I didn't read many of the books mentioned in school. Or I just don't remember reading them. (I don't actually remember a whole lot from that time :confused: )

I do recall reading Of Mice and Men, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Fahrenheit 451. Generally we read books then watched the movie after.

My Senior literature class was an advanced class, but we did things like watch Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Dances With Wolves. We also took a field trip to the museum.

My school required a certain number of literature credits, and we were free to choose the classes we wanted. It was pretty cool, on the one hand, as I took World Mythology as my Sophomore lit credit. On the other hand, I did miss out on a lot of the 'classics' that were taught in the standard classes.
 
Also, crossbows are THE premier ranged weapon, and I don't like the way they're portrayed in fiction as low- powered, clunky things you should trade out for an energy want or assault rifle ASAP.
 
I think To Kill a Mockingbird was another of the books. The Pigman was the only book I actually read, though. I was grounded and it was pretty good.
 
I remember reading lots of Shakespeare, Animal Farm & Lord Of The Flies.

I loved Lord Of The Flies!

eta: at school, I mean.
 
Hippos should not smoke marijuana unless it is laced with lechuga and orange.
Ok? Lol.
I believe drug testing is bad for non illegal drug users, too. I wouldn't want someone staring at my junk unless they were sleeping with me. I always felt awkward about pissing in a cup for someone. I never did it. I remember being asked to when I got a physical as a kid, but I said I didn't have to pee... I lied.
 
When I was in the Army, I once had to go to ADAPCP (Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Program) building and donate some fresh urine. I got to stand on these red foot prints that face perpendicular to the urinal and wiz in a cup, with the dude standing directly in front of me.

Wait, they watch you when you have to provide a urine sample for the doctors? (I know they do for drug testing, I'm talking healthcare wise. )
 
I have actually heard from other people that they watch you as otherwise you could switch the samples. Sounds kind of perverted to me. People should just GTFO other peoples business if they go to so much trouble to see others in the toilet.

I'm guessing not but it made me feel uncomfortable for some reason :shrug:
Not everyone watches you if it's for a job, either. I'm thinking they don't watch if you're only making 8 dollars an hour. Minimum wage is 7.50 here, too. >_>
My mom doesn't even get drug tested, and she makes a lot more than 8 dollars an hour. Though, she doesn't smoke pot. Said she didn't like it. :p
 
My husband has to be drug tested at work but they definitely aren't allowed to watch him give a sample.:eek:
 
Kickstarter and Fund Me programs need to have strict guidelines and rules. The majority of them are just people begging for money for things they can really afford themselves, but they just don't want to spend their own money.

I have never heard of any job (high paying or low paying) that requires someone to watch you urinate for drug testing.
