If its my wound, i don´t really care, would probably just strap some kind of fabric in it if its raw meat and might get infected if exposed too much, or just grab some toilet paper and press until it stops if it isn't too much, hell, if its from a mosquito bite ( i tend to scratch until i get a scab and rip it out every time it grows) i just let it flow and taste it from time to time
if its someone else's wound, raw meat makes me dizzy and almost faint (a worker almost got ran over by a bus on his way here riding a bike and had a good portion of his hand, leg and arm in the raw)
if its a cut, i don´t particularly care, maybe ask what happened
if its smaller i care even less
if its from gore in the Internet, movies that are too bloody or other kind of media, i see it as if i was looking at the picture of a flower, not really any emotion actually (unless its the killing of someone being recorded, that gives me the creeps trying to imagine what he was feeling/thinking while being killed).
thats how i react.

Does anybody here remember that scene in Fairly Oddparents where Timmy's Dad finds out that Timmy's the goatnapper, so he shrieks like a little girl and feints? Yeah, that's kind of my reaction to blood. Only real blood, though. Movie blood doesn't affect me at all.
i've no idea
not that i haven't had an opportunity to be around it, more that the experiences i've had have yielded conflicting results... sliced my hand open pretty good, basically went into shock - can only hear a high pitched ringing, silver edging on my vision, etc
then a seperate time, sliced my thumb deeply while cutting veggies, so put a plastic glove on and kept going. now, this is a glove with the powder on the inside, and i hadn't done anything to stop the bleeding, so when i took the glove off a half hour later, my entire hand was covered in a congealed layer of blood and powder, and i thought it was the coolest thing ever
apart from that, my only experiences have been when giving blood, at which point i found it rather fascinating...
so who knows

I have no real reaction to blood. It's just blood. I generally prefer that my blood stays inside of me, but that's just because it's healthier that way. Needles though, needles freak me out. I almost jumped out of my skin the first time I gave blood when the girl taking my blood goes: "Is this you're first time? Mine too!"
Seriously, I almost cried. I'm not as bad now as I used to be, when I was 5 years old and needed my shots for kindergarten it took 2 nurses and my mother to hold me still.

It depends, cuts on my fingers gross me out way more than other parts of my body for some reason. I was shaving my legs the other day and I got a suprisingly large cut, there was blood everywhere pouring out and I kept applying pressure with a flanel but it soaked through, I couldn't believe a shaving cut would do that. I didn't freak me out though. However cuts to fingers do and I have a severe phobia of any damage done to peoples wrist or neck veins.
If it's mine and it's bleeding more than I thought it would I get kinda dizzy, not sure why. If the blood belongs to someone else, It doesn't bother me at all.
Well it just depends I guess...
Caught my arm on some thorns? Sure it hurts like hell, but I'm not concerned.
7 inch gash on my arm from the same thorns? Now I'm a bit concerned.

I really don't care about it at all. If is see it, I don't react at all. In mass amounts, doesn't make me jump at all still. I fundamentally do not care about the sight.
Seeing gashes showing veins and bones though is a different story.

On myself, i drink it from small wounds and just stop the bleeding on big ones...
I also ALWAYS pick at scabs =P
Don't realy bother with others, unless it's serius.

Being the boy scout that I am, my first reaction is to get some sterilizing wipes/lotion and a bandage. It's actually gotten routine to the point that I can usually stop the bleeding and carry on a conversation/listen to a teacher at the same time.
Depends. depends on who's bleeding, depends on the situation that caused the bleeding, and over all just depends.
As to fainting stories, I knew a girl who I guess never saw blood, cause she went to be a nurse and when she first saw blood she passed out. she since changed her career to media.
to the plasters (guess you mean bandages), I usually let it dry heal if its minor.
