Why is it that people have to promote their own shit so aggressively. You should have to undergo a rigerous testing procedure in order to have something as a public advertisement. There is so much stuff out there, signs about people wanting as much as much as your possibly willing to give them. Basically i’d like to have control over the flow of all advertisements, the entire world over. Vote Steve for Global Comptroler of information.
Often times I find people touch on really sensative subjects that if the wrong person saw it, it could really ruin their day. I was driving through the country the other day and I saw a sign out in the middle of nowhere that read, “abortion stops a beating heart.” What kind of an image is that to be throwing up a sign on the side of the road. If you wanted you could put signs like that up all over the actual abortion clinic so that it’s at least relevant. And everyone who goes in can have a chance to internalize your opinon of what they are about to do so that it can explode inside of them moments later irreperably emotionaly scathing them as they undergo what will likely already be one of the saddest and most difficult things they have to do.
Why not instead of posting offensive signs, design a course or something people take before having an abortion that informs them on what they are considering in as much depth as humanly possible. I know some people are thinking, but Steve, if the right person saw that sign it would save a life; and it most certainly would. But on the other hand every single person who drives by the sign feels like shit. You are making everyone feel rotton with the signs there needs to be a more subtle way of making the point. Think of all of the awkward child parent conversations that occured after seeing one of those signs. “Mommy what is an abortion.”
“I don’t know sally ask your daddy.”
“No hunny don’t ask me, ask your mommy!”
“Ask daddy!–”
“Ask Mommy!–”
“LET’S GET ICE CREAM!!”
“YAAAAAAAAAAAY!!”
Anyways i guess the heart is in the right place and all, with the signs. Just tone it down a bit on the signs though. And what an uncouth way to approach someone about a subject like that. A person who is considering an abortion might be really sensitive and looking for someone who they can open up to. Not someone whose publicly condemned their thoughts before they’ve even met. There isn’t anything you can do to make people close off more than approaching them from the moral high ground; how is anyone supposed to feel comfortable expressing themselves around a person like that?
Maybe the anti abortionist person has a point and abortion is terrible and wrong, but even if they do the people who need to hear them won’t hear them when they go around being obstinate and loud with dissaproval.
I don’t even really have an opinion that i feel strongly enough about to write in this as far as whether i’m for or against it. But i will say one thing, good luck ever stopping it. In order to stop something like abortion you would have to be so invasive into people’s personal lives that you would definitely be impinging on their right to privacy.
Abortion is just an example too, there are plenty of examples people placing very unreasonable expectations on one another and then getting all in a hough whenever everyone on the planet doesn’t do exactly as they do. If you were to look at it like a soccer game it looks like the anti abortionists are about to mercy rule the abortionists; there is after all–shit loads of people everywhere in the entire world. It’s not like their loosing the fight or anything, so why take such a high and unapproachable stance.
I’ve had enough of this.. i’m leaving.
