There is a higher risk of infection with IV drug users, but I don't see you supporting a ban on them? What about if I slept with a fairly promiscuous girl once, Why am I not banned? Or how about the gay man who has been in a monogamous relationship for 40 years, he still deserve a ban?

Making a ban that targets a specific demographic just because of some social title applied to them is wrong. Applying a ban based on specific credible scientific data is fine.
I agree with the fundamental points being made here.

i understand the fundamental reasoning behind the ban

after all, the anus is not designed for penetration
there are higher chances of small tears forming, and therefore a higher chance of STDs spreading

however, safe sex ideals are increasingly popular in gay communities, and therefore, the risk should be reduced

Heterosexuals are not the only ones to engage in such practices. Is there any concern over heterosexual women that have engaged in anal sex within the past year? If not, why not?

I also don't trust that every blood sample is tested and know for a fact that there are breakdowns in every system. Simply put, I believe this policy is unnecessarily putting their nation's blood supply at risk to appease homos and idiotic leftists who wish to appear "tolerant". It's idiotic and dangerous.
Excellent point I could not agree more Sea Demon

Replace "homo" with 'black" and it is suddenly a blast from the past. :shifty:

This thread went from edgy to revolting in less that three pages; what must be a new record here on SubSim. After reading it, I think I need a shower.

Homo is Latin.

"Homo's" is derogatory.

As someone who is legally barred from donating blood, and owes his life to a total blood transfusion, it makes me angry to see people blocked from doing a noble and generous thing for reasons that are no longer valid.

It makes me angrier when such blockades are supported for ugly reasons.

Much of this is based on old values, and not quite consistent with current sense.

It was not all that long ago when people used to worry about getting a black person's blood.

I think people should be given a choice. If they are bleeding to death, the doctor should take the time to ask them whether they want to accept blood that may come from a homosexual (or even a black homosexual) or whether they choose to bleed to death.

It is the only fair way.

What if they are unconscious? Give them blood, and when they wake up ask them if they want to keep it?

Sailor Steve 09-09-11 07:04 PM
You know that if you recieve blood from a woman you'll turn gay.

It's an established fact.









:O: :D
