The point of a democracy is that they do. You get enough people to sign a petition, and the government won't have a choice otherwise

Signing a petition does nothing. If enough people sign, they're just required to acknowledge and look at it, not act on it.

As commentary on the psychological impact of what soldiers go through during war, it's pretty effective

Very little. You can maybe vote in a law, or elect someone and hope they do what you wanted, but in the end govt holds all the cards.

I was questioning that one too. It's way too focused on appearance. What if she digs the guy?

They have may exaggerated the appearance because there isn't dialog. Also, he may look more drastic in order for people to notice him?

Using hollow point or frangible ammunition greatly reduces the risk of over penetrating the target.
agjm
That one actually made an impact with me (no pun intended). Very real concern with the urban warfare of today.
3rdweal
Most bullets fired in combat miss their targets, so this should not be the reason to use expanding ammunition. Greater lethality is.
gondring
Greater *stopping power*. Per stop, .22 is more lethal than .45, as it takes more hits. Goal is to STOP.
3rdweal
The only way to reliably stop is to kill - and shot placement counts more than caliber in this regard.

That is what extensive training and nerve control practice is for, people who might make a mistake in that situation should not carry at all

But the ad is confusing without. How would people get the message? I don't condone stereotypes themselves, but here it conveys intent.

Advertising in general does. And flash fiction. And short, one-act plays. People can't quickly identify with things without assumptions.

They should do one about crime and murder leaving more victims. Guns often stop crimes without a shot.

Yes, and few of the times result in the death of the criminal. Often a missed shot or wound ends the crime.

I'm not. they wouldn't take mine anyways, no one wants my Lupus riddled organs

It's not just organs, it almost anything. You might still have something they can use.
SenoritaPotato
1/1 I am an organ donor.. but if you are on life support they with take your organs while you're still plugged in so your family can't be
SenoritaPotato
1/2 with you when you pass. I learned this when my uncle passed :(
MarslingOnEarth
Yikes... I never thought of that. But it won't change my mind! I'm a donor as well.
emuthegreen
If you're on full support and they're taking your organs "you" in all senses of the word but the meat sack you inhabit are long fucking gone
tinymeow
I believe what he's referring to is that they take the braindead donor to the OR still plugged in to all the machines.
Ravie422
Family didn't get to see you vs someone else gets to not die. I don't mean to be rude but if you are 100%going to die the organs are

raidleadergutts
Wait what?! They harvested his organs while he was still alive? What the shit? Am I missing something here?
humpbackwhale
I think it was certain that his uncle would die. So the doctors quickly got the organs out. I mean, I can see why that's hard for family (1)
emuthegreen
Brain dead, but they have to keep blood and oxygen moving with a machine to keep the organs alive. His uncle was already dead.
iguessihaveto
When you are on life support, the machines make your lungs breath and/or your blood pump, but that doesn't mean there is anyone home
SenoritaPotato
This is true, he was 100% brain dead. I'm just saying sometimes it's hard for the family, and in my uncles case he was an alcoholic so they

Upstairs. It's generally a case where the person will never wake up again, and the body will officially die when the machines turn off. But

(2) to deal with. But at the same time, saying goodbye to his alive, yet vegetative body is just as heartbreaking as not saying goodbye.
raidleadergutts
Oh, well if it was certain, then I guess that's ok. I was worried for a moment.
iguessihaveto
I was there when they pulled the plug on my stepmother. I think it was worse to have been there. I still get stuck there, in my head.
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh
I think it is the fear, that in case of an accident, where you are severly hurt, that they will pull the plug too fast or give in early.
kasechan
Most doctors won't stop even when you need them to. When you've told them to. When the person in question has a dnr.

Med team will exhaust themselves trying to save a life. Broke several of grandpas ribs & left him mighty bruised doing it.
colonelmustardinthekitchenwiththecandlestick
my dad is trying to talk me out of being an organ donor using this exact reasoning
rutslut
My mom drilled that into my head growing up. It was enough to make me originally opt out.
sspen
Doctors w/ patients that need organs won't make that choice for you. It's a conflict of interest.
GavinScreaming
I guess this is a fear is the person is a fucking moron
AdaMR96
This does actually happen
aaakeith
No it doesn't. I work in a level 1 trauma ER and usually we aren't even aware of their donor-status until it's time to call the death.
GeezPeopleGetYourLivesTogether

GeezPeopleGetYourLivesTogether
Snopes calls this one a myth. As a medical student, we are very aware of this fear people have and have a lot of ethics training around it
teeps42
Well, cursory research would abate those fears, but we live in an ignorant society and that's too much work. Source: former MS recovery tech
BooBooPoop
EMTs pull a victim from a burning car & begins CPR. An EMT to another "Hey Joe, get the purse, too, & check the ID for organ donor".
teeps42
This is the ignorance I'm talking about.
BooBooPoop
It's a joke...the point is that would never happen....
BooBooPoop
Most folks in a lot of European countries are organ donors. But lots of religious people in the U.S. aren't organ donors. Only in America.
Stelmacki
I'm sure you have a source...
BooBooPoop
I do.
GhostGuy
So you're saying that doesn't happen? Because to the best of my knowledge, it does.
GavinScreaming
Also work in an ER. We don't fucking know if they're an organ donor
teeps42
It absolutely does not happen. You would be surprised. I can give you an info line if you like so you can have all your questions answered!!
PajamaStripes
Not once have I ever heard of an EMT or ER doctor even knowing the patient's donor status until after they're at least brain dead.
MyDragonHeartedSpirit
While I do believe you, any EMT who has looked at the patient's ID can see whether they're a donor or not.
mercemay
I used to work at a trauma center. You don't even know donor status until after the patient is gone. Priority is working on the patient.
Aegween
I'm not an organ donor. I want to be buried intact.
Flyndaran
Got make sure you take as many innocent lives with you as possible. Sure makes your nutty religion one of peace and kindness.
Aegween
Hmm I don't have any religion
tinymeow
@aegween What if you were cremated & all the ashes buried in 1 urn? Or do you mean classic casket?
ShamnusMcfee
How the fuck would you even know. I don't know if you know this, but when you die, you're dead.
DarksteelPenguin
Why? It's not like your body will stay intact for long.
Aegween
Because it's my body and I don't like the idea of being artificially scattered
Aegween
And before I am called heartless for not saving lives... I'm a hospice nurse and the planet is horrendously overpopulated. Humans need (1/2
Aegween
To downsize. I have no plans of procreation either. Got my tubes tied for my 30th birthday. (2/2)
PlumpPotato
I'm not mainly because I feel really uncomfortable with the thought. I did consider it and appreciate those who do, and I may change my mind
Aegween
I made an unpopular puffin going into detail about why I feel this way. I'm getting lots of public and private harassment now.

ShamnusMcfee
Voluntary opting out of the opportunity to save lives in a fashion that doesn't impact you at all certainly does make you a 'bad person'
PlumpPotato
Yeah, I agree. I generally try to be nice and really helpful. But for some odd reason, its hard for me to wrap my head around and do myself.
CuteAnimalsForSadSister
So are the two white babies going to be strippers or...
KlausKinski
was probably made by a SJW or a Jew
JimboGreaves
Nah the two white babes are on well fare not doing shit and the black baby is an employed, productive member of society. Affirmative action!
YeOldNerd
I think its implied that white babies aren't determined on what they'll end up doing like black babies cause racism
drunkenfausto
Aaah yes. The umbrella for which every problem, for any person of pigment, can tuck their blame.
szai
Adult babies.
KeeleonOhms
Im not sure what that ad is trying to sell...
bitterbeard
NWO lies in quite a few
KeeleonOhms
Its not even about "lies". So what if different races are treated differently? What is the average person supposed to do about it?
davis3d
Not be racist, apparently. It's almost as effective telling people not to rape.
AnEvilLemon
Diaper strippers, mind you.

No they will be sumo wrestlers
JebediahJones
It really bugs the shit out of me when these ads implicitly shit all over respectable labor jobs
CuteAnimalsForSadSister
America needs to return to viewing vocational education and the labor associated with it as both positive and desirable
BeadyEyed123
I was wondering about that one too. Is it super racist or just not complete? Or both?
sciencynerdgirl
And why are 6 month old babies in hospital cribs anyway? So many questions...
drunkenfausto
Cause daddy killed mommy when she couldnt explain the inverted oreo she queefed out
Varroth
It's a pretty racist ad tbh.
drunkenfausto
Thats the point jackass
Varroth
No, it's trying to seem aware and counter racism. But in trying to do so it was just racist. Like overly PC people being racist.
dmoore182
The middle one looks like a union job.
Morpheous
From the black perspective: we need more skilled laborers in our communities. Not enough people see it as valuable asset to a community.
AnotherImgurian14
But don't you know anything relating to manual labor is low class and should be shamed? Gawd.
Morpheous
Interesting recipe, pinch of shaming labor, 1 cup of glorifying gangsters, bake for 40 years and you have the biggest crime demographic
SerOddgar
I really hope you are actually black. It's just so easy to forget that there are reasonable people on every side of a conflict.

I read the ad wrong then, because I thought it was saying keep the Santa dream alive because stuff like that begets creativity

Or not Santa specifically, but dreams and imagination in general

Do strippers often require a lot of money to compile pictures of their escapades into a collection on a poster board?
middlehead
It's their equivalent of a résumé.

I claim negligent(?) on account English isn't my native or even second language. And this days it isn't unlikely for a stripper to instagram

with professional support (photographer and such).

It's spelled "college".. "collage" on the other hand is a collection of pictures on a board.

As a guy who writes software which analyses DNA... yes, yes it could be.

If that recessive gene has melatonin in it

Ok, I know this comment of yours is seven months old, but I have to react to it.

Yup, exactly what happened with my wife and I; both of us are white and recesive genes gave us a beautiful black baby boy.

russrob84
15-18 an hour to pick up trash seems pretty nice, plus most of thise guys have to get a CDL for employment, so more job opportunities later

They certainly don't make "bank".
chrisharddick
AVG pay is $13.50/hr. Not bank, but not bad for what it is
GrizzlyWicks
i make £10 /hr wiping bums whats that in dollarydoos
MetilHed
Location matters too. City sanitation workers here(Chicago) make bank. Not even the newest one makes less than 2x13.50
MetilHed
That's horrible for what it is.
Nibbets
I have a buddy who drives, makes $18 an hour
JohnFloorwalker
Yeah, I make that & I sit in an office & don't do shit. They should probably get paid more.
krazy986
The trash guy that pickup my jobs gets paid 70k a year.
ZombiePuggle
Dirty back-breaking work should pay more.
SheerAnalBumParty
$13.50 is quite respectable.
leodavinci1
I only see garbage trucks with those arms that pickup cans. Do people actually pickup cans anywhere in the U.S. anymore?
chrisharddick
In an ideal world yes but we just don't have that kinda money laying around
caramelballoffur
It's 14.25$ an hours where i live. Given that it doesn't require higher education it's quite fair.
Myharoth
I interpreted it to mean the choice has been made, not necessarily that sanitation is bad. But I dunno.
Leithoa
I understand the message but don't understand why people think that it's forced. Even in a social pressure sense.
pragmatao
I get the implication, but I'd be pretty pissed if I was a black sanitation worker.
FraudulentPepsi
Well, they didn't make him a doctor
Adiktedgottaregisternow
Exactly. Or that his choice was limited to a job not requiring much education beyond high school.
inetknght
Can you imagine if sanitation workers did have education beyond high school? So much cleaner stuff
glitterkitty
Just playing devil's advocate here, but for a job that doesn't require much education, it's a really good job, and pays VERY well.
Adiktedgottaregisternow
I know, right ? Working for the city is always good, benefits package and all.
