Unpopular opinions

Disagree dougie, carrying a tourniquet is a bit much, no?
hahahaha it is in the right thread though, hahaha
-
My argument for tourniquets are this: if you are so concerned about getting assaulted you would ban guns/knives, you should know and be prepared if something bad happens. For the pocket real estate of one of these giant ass wallets, you could be prepared to save a life.
I know three people with kids with clotting disorders, and two adults with clotting disorders. I work with no less than than a dozen people with heart conditions. Seriously, take ownership if you feel passionately about something instead of enabling a politician.
-
instead of using a tourniquet i can just use my heavy a$$ belt and save my pocket space as that would defo mess up my fades.
jeez, what are you thinking
additionally, your public safety view is related to violence inflicted on others while the public safety a few folks were discussing (okay piling on really) was about the harm people inflict on themselves with "bad diets"
-
If someone tells you you’re unpop is no good Then it hit the fkn mark. Dead nuts. I love all shit that’s bad for me and agree it should all be taxed highly. . It might bring my god damned insurance premiums down to
Earth. Self awareness and acceptance. I am aware of my shit and I accept fiscal responsibility. -
@madmonday Problem with a belt is you have to hold the belt in place the whole time. The holes don't go far enough to fit around an arm.
I'm just not a fan of the government telling me what choices I should or should not be making to that degree. My comment about public safety and the government is more related to the government getitng involved in my business.
I wouldn't cry a tear if alcohol was banned outright. I drink maybe twice a year at this point, and it's just as a social thing. Between angry drunks assualting people and drunk driving, worth it.

u right plus getting blood on my belt would suck and i saw a few for under $10 US, will ask the emt folks by my gig what they carry around and what would be best for a civilian like myself to keep in the car. do you have a defibrillator as well? by you r track record of being over prepared i would not be surprised (you know me dougie, but i'll write no dig is being taken so it's clear)and again you are presenting a different public health issue to oppose the previous un-pop, but it's cool to me. makes for witty banter
ban alcohol
can not believe you wrote those words@Matty123 you are growing on me . . . like a mole, hahahaha

I keep RATS tourniquets in my car. I get them in orange because they're easy to find if I pass by a bad car accident.
No joke, I thought about getting a AED for the car too. So no offense
As for the previous unpop, I'll try to get back on track. Sure, tax the shit out of unhealthy foods in the name of public health. Also ban alcohol. Alcohol related illness is a serious problem, in addition to drunk driving, and it has limited health benefits that can be offset with mandatory exercise. Tax the shit out of anyone that can't run a consistent 8 minute mile for three miles. Also establish standards of weight resistance that people must be able to push/pull/lift. Osteoporosis is a big problem. Plus other health benefits for resistance training.
-
Also, I keep a chest seal, chest decompression needle, and a nasopharangeal tube in my pack, as well as the emergency kit in my car.
I keep the equipment to make holes in people, so I keep the equipment to plug holes in people. In the end, it's about saving lives, all around. The latter is more important equipment than the former in my opinion.
-
These unpops suck.
Fast food is awesome, smoking makes you look cooler and the best music and movies are made by people who were out of their face on serious drugs. Come at me bro

Ok, Doug, I'll play.
I'll gladly pay an extra 5% in taxes so that poor people have access to basic healthcare. I'll admit I'm overdue for recertification on CPR, and I agree that everyone should learn it. Maybe make it part of getting, and keeping, a driver's license.
Oh, and banning alcohol didn't work well the last time we tried that, but I'm open to increasing taxes on it.
And as a runner, 8 minute miles for a 5k might be ambitious. I mean, I can do it, but I know a lot of people that are in excellent health that can't. You'd have to have a sliding scale to take age into account, too. Not a terrible idea, though…
-
You pussy. That's my warm up or cool down.
Personally, I don't have a dog in the fight. If you guys are down with the government regulating your eating choices then so be it. I just have a problem with the government micromanaging my personal choices.
This is how a nanny state begins.

Potentially really unpopular opinion alert:
I know I've been guilty of it in the past, but I'm ready for this look to die
