Who would you never want to receive a pint of blood from?

[ReformedChapin]

Well...you should remember irony is a liberal tool to make REAL CHRISTIANS (tm) look bad.
tulc(want a cup of coffee FathersDaughter? newguy101? I've got plenty thanks to Pogue!)

But everyone is a Christian remember?

 

[tulc]

Depends, is it decaf?

Lord, I hope not!
tulc(hey sorry about getting your name wrong, I fixed it in the originl post!) :o

 

[tulc]

But everyone is a Christian remember?

Not everyone.
tulc(pouring some coffee, want some?)

 

[ReformedChapin]

Not everyone.
tulc(pouring some coffee, want some?)

Indeed

 

[UberLutheran]

Anybody whose blood type is NOT B-negative.

(And for that very reason, I've donated over 3 gallons. B-negative is HARD to get.)

 

[UberLutheran]

But everyone is a Christian remember?

Jews are Christians???

Wow. That means Muslims, Buddhists, Sikhs and Hindus are Christians, too!

That means we'll ALL go to Heaven!

 

[IamRedeemed]

Once again all you have is your general knowledge that you gained through life and the knowledge of the sexual lifestyles of the 5 donors. That is all you have to go on and can only eliminate one blood source.
Which one would you eliminate based on what you DO KNOW, not what YOU DON'T.


PS. (ALL FIVE are a TYPE BLOOD MATCH FOR YOU).

Well if a homosexual doesn't have any sort of diease or anything else bad I wouldn't mind having recieving blood for them. I can't wait until the ACLU makes a rumble at the FDA for this.

 

[IamRedeemed]

(ALL FIVE are a TYPE BLOOD MATCH FOR YOU, I figured this would go without saying since you have a choice between the 5 which to eliminate).

PS.......I am B-Negative just so you know ROFL!!!

You must have lied when they asked you if you have had sex with a man, since you do not claim to be a celebate homosexual. And don't say they never asked, as I am a blood donor (as well as have worked for several years in the medical field) and know better.

Anybody whose blood type is NOT B-negative.

(And for that very reason, I've donated over 3 gallons. B-negative is HARD to get.)

 

[IamRedeemed]

My option wasn't there either. If I was in a position where I needed to receive a pint of blood, I wouldn't care who it came from, as long as it made me healthy again. And I'd be extremely grateful to whoever had donated it.
(passes 2 gallons of coffee to tulc )

Well you see that's the point, there is no guarantee it is going to make you healthy, so based on health concerns that you know about that are attributed to lifestyles, which of the choices would you NOT want to receive blood from given the choice and the only information you have about each donor?

 

[JolieHeart]

I agree with Bianca. First have the donors get their blood tested. Forget the FDA, APA, and anything else dragged from under the carpet, my concern is with the testing. GBU all.

 

[IamRedeemed]

LOL.... "slappage" hehehe

If you have any spare coffee, you can send some my way, if you would be so kind....

I thought it was sort of amusing, not really a knee slapper myself, glad we agree on that. I wouldn't want to be accused of random knee slappage!

Just a habit I picked up before I came to CF, I find it can sometimes break the tension in an angry discussion.
tulc(and I can also mention coffee, which I like way to much!)

 

[IamRedeemed]

Possible? Yes. Probable? No....I believe cop-out is the more probable explanation.

You did the same thing. In fact several people did.

...or she could be giving an honest answer and you're wrong about what she thinks?
tulc(it does happen you know)

 

[IamRedeemed]

In this scenario, the world and circumstances aren't perfect, you are in a third world country in a tent.
It's not based on a reputable doctor or any reputable technology.

The decision is based solely on your personal knowledge of lifestyle choices and their effects and what your odds are based on the choices and you wanting to increase your odds, being given a choice, the info provided is the only information you have to go on, and it is assumable the blood type of all of the donors are a match. Based on that criteria, which blood would you not want to receive?

Whoop Whoop. Thank goodness somebody around here has their head screwed on the right way. What a good answer.



No, what she really means is exactly what she said. For some of us, what a person looks like on paper is not ground to pre-judge them. If I'm lying in hospital dying, my blood transfusions can come from the illegitimate child of a Martian and a moon-lady if a reputable doctor says its fine.

 

[tulc]

You did the same thing. In fact several people did.

Copped out? How so? You didn't have the option I could vote for. Who asks WHERE the blood comes from when you need it?
tulc(tries to not cop out if he can at all avoid it)

 

[BAFRIEND]

i did not vote.
my option wasn't there: "someone who has not done the tests you need to do before you donate blood"
it's that easy.

As easy as placing roses on Ryan's Whites grave ?

 

[Brieuse]

We're not allowed to donate blood here

 

[IamRedeemed]

Copped out? How so? You didn't have the option I could vote for.

tulc(tries to not cop out if he can at all avoid it)<---lol exactly.
avoid it = cop out

You asked a silly question as if the blood would be served at a bar, remember? That was the cop out.
Take the thread in a humorous direction=cop out.

Who asks WHERE the blood comes from when you need it?
That is part of the equation though. So, being honest, (after all you were voted the least likely to be a hypocrite by thefathersdaughter lol), given the factors of the equation, why not just answer the question? It is a fair question and an honest question, unlike the question, would we want to be alerted to a tornado by a gay, I mean come on! hahahahaha That is absurd to even ask a question like that, where this is actually realistic in getting to the heart of the issue and whether or not people who are pro-homosexual really believe that the homosexual lifestyle is safe for society and if it came down to it, would you refuse their blood if given an option. That is real. I can tell you that if I was a homosexual, I still would not want a homosexual's blood.

PS..I know the tornado question wasn't yours, so just want to state that for whomever is reading this..but my OP did elude to a thread on this board, and that was the one!

 

[IamRedeemed]

If you are a homosexual male, not here in the USA.

We're not allowed to donate blood here

Great answer. Makes no difference to me who the donor was.

 

[IamRedeemed]

Agreeing with Bianca isn't an option, if you are honestly approaching the poll. You are in a tent in a third world country where they do not have the means to test the blood. So the only thing you know about the blood is that you need some, and that each is a match for you and some info about the lifestyles of the donors. Based on that information and any general knowledge you may already possess is how you cast your vote.

I agree with Bianca. First have the donors get their blood tested. Forget the FDA, APA, and anything else dragged from under the carpet, my concern is with the testing. GBU all.
