I think its amazing that they got a PSA directed by Werner Herzog but who are they going to get a PSA about the dangers of working with Werner Herzog.
Saying that they apparently agree that it's wrong or stupid, yet they won't actually stop doing it unless there's social pressure to do so?Since 78% of teen drivers say they're likely to not text and drive if friends tell them it's wrong or stupid
That's what I thought of when I saw this, pledges don't really do anything except raise a bit of awareness. But people will just revert to their old ways when it is convenient because they honestly don't care or understand.Tanis said:So...it's like the 'no sex till marriage pledge?',
Everyone breaks it, and will find ways to 'justify' some kind of loopholes (anal/oral/etc)?
Because, lets face it, those of us who already don't do this don't need to make any kind of 'pledge' not to be an idiot while driving.
-We're too busy watching out of morons who text, drive, and nearly t-bone us.
I don't text, don't even have a phone that can do it so I also have no reason to. Calling someone seems a much better means of communication that makes texting outdated.Kevlar Eater said:I've no reason to pledge to do this, since I believe the whole "it can wait" thing is called common sense and courtesy. Shame it's getting increasingly rare.
Didn't the Victorians drink irradiated water, though? As a health spa thing. People are about as dumb as usual, I'd say.KissingSunlight said:There was another thread where people were arguing, "Are people dumber now than in the Victorian Age?" I say it's not even a contest. Seriously? We have to have Public Service Announcements about not messing with electronic devices while driving. We are completely brainless as a society.
But we might buy more of their products in the future if we're not dead, don't we? Must've been a hard sell at first, though.Phrozenflame500 said:Wait, AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile/Sprint paid you money to tell us to not use their products?
Some teenagers do a LOT of stupid shit because their friends are doing it. I've seen and heard everything up to "attempting to use explosives on old women" use that as an excuse. Doesn't justify it of course, but with teenagers all it takes for a multiple fatality is one idiot and a lot of spineless joiners.Hagi said:I find this line a tad disturbing though:
