Filth & Large Amounts Revisited

So it really depends on personal feeling. So for someone like
you who I assume does not normally cut himself, how much blood would be
considered "large" for you. This may give me an idea of what I would
consider large. "Large" for me seems like something that I could
contain with a small napkin or tissue but would bleed through the napkin
and take some time to stop. What is your personal feeling of
"large"?

On one of end of the spectrum: scratches and shallow cuts bleed little
staunch pretty quickly, and I think almost all of us would consider that
"small".
And on the other end: slicing your feet from walking on broken glass is
likely to be deep and long and take a while to staunch, and I think almost
all of us would consider that "large".
But then again, Americans may be an extreme case: the news is always
bloodless and we never see animals getting slaughtered.
Not much of an answer, but this is something I'd prefer not to test
empirically.
