Okay, I love orange juice, nothing added, does that count?

...

Not sure what the Comparison of Orange (or any other Juice) to Cranberry is with regards to Passing a Cotinine Test?

But I think that drinking any Juice is Good for you general Health wise.

Straight-up cranberry juice can be hard to take.

Yeah... Drinking a lot of Pure Cranberry Juice can have the same effect as Radiator Flush.

And something One might want to Not Do before getting into a car for a Long Road Trip.

What a load of crap, eh? Yes, my friend was getting a job as a medical coder at a hospital and it was a strict no nic policy for hire. :facepalm:
It is so crazy how intrusive the industry is now.

Intrusive? It's positively FASCIST. I wanna see strict NO CAFFEINE policies! Because hey, I could live without caffeine, why shouldn't everybody? :facepalm:

Oh, I won't be surprised if employers and insurance companies begin testing DNA to look for the propensity to develop health issues of all kinds as technology advances, and medical researchers link more and more diseases to genes :(

Sorry, you might be prone to cancer in the future. We can't hire or insure you.

I'm actually glad I didn't have children.

Believe me the genetic testing is coming sooner than later. It's downright evil.

You pretty much just described the plot to Gattaca. Great movie.

Haven't seen it :)

Its been floating around in my mind since I developed pancreatitis. One of the first things they did was a DNA test to see if I had any mutation of the Cystic Fibrosis gene. They looked for about 1600 mutations.

And doctors have told me they think there could be other hereditary factors and are researching that.

Some day, those who believe in freedom will be driven underground.
It's looking more and more inevitable with each passing year.

And I agree about not having children.

At this point, it seems a bit irresponsible to have children.
And I'm VERY glad I don't have any.

I had one... but actually I'm thinking I did the world a disservice by only having one; the sub-normals reproduce like mayflies. :facepalm: Too bad intelligent people limit their procreation to the number they can actually support.

I'm starting to think that the movie Idiocracy...
Deserves almost as much acclaim as the book 1984 has garnered...

EDIT: I should note that morning of Day 7 results will be coming within the hour

I have actually had people get angry with me for not having any for that exact reason!

I didn't have children because I married a jerk. I wasn't willing to subject them to a father who undoubtedly would've abused them, and certainly wouldn't have supported them. And I decided I didn't want to be a single parent working two jobs while a babysitter raised them instead.

I have one and I thank God she is 19 and grown.

That, is part of the grand master plan!

Back in the early 80's I was in the service, an the whole random urine testing thing started. I was against it then, and am even more so now. I don't see the major portion of our current population ever standing up to fight to regain our freedoms, like the right to privacy of what is in my body. Wait till they start requiring folks to wear "fit bit" type devices with tracking on board. After all, it's for "your safety" ;) Trust us, were here to "protect" you...

Can't blame you a bit! I had an abortion when I was 21, because the "father" was so extremely abusive -- funny how I was willing to tolerate it, but couldn't support the idea of him as a dad -- so I left him and had an abortion! My husband and I had only been married for a month when I learned I was pregnant, and at first I was kinda wigged about it... but then I thought, I'm 26, will be 27 around the time of the birth; if I'm gonna have ANY kids, maybe I oughta get to it! And he was a FABULOUS dad! He feels bad because he had to work so much instead of spending time with our son, but I told him (and our son told him too!) that our boy learned a terrific work ethic from seeing his dad, going to work unless he was calling in DEAD. I think in the entire 18 yrs of our son's "childhood", my husband may have called in sick twice -- and once it was a matter of a broken foot (3 bones), so he couldn't drive the forklift with that boot on! :D
