Dig or DIE!!!

Haha, ok I saw the funniest ad ever at the war museum. It was this picket poster that said...and I quote. 'Dig or Die.'

Time frame, it was understandable but, a little much in my mind. It was 1939 right before the Blitz on London started. Many of London's residents were working on building trenches and, fear being an amazing motivator, surved well in this time. London is about to be blown up, and here are people telling you to dig, or you will die. Perfect persuasion technique to use fear as the motivator to get people to dig.

The interesting thing to me, is that it wasn't 'Evacuate or Die.' Let's stay here and dig, not leave and survive. But then again I wasn't in that situation so I wouldn't know.

When we were talking about 'scaring the sex out of them' in class the other day, I noticed how easy it is to use fear as the motivator. In High School some of our classmates had to carry a baby around for a week for their final in their Home Education class. The baby was a doll but it would cry, poop, pee, need to be fed, everything a normal baby does. This (in my mind) was used to scare these 16, 17 year old girls into not having sex...because you don't want this.

Well, instead of teaching how to use a condom, or staying a virgin til marriage...it was, baby=annoying for a 16 year old. Why is that the target? Why not teach how not to be put in this situation. There are many of ways to prevent a 16 year old from having to feed her baby during class...a fake baby for that matter. Why is it, that using fear to scare the sex out of 16 year olds is the best way? Good call, I know one of those friends of mine has 2 kids. Shes 21.

...seriously good call NBISD!
