    don't you think if you were a "real man" you'd be able to get over it?

    especially to help save others' lives?

    Lol, I don't know. Being a real man means knowing what I want and don't want. I don't really "try" to be as "manly" as I can. I just try to be myself which happens to be very manly.

    Yeah I have a problem with how many people there are anyways, losing blood can't be healthy. I help people countless other ways that I don't have to sacrifice myself literally.

    i think of it as getting an oil change kinda

    i smoke enough pot to soak my blood up with THC and CO2 that i could use a freshly made pint every now and then

    good for me and good for them
    cuz, yea my blood might have a little THC in it (heaven forbid), but it's better than being dead right?

    Blood donation is a well examined field with healthy donors in their 80's who've been doing it for 50 years. If you're scared of needles that's fine, but don't try to rationalize a phobia into something unsafe about blood donations.

    What other ways do you help people?

    I think Dacre is justified. He did it pretty well, I was just about to do it for them. You can't try putting the same guilt trip on people. That's just wrong.

    And what the fuck would be the point of an Mp 15? To shoot the people you give blood too? Like you're gonna sell your plasma, buy a gun with it, shoot the fucker that got your plasma, and take back your plasma?

    Sounds like a good scam!!

    Ok. I don't know mabey I will do it sometimes in my life just to say I have. But yeah porkstock is right, blood is to oil as cars are to people. Its what makes us work.

    I help people out with whatever they ask, give people jump starts, when I pick up hitchhikers I smoke them out, I always give money to those chairity jars in stores, Hell one time I just gave a bum 20 bucks no shit.

    HOLY SHIT

    i kid you not. i'm tripping right now so this is a little crazy

    the red cross just called me as i'm reading this thread
    asking if i want to donate platelets

    i think i might do it
    takes 2.5 hours though. and takes two arms, that's where they return like a saline solution into your veins...


    but isn't that a coincidence?!

    i told the guy on the phone

    he said it was the universe telling me to come in and donate whenever i'm ready

    Guilt tripping someone into doing something good isn't wrong. Maybe not very effective.

    It is just a coincidence IMO. That guy was a good salesman though. Or blood harvester. I like the sound of that.

    See thats just annoying when people call you asking for money. Mabey if a bum asks me personally, but other than that I like giving when people don't ask for anything.
