    1. Sometimes, yes, many times a family member may call EMS to hand them the DNR, this ensures proper procedures are followed when dealing with the body, less mess, and a quicker certification of death. It may also be important in situations where the person is influencial or rich and ensures you cannot be accused of foul play.

    2. No, DNRs have certain things that make them official, signatures and notarized markings. Usually one person will begin life saving measures while the ither verifies the DNR. EMS never work alone.


  • Not illegal, good samaritan laws protect you either way. However, there is a “duty to rescue” if:

    1: You created the hazard that lead the person into danger, you must provide rescue.

    2: A special relationship exists. Spouses must rescue each other, parents must rescue children, employers must rescue employees, property owners to invitees but not trespassers.

    3: In some jurisdictions you have a duty to notify, which is usually calling the police, but you do not have to take any measures to help them beyond that. Only 10 states require this and is never actually enforced.



  • According to the 2020 Pentagon Qualified Military Available Study. 77% of American 17 to 24 are not qualified, of that 77%, 11% are overweight beyond a waiver, 8% cannot due to alcohol or drug abuse, 7% cannot due to mental or physical health, aptitude or conduct was 2%, and multiple reasons was listed at 20% including a combination of the above and factors like prior convictions.

    So low end 48% of 17 to 24 year olds are inelligble. This doesn’t include specific draft exemptions like being in college or working with critical infrastructure which have always been exempt from selective service.



  • Now we are having recruiting problems for entirely different issues. It also just so happened the easier waivers coincidentally went into affect when we were already going to meet recrui goals. Nowadays a draft would mean the end of America. Something like 70% of all Americans are unable to be drafted for one reason or another, and the last 30 would more than likely riot and shoot recruiters at the first opportunity.









  • Just going off what google says are King’s top 10 works:

    1. The Shining - Violence, Mental Health, Psychosis

    2. The Green Mile - Good for most kids that can understand the concept of racism.

    3. Salem’s Lot - I have not read this one, but the internet says it’s gore heavy and horror filled.

    4. Carrie - Gore

    5. IT - Horror, Violence, and the sewer scene.

    6. Pet Semetsry - Considered to be King’s most disturbing book.

    7. Doctor Sleep- Shining sequel, still horror and violence.

    8. 11/22/63 - Good

    9. The Stand - Violence, though better than the others.

    10. The Dead Zone - Probably good, thougj has mature themes.

    If 7/8 of the top 10 King works are not good for children, and King is the world’s foremost horror writer, it is safe to assume many of his works are not good for a younger audience without guidance and supervision. Obviously Stephen King has novels and stories suitable for young children, and each book should be looked at on their own not as a collective.
