Emergency Dispatcher Fired For Facebook Drug Joke
kaptink writes "Dana Kuchler, a 21-year veteran of the West Allis Dispatch Department, was fired from her job for making jokes on her Facebook page about taking drugs. She appealed to an arbitrator, claiming the Facebook post was a joke, pointing out she had written 'ha' in it, and noting that urine and hair samples tested negative for drugs. The arbitrator said she should be entitled to go back to work after a 30-day suspension, but the City of West Allis complained that was not appropriate. Is posting bad jokes on Facebook a justifiable reason to give someone the boot?"
No, but my take on it is that it's time to give Facebook the boot. I deleted my account over a year ago.

Hey Earthlings, I've just arrived from a distant planet, and happened across this thread. Wow your planet is lame! Mxaskgplt
Fuck you. There's a big difference between the vague text of the 9th amendment the text of Alaska's Constitution:
22. Right of Privacy The right of the people to privacy is recognized and shall not be infringed.

Troll? Well, at least I'm not an anonymous coward, bitch.
The guy insulted me for no reason. Am I a troll for disagreeing or for saying the F-word?
I'm making a point that the right to privacy is less explicit in the US constitution than it is in the Alaska constitution. The right to privacy of the Alaska constitution allows people to smoke pot legally in their own home because as interpreted by the courts privacy is based on the sanctity of the bond between man and women in the privacy of their own bedroom.
That's WAY DIFFERENT than the protections the US constitution affords us.

And when there are no more smokers then you fat, donut eating geeks will have to get off your butts. When 80% of this country are classified as obese .. it's TIME to stop blaming the 7% of this country that still smoke for YOUR high costs. Tis a joke .. whenever I'm standing outside and one of you double bubble rolls walk by with your nose in the air because *I* am smoking .. all I can say is that maybe that triple cheeseburger and order of chili-cheese fries ISN'T such a good idea. ;)
Tell me what you believe...I'll tell you what you should see.
English is my native language and I have no idea WTF he means by "pry".
English is not my native language and in my native language "pry" means "reportedly", so I don't understand what you don't understand, it makes perfect sense to me.
