then getting high 2 weekends ago when the President (again, the boss) says it's the same thing?
TreeA10 Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 If we have 12 hours from bottle to throttle, what would be the time from joint to jet?
SurelySerious Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 We have a decently good idea how long it takes the body to process alcohol and fairly objective ways to measure how much is in your system, both to set an objective limit and asses your state if you're suspected of not following the rules. Can the same be said for marijuana?

Can the same be said for marijuana? I am not overly familiar (and haven't researched in detail) the timely effects of using marijuana, so I don't know. I will guess that if someone smokes a joint on Friday night, that they're anatomically fine to fly on Monday, but again, that's just a guess. I have You guys are still missing my point though--the leader of the military said that it's no more dangerous than another substance (alcohol) which we're allowed to consume on our free time as long as we're not coming to work still under the influence of the substance (ie 12 hrs, etc). So why then is our military randomly searching folks to determine if you smoked a joint 2 weeks ago (I'm assuming the mind altering affects have worn off by then) if the leader of the military thinks it's no different then what we don't get randomly tested for (alcohol)?

HeloDude Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 Baltimore has one of the highest murder rates in the country, as well as overall crime rate...but I agree, focusing on charging $.10 per grocery paper/plastic bag is an important thing to do. Being that I don't ever plan on purchasing groceries in Baltimore as long as I live, hell, why not make is $1 a bag? $10 a bag? If they want people to stop using new ones, then the sky's the limit! https://articles.baltimoresun.com/2014-01-21/news/bs-md-ci-bag-fee-20140121_1_american-progressive-bag-alliance-bag-fee-plastic-bag-usage
BitteEinBit Posted January 22, 2014 Posted January 22, 2014 No idea, but I'm sure there are two states is a service academy in CO is a Missile Squadron in Montana that could drum up some test groups. FIFY FTFIFY
Breckey Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 It was pretty much the whole Missile Group (we're like Switzerland over here).

busdriver Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 Baltimore has one of the highest murder rates in the country, as well as overall crime rate.. The fact that my family that works law enforcement in Maryland has basically told me that the inner harbor isn't really safe anymore is telling.. There used to be places (well a few) that were cool, and some places that were on the up turn. I'm thinking that it sounds like the whole place is about to get nasty, kinda like an insurgency the outcome of that outburst of violence will determine whether Baltimore takes a dive into Detroit land or ends up looking good. A shame, I really like Fell's Point and Federal Hill. 1
M2 Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 OK, which one of you shops at TJ Maxx?!? Air Force officer who tackled robber in video says he just reacted
Spoo Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 That truly is the sad, WTF part of the story. At least he tried to make an excuse, "he was waiting for his wife on a bench outside a dressing room at T.J. Maxx".

At least he tried to make an excuse, "he was waiting for his wife on a bench outside a dressing room at T.J. Maxx". But can you really flip a guy shit for waiting outside the dressing room when he passes the time tackling robbers? That takes the situation and flips it. Bonus - the store help couldn't wait to tell wife the story. If he didn't get some later that night, there is no justice. "I though he might hurt you babe and I just snapped.." Cue 1970s funk music. 2

A shame, I really like Fell's Point and Federal Hill. Maryland Shooter Identified: And the liberal media is bummed that this didn't fit the narrative they'd rather report: - A minority - Used a shotgun (Joe Biden's favorite) and not an AR-15 - Doesn't appear to be associated with the evil Tea Party - In a State like Maryland with some of the strictest gun control laws - Shooting occurred in a 'gun free zone' mall I know we were discussing Baltimore earlier, but since I despise Maryland, I thought I would post this as well. 2 1
