Oh my.
The bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive, after a few months of keeping his hot temper under control, is back to being himself.

They'll have to ****ing shoot me first.

Good luck, boys. Better bring a cannon.
It's a big bonfire on Skins's island.

78. It's interesting how many people speak against this Big Brother crap...
But in the next breath call for bans and confiscation of all civilian firearms. And the rationales for it are the same as every other kind of police state thuggery: seizing guns will stop Terraists and Criminals and keep The Children safe. Personally, I would rather see a hundred terrorist pedophiles cross the border and commit shooting sprees than allow the creation of a police state. It's a lot easier to fight or escape a terrorist pedophile than it is to go up against the Thought Police.

5. My employer asked us for blood and urine
The prize was reduced health insurance premiums. Either give them body fluids or pay $10 a month for health insurance that has been free.
It was supposedly a wellness check.
I am paying the $10 a month.

30. It probably is a wellness check but expect a drug screen to be part of the urine test.
I'd resist because my disease shows up on both a blood cell test and on a chemistry test as abnormal values that say something's not quite right and I'm not as healthy as I look.

29. Oh the vast majority were falling all over each other to give the body fluids
I work for a school district and they scheduled these "wellness checks" in a high school gym. As if giving body fluids wasn't offensive enough, you got to go to a gym and do it along with all the other willing donors!!
Another alternative was to have your doctor send a letter certifying that you are in good health. But most people went to the gym for the wellness check. The custodian at my school called to schedule his appointment and they said "Ok, be here at 11:37 am". So he said that sounded too much like some kind of military drill and he wasn't going. So he is paying the $10 too. But at my school, we are the only two who refused to go along with it.
Teachers almost always cave to authoritarian shit.

31. A free hemogram and CMP are a good deal for most folks who have lab copays, ordinarily.
It's always a good thing to keep your eyes on possible and common problems like anemia, electrolyte deficiencies, and less common ones like liver and kidney problems that will need to be followed up.

69. they aren't collecting them from private citizens...but rather from people who have been arrested and had mug shots/fingerprints. they're just adding another layer to the booking process. until/unless you get arrested & processed, you won't have to face it.

17. Yup. And, of course, "if you don't have anything to HIDE, why worry?"
And you're right; they're just protectin' us from them turrists.
But you know, **you and I** have to start worrying right now, don't we? After all, we both have "red" in our names, so they'll be REAL interested in us...commies are still a menace, don't you know.
Two things I get out of watching this primitive bonfire.
Number one, if the president were anybody but George Bush, all this would be okay with the primitives.
Number two, the bird-smacking stoned red-faced primitive has confronted a "speed bump" in his plans to buy a house in New Hampshire, and is all out of sorts because of it.

Strange. Does all forms of mental illness show up on blood cell tests and chemistry tests or just the mental illness of moonbatism?

Once again some insight into thier obsession with free all encompassing health care.
I would dare say that a vast majority of the primitives have minor to major physical problems brought about by the lifestyle choices they make (drugs) and clearly wish to hide them from their employers.

Does this mean lots of dead hippies someday? I may be ok with getting a scan if it means the DUmmies will baricade themselves in the house against law enforcement and go out like Thelma and Louise over the cliff running from the scanning machines. :lmao:
ON a serious note, I find it amusing that they fear having a scan of their hands or eyeballs, yet they have no issues with the government knowing intimate details about their health history via nationalized healthcare. Fools.

Hey! They don't call him "The toughest SOB in the valley for nothing" God what a blowhard Redbone is :whatever: He'd piss his pants if agents came a knockin! :-)

They wanted to take blood from TominTib but there wasn't a needle strong enough to pierce his steel-like skin. :rotf:
