Poll: Is "Avatar Activism" effective? -- (link) - znufrii Mar 27, 11:56 16
- Flawed premise to the question. Most are using the profile pic as a show of support, not as a tool to effect change. - TWuG Mar 27, 12:19
- more effective than hacktivism, maybe? :) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 27, 12:06
- I think there's an argument to be made that it's counter productive. - Dr.Vermin Mar 27, 12:03
- Is it activism or a show of support? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 27, 12:01 10
  - that's a fair point, and neither is it clear exactly what effect it's supposed to have, but I didn't write the question. -- nm - znufrii Mar 27, 12:04
  - It's alliteration -- nm - con_carne Mar 27, 12:01 8
    - Whatever. If anyone thinks that changing their avatar changes the world, they're nuts. But showing support? What's wrong with that? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 27, 12:05 7
      - I think it gets a conversation going, and kitchen table conversations have been key in changing public opinion on this issue -- nm - con_carne Mar 27, 12:15 5
        
        except in social media, your audience is self-selecting, and for the most part probably has the same views as you do. - znufrii Mar 27, 12:17 4
        
        so you're not really starting those kind of kitchen table conversations with the people whose minds you need to change. -- nm - znufrii Mar 27, 12:18 3
        
        I disagree. I've had more than a few conversation with people on FB because of this. My friends are all over the spectrum - Krusty Mar 27, 12:26
        
        When I say "kitchen table," I'm not implying that's the same thing as writing a letter to your Congressman. - con_carne Mar 27, 12:23
        
        I've had those kitchen table conversations with my sister. She is opposed to SSM and the Bible says she's right. You can guess how well the - TWuG Mar 27, 12:21

- Wait a minute,...so he can choose not to enforce laws that he doesn't agree with? I'm wondering if a cop can do that. - Jim Mar 27, 11:21 18
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yeah, my point was more along the lines of...i thought the idea was to change laws you don't like...not ignore them. -- nm - Jim Mar 27, 11:35 1
      - Something that takes years to accomplish, if ever. What we are dealing with here is what's to be done in the meantime. -- nm - con_carne Mar 27, 11:42
  - There are laws where Obama can ask the DOJ to de-prioritize enforcement. Marijuana laws are one of those the DOJ isn't - TWuG Mar 27, 11:25 1
    - The DOJ is doing more raids than during Bush. That's nice lie the administration is telling. - Krusty Mar 27, 11:36
  - There was recently a big story about a sheriff refusing to enforce gun laws, so sure. -- nm - Spawn Mar 27, 11:22 4
    - So they're not really laws, but suggested acceptable behaviors? -- nm - Jim Mar 27, 11:24 3

    - Can he do that without the concern of discipline from his boss? -- nm - Jim Mar 27, 11:22 4
      - A cop not pulling you over for going 58 in a 55 MPH zone is an example of discretion -- nm - amoxy Mar 27, 11:34
