Eugenics --- I believe quite a great deal is hereditary ! I`m a follower of eugenics

It's like I said...most of the people that cite racism are usually the racists...

can you imagine what the (liberal) media would say if a white candidate did something similar to this?:
snopes.com: African Americans for Obama

IMO...policies like ' Affirmative Action' are nothing but reverse discrimination or racism

FYI no such thing as 'reverse discrimination' it's simply discrimination

Yep the tides have turned now white males are held to higher standards and given NO CHANCES where as every other group is given many "Easy Alternatives" to get a leg up under Affirmative Action laws.

Edited in there are several prominent people speaking out against A.A. They can be found on cnn or several other news outlets. note half of them benefited due to A.A. in their careers & spoke out how the system has corrupted those it was meant to help & those same people are no longer being discriminated against.

It's a catch phrase generally used to describe particular scenarios...particularly agendas that are meant to eliminate discrimination but in themselves are discriminatory...

As far as 'AA' goes...I see it more of a (reverse) racist policy than one that discriminates...the only thing it discriminates is merit (qualifications)....it is biased towards minorities (which IMO is racist)

Affirmative Action is nothing more than (reverse?) discrimination. If all people are created equal, then they should be treated equally.

I was talking to the HR Director of a very large company the other day and a subject somewhat on this line came up during our lunch. I made a comment about all the unemployed and underemployed people in our area. He said that he wasn't going to get in a discussion about how some unemployed didn't want to work because they could negatively affect their government assistance, but he did say that one of the biggest reasons there were so many unemployed younger people was that they couldn't pass a drug test. When I asked how pervasive that problem was, he told me that his company and two other large companies in the area had recently started requiring the temp agencies to drug test all the people they sent to them and immediately started running short on temporary workers. Then several of the temps that passed the test and were sent to them were a little shady on their legal work status, which made the problem even worse.
When I was still in the service, it seemed that we always had about a 10-17% failure rate on drug tests, not it appears that it's much worse.

I've heard numbers of 30%, pretty consistently. Most are now testing with hair samples, that will detect usage going back 1 year. I think the newer, more accurate testing has increased the failure rates. It is pretty hard to fake the hair sample test. Some jobs require random pee tests, unanounced. Really, a lot of the children of the 60's and 70's would flunk these tests. Another example of technology changing lives....

The story was on the news today.

Not doubting the story. I am from Indiana so thought it would be humorous to call all Hoosiers tough.
