I just found out about this nail polish that detects DATE RAPE DRUGS...it's actually pretty KEWL....I wonder why it's not advertised more often?
So, there are a group of Feminist who feel this is PROMOTING men to RAPE....WHAT?!?!?! Excuse me?!?!?! Seriously!?!? What the hell is wrong with these women and groups who are opposed to this Nail Polish??? OH MY GOD! one women said..."I should not have to test my drink when I go out." yeah, okay...I can agree with this...but HELLLLOOOO! In this world, you have to always be on the look out.
Personally I think it's a GREAT IDEA....What say you RP??

The concept was discussed a few years ago. There are "different" concerns with it. Please pardon the cold approach.
Security theater. The number of attempts v. successes with drugging someone. Additionally, many if not most assault is from a KNOWN person. A TRUSTED person. A product like this does not help against someone you would never suspect.
"Unknown Substances." Sure it might find the "most common" pharmaceuticals used but it likely can't find all and you end up with "new and evolving" drugs designed to beat the system. That's ignoring point 1 (above). What happens with false negatives? Or worse, false positives where a trusted associate hands you a drink and you flag him for a drink that is free of substance but shows it has something in it?
Third, the most common "date rape drug" is ALCOHOL. Seriously, and this is not meant to be mean, cruel, or otherwise, but it is a cognitive inhibitor and people make bad decisions while on it. Both sides of the equation. This doesn't test for stupidity of Blood Alcohol Level. It doesn't glow blue when someone is no longer able to give consent.
It's a great idea at first glance, but the deeper we get into it, the more like the TSA it is.

Sgt Aaron Kennedy, MS I am a non drinker...I would abolish alcohol...that being said...I think it's a good idea...it may not detect all drugs, but at least it detects the top 3 drugs which are used in RAPE.

Sgt Kelli Mays - It doesn't though. ALCOHOL is #1 on that list.
I'm not saying it isn't a good idea. I'm saying it's an "incomplete" idea, and in general rape (et al) is perpetuated by known persons.
Now, if you wanted to remove alcohol from the equation completely.... the need for this drops dramatically as well.
The reason this doesn't work is that it excludes the #1 problem. Alcohol. Alcohol is what is going to get ANYONE in the most problems, sexual or otherwise. And it's legal, easily applied, and invisible to this test.

I've heard about this nail polish a while back. I'm flabbergasted to think that Feminist are saying this will promote men to rape; why, just to see if someone will have the nail polish on and use to detect Rohypnol? I don't think so. These "extreme" groups will do ANYTHING to create paranoia and fear because that is what gives them power. Don't believe in the hype, the abnormal brainwashing techniques. Use Common Sense; it works.
