Question by Pablo: Is Cindy McCain shady?
Why is it such a big deal that she doesn’t disclose her income. John McCain has already stated that he gives the majority of his income to her. Is he basically hiding his Income behind his wife? Do you find this as shady dealings or questionable actions by a presidential nominee ?
Im not taking sides. all the other canidates have disclosed their joint filings Why all the secrecy?
Is it wierd that a married couple would be filing seperately ?

Answer by negaduck
i dont care about her income. couldnt care less. if this is enough to sway your vote between two such different candidates (obama and mccain) then you must not care much about politics.

Question by Whitewolfct: Critiques of the WWE’s “Wellness Program” — what is wrong with this picture?
Since Jeff Hardy is the current topic of the day, I just thought I’d bring up a related and perhaps more important issue and question. Concerning WWE’s “Wellness Program” (see link for details), do you think there are problems with the way the WWE is dealing with substance abuse? It seems to me like the Wellness program is more of a patch-up job than a real solution. Too many wrestlers have been lost and too many more are getting addicted to steroids, drugs, GH, painkillers, et cetera — are random testing and mandatory suspensions real solutions? Do they merely pay lip service to much bigger problems that the WWE isn’t able or willing to deal with?

Answer by Daniel De Lyon
While I don’t have time to follow the link and read it, I still have an opinion on the WWE’s wellness policy. I don’t think the WWE is doing it out of the kindness of their heart. If they were they would have instituted the policy a long time ago.

It is only being done as PR move to throw off negative attention. If any of the substances that violate the policy have been prescribed by a doctor than the wrestler will automatically not be in violation.

Regardless of the policy if the WWE really likes you, they will probably protect you and keeping pushing you. Look at Randy Orton. While he has been caught twice for marijuana use and suspended for other violations he still continues to be pushed. The guy has done a lot of bad things like trash hotel rooms, crap in people’s bag and even attempted suicide once or talked about. You think WWE would take a more cautious side in pushing him. But for some reason they just love to give him the ball.

I truly believe that Vince does not have faith in Hardy since he doesn’t fit the mold of the type of wrestlers he likes to push. So they were more than eager to suspend Hardy. It made them look great, like they were actually enforcing their policy since a top tier guy got suspended. I will only believe the policy is not biased when I see a guy like HHH or John Cena get suspended.

Question by puffer fish: Employment to large companies…drug tests?
I recently tried to apply to a large company to be an accountant, and they asked if I would be willing to do a hair folical test. I said yes, but never returned their phone call because I knew I would fail…I used cocaine and marijuana several months ago, and although it would be long gone in my urine or blood, I heard it stays in your hair folical for years…are most companies doing hair folical tests now?

Best answer:

Answer by 01001011
It’s hard to say “most” companies are doing hair follicle tests, since not all companies do drug tests prior to employment. But yes, of companies that do drug tests, the hair follicle test is becoming increasingly popular for its less invasive nature and wider window of detection than urine testing. Purportedly, in fact, “the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has proposed new rules, in the final state of revision, that are likely to make hair the prime specimen for drug testing.”

However, supposedly the standard for testing is only about the first 1.5 inches of hair, which is more or less 90 days back depending on how fast your hair grows, even though how far they could test is only limited by the length of the hair. So it is possible you may have passed the drug test; the actualy time frame is fairly rough.

Answer by Tim
It is pretty much hit and miss.

I have some that do, most do not. It depends on the size of the company and the importance of the results to them.
