You have made up a fictitious straw man, and are raging against it. The real liberal policy on drug abuse encourages rehabilitation, and harm reduction.

Yes, that's it. Nearly impossible to overcome for me. I have some stories, believe me. Though I never made a scene, to be clear, nor would I. I am better when I fly with someone, but unfortunately, I often have to fly alone for business purposes. One time I was flying cross country, and some woman across the aisle actually yelled out, while we were taxiing down the runway "WHAT'S THAT NOISE?". I just sat there, wide-eyed, and I was lucky because my seatmate saw my face and said to me ignore her, she's an idiot. I think he said it was the wings or something. He was so mad. I would have killed her if I wasn't too scared to move. lol

I've been struck by lightning while flying three times; once deadheading in the back and twice up front. Deadheading, I've also experienced turbulence and mechanical issues. If in uniform, when something happens, I can feel all eyes lock on me while reading my newspaper or book. At times I've been tempted to drop the newspaper, stand up and scream "We're all gonna die!!!" to see if it would turn into a scene from "Airplane!".

I get why you would find that funny, but I'm glad you resist the urge.

Many people who get DWIs are not drunk. Legally drunk and actually drunk are two very different things. I should have said 'under the influence', instead of 'drunk'.

It conjures two totally different images.

Some people handle their liquor better but that fact remains they are not 100%.

Again, yes, I can probably fly an airplane shitfaced...as long as nothing goes wrong. Flying incapacitated is putting the lives of others at risk; either on the plane or on the ground. Anyone who does that doesn't deserve to fly.

Even though the last time you set foot in a school you were turning in your drop-out papers in 8th grade. :laugh:

My youngest is an early childhood-special ed teacher. She teaches the kids (those capable of it, that is) their colors, numbers, letters and other Marxist ideals. She also instills Marxist principles like being kind to each other, helping someone who is struggling, cooperative play, manners, and that dancing and singing are a lot of fun. Some of her kids are the children of legal immigrants who are just beginning to learn English, so she not only helps with that but also encourages them to share the socialist practice of teaching the other kids words in their native languages. Worst of all, since a quarter of her students are not white children, they are subtly learning CRT -- that skin color is just a thing like blue eyes or straight hair.

What will become of our nation if this continues?

You have a victim mentality which explains why you are a loser who blames others for your life's failures:

Signs You Have a Victimhood Mindset
It’s normal to be unsatisfied in some parts of your life. But it’s important to look at the bigger picture. If you notice similar patterns across different areas of your life, you might have a victim mentality.

The first step to solving a problem is to identify and acknowledge it. Look for these signs in yourself to see if you might have adopted a victim mentality:

*You blame others for the way your life is
*You truly think life is against you
*You have trouble coping with problems in your life and feel powerless against them
*You feel stuck in life and approach things with a negative attitude
*You feel attacked when someone tries to offer helpful feedback
*Feeling bad for yourself gives you relief or pleasure
*You attract people who blame others and complain about their life
*It’s difficult for you to examine yourself and make changes

It's on topic. If the pilot in the OP accepts responsibility for his actions, he could return to flying one day. If he's a fucking loser like you, he'll sulk, blame others and be a loser for life.

His choice to choose just like it's your choice to choose.

Several years ago two Northwest Airline pilots were busted for being under the influence**. The Captain, Lyle Prouse, accepted responsibility for his actions and sought treatment.

https://minnesota.cbslocal.com/2017/09/06/former-northwest-airlines-pilot-talks-flying-drunk/
In 1990, Northwest Airlines Captain Lyle Prouse, his co-pilot and a flight engineer were arrested for flying drunk after taking passengers aboard Northwest Airlines flight 650 from Fargo to Minneapolis.

At the time, WCCO-TV reporter Alan Cox wrote, “Witnesses at a bar told investigators the captain had more than a dozen mixed drinks and co-pilots shared six pitchers of beer.”

Now 27 years after the incident, county attorney staff sat in silence, mesmerized as Lyle Prouse described growing up in an alcoholic household in Kansas. Still, he credits them for instilling in him solid values and work ethic.

“I don’t blame them for my alcoholism, I’m an alcoholic because I made a choice to drink,” Prouse told the audience....

...Prouse was rehired by Northwest in 1993 and would remain with the company until 1998, when he retired at the mandatory age of 60, a 747 captain.

What appeared to be Lyle Prouse’s darkest days, would eventually unleash his brightest. His book detailing his experience, “Final Approach,” helped other struggling alcoholics seek treatment.

“No matter how far down the scale we’ve gone, we will see how our experiences can benefit others,” Prouse said.



**the joke at the time was "How many pilots does it take to fly a Northwest airliner? Three and a fifth." Bada Boom!

You're here, ain'tcha? You're a loser who blames others for your problems, ain'tcha?

OTOH, it's your path to choose. If you want to walk the path of loser with a victim mentality, no one can make you change your mind.

Most of the people for "banning the box" are Democrats. Basically, they want employers not to ask whether you have been convicted of a crime in the past. We can let people get on with their lives, without having to try to explain a several decade old conviction.

Meanwhile, Republicans are completely against banning the box.
