Evil surmising? :think:
Waitaminute here, are you saying that dopers actually had the motivation to leave their mother's basement and go out and get a job????
I can't imagine a business owner firing a bunch of
Like you saying the man is lying, im saying you smoke it, is what i think, so if you believe me having an opinion of you based on what you say or wont say, then you do the same to that man you dont know, dont you?
So, correct me if im wrong, do you smoke pot?
Tongue in cheek, escapes you.
He was being facetious with sarcasm. He doesn't think the employer is a bigot.

I haven't claimed I don't smoke it. The man made a claim that I don't believe. The thread is about him, not me.
Correct me if I'm mistaken, you don't have any experience with the substance you are making claims about? You've never smoked marijuana, right?
Then why are you bent that i think you do? If you think its evil that i think you smoke it, smoking it must be evil then right? Also if you are ashamed to admit you do, then something must be wrong with it, right?
Ive smoked it before when i was younger and before being a believer. God wants us to have a sober mind.

Me, too. When I was in tenth grade I was high most of the time. In every class I was the star pupil and received straight A grades. The sober kids couldn't keep up. It doesn't fit the idea of pothead being pushed on this thread, but I was definitely a pothead.
My creativity improved when I was high, but I suppose even high it would be boring creating Halloween decorations for a living, especially breathing all those chemicals all day. Those chemicals will hurt them more than marijuana will, so maybe losing their job was good thing.
Do you believe it's a sin to smoke marijuana? What about alcohol? What about anti-depression medication? Pain killers?
Subjective. Addicts always believe they are better and more focused when they are using something.
yes.
If using it to get high or be in a state of drunkeness, then yes.
If abused or taken when not needed or well past needed or to get high, then yes.
Barbarian notes that the high-tech industries think Colorado is a good place to hire employees, but a halloween decoration maker thought otherwise:
Maybe it's that making halloween decorations is a job more suited for the deep south, and high-tech operations are more suited to Colorado workers.
Musty again blames the employers:
Barbarian chuckles:
Maybe they aren't bigots, and just know what their needs are.
The conversation escaped you. Read it again, slowly.
Yep. You missed it. Take another look at what he wrote, and what I wrote. And then think for a minute.
Oh, wait, I forgot my Warning For The Humor-Impaired. Sorry, about that.

Not least among them is the onerous policies that city reportedly has imposed on small businesses. Which is only to be expected...liberals run it. That, combined with an increasing number of legal sorcerers reporting for work, I don't blame him one bit. He'll probably have no trouble finding responsible people to hire in S.C.
Which would explain why so many high-tech companies are based there, um?

45 full-time employess
22 pot smokers
5 quality workers
That leaves 18 bad hires by this guy that has nothing to do with pot.
I believe his pot smoker numbers are WAY to large to be true, but even so, will moving to S.C. improve his ability at hiring quality workers? I doubt it. He probably got the employees he paid for.
Or he simply couldn't compete with Distortions Unlimited, which kicks his behind around here as far as halloween designs and latex are concerned.

I agree, it is a bit suspicious. At any rate, it's his company and he can do with it what he pleases. But something in his story doesn't quite add up.

I think it's funny that the same people around here who argue that making guns illegal won't stop people from having them are usually the ones that think making pot illegal will stop people from smoking it.

What? You mean the fact that it was illegal didn't prevent you from smoking it? Man, I really thought those prohibition laws worked good. I guess they don't.

Interesting, especially the Distortions Unlimited part.
