Yesterday another CVS christo-fascist refused to fill a prescription at a RI store. ( I can't find the specific story, it wsa on late night news yesterday)

The store says that they have to respect the religious beliefs of their employees, but what happens if they hire a Jahova's next who will tell cancer patients that they should just pray?

That's a great question and I'm with you on these fundy pharmacists, but you have no basis here for using the term "terrorist."

They do?!? I'm in the wrong line of work. I'm going to get a job at a Christian book store and refuse to sell any of the religious propoganda because it conflicts with my moral beliefs. It's like free money!

How about respecting the rights of their customers and not hire pharmacists who have such views?

Brilliant! :D
 
In Sweden we have among the strongest labour-protecting laws in the world, but such action from a pharmacist employee would most certainly cause him to be fired.
 
A person at a landscaping company cannot refuse to put down weed killer because they are an environmentalist. A person cannot work at Blockbuster but refuse to rent R rated movies because they are "bad." You cannot be a clerk in a 7-11 and refuse to sell cigarettes.

It is fine to have strong beliefs - religious or otherwise. But pick a job you can do without violating them. If you will not do your job, then you should be fired regardless of the reason.

As I said in a previous thread.

There was a time when making sacrifices for your moral values meant that you were inconvenienced (e.g. you quit your job), not that other people (like your boss or your boss's customers) were inconvenienced. Apparently those days are gone.

I think these two are the smartest comments that can be made on this topic.

WHY? Granted I amusing the term somewhat losely in tha no one died, but why can't this behavior be considered an act of terror? What if this girl had a medical condition the pharmicist didn't know about and the stress of being refused and having to go to another CVS exhasperated the condition which could be life threatening?

It is an illegal action to force, threaten or change the behavior or activity of a citizen engaged in a legal activity because of a political or religious reasons. The pharmicist is creating fear, panic and confusion for this person.

No it's not a bomb and the person doing it was not holding a gun, but is that the only form a terrorism that can be labeled as such?
Why is this any different from burning a cross on the front lawn of a black family or painting swastikas on a synaguage?
 
Speaking of pharmacies:

I heard on ABC news last night that Oregon either has or is about to require a doctor's prescription for OTC cold remedies that contain pseudoephedrine, so as to discourage meth labs.

List of Places I Once Thought Would be Nice Places To Live, but Now Wouldn't Go to on a Bet:

1. Oregon.

Y'suppose in this suit-happy nation folks could sue for some kind of "economic discrimination?" Like I can afford a $50 office visit just so I can get $2.50 worth of Sudafed for my sinuses.

Yeah, this anti-meth thing is getting a little crazy. Not that the entire drug war isn't completely loony, but come on.

In the great state of Georgia you are now prohibited from purchasing more than three medicines containing pseudoephedrine at a time. Slightly more rational than Oregon's approach, but still rather stupid.

Yes, because the requirement of a 'script stops people from getting a buttload of Oxycontin.

And it stops people from robbing pharmacies to get Oxycontin.

All those laws create a magical field that causes them to instantly solve the problem they were created to solve. This is why we live in a happy candyland paradise where all our dreams come true and nobody is ever discriminated against or murdered or robbed or does drugs or cheats the IRS or cheats investors or raped or fondles themselves publicly or...

Oh, sorry. Took a tad too much Sudafed there.
 
Eh, to be clear, I'm not advocating anarchy or anything like that. Just mocking that, "We've made a rule! Problem solved!" does nothing in and of itself.

Enforcing it is what does it. I was just being overly silly.

:) Yeah, I figured. Also, I had my sarcasm-detection helmet on: it's lined with tin-foil.

BTW, I have lived in Georgia and I can tell you from experience that the smart people in Georgia are the ones who got out.

Which, of course, means.....

:D

Hmmm.....I will use this on the next gun thread.
 
Why not file a lawsuit?

If a pharmacist denied me a legal perscription I would file a complaint against that person through the State licensing Board AND sue the retailer.

RI has such a board and their web site states:

The primary responsibility of the Board of Pharmacy is to protect the citizens of the State of Rhode Island by ensuring that licensees under its purview meet acceptance standards of pharmaceutical care. The Board of Pharmacy:

......Receives, reviews and determines dispositions of written complaints related to the practice of pharmacy; reviews all evidence to make a determination whether the pharmacist failed to meet acceptable standards of pharmacy practice, and reports final actions to appropriate agencies.

Recommends the issuance of a reprimand, license revocation, suspension, or other action to adjudicate a complaint........

So should this happen to you - file that complaint. Believe me, once an example is made of one of these cretins, the rest will fall into line.

I read a story recently about a guy who was not allowed to buy daytime and nighttime packs of cold medicine at the same time because it went over the allowed amount of pseudoephedrine.

Don't remember the state, though.
 
I think I see a SAT question in all of this:

A) Gulag

B) Dick Durbin

C) Howard Dean

D) Lame Analogy
