Oh no thats just me being a mug again showing people a weak side of me.
Just be thankful i am saying sorry FULLSTOP!
i will make sure that i am perfect everytime i think, or even breathe!
I am sure he will, but not under my name, if i do not agree with a point, i would rather not have it against my name, if someone does not like the post it is my fault i am not happy with that.
But like i said i will have to make sure no one posts under my name, i will just have to sign out everytime i use it!
I'm not having a go at her, I've made that quite clear.
I agree with what you say in this post, but the way you originally said it wasn't very nice.
they cant ask you if your gay!
theyve stopped previous recipients giving blood due to chances of vCJD which are minimal and depsite the fact previous blood recipients are the biggest donors
Idiot.
The simple fact is that homosexuals are at much higher risk of contracting either HIV or Hepatitis B. Quite rightly the National Blood Service feel that accepting the blood from homsexuals is too high a risk- there is no such thing as safe sex.
In Melbourne five years ago a five-year-old girl died from a contaminated blood transfusion. Do you want to go and tell the parents of that girl that the NBS are being homophobic for minimising risk?
Its true, you can't give blood if you are gay. Which is crap IMO.
Seeing as the greatest rise in HIV infections is in the heterosexual population at the moment (iirc).
The rise of STDs in heterosexuals is shooting up, that's true.
It's unfortunate that the NBS cannot screen better, but I have to support the NBS because gay people (and women who have slept with men who have slept with men) do carry a risk, and in terms of blood transfusions any risk is too high a risk.
It isn't homophobia, because prostitutes and those who inject themselves with drugs cannot donate either. It's risk assessment, like with the ban on those who have received donations since 1983, and anybody who decries the NBS for taking risk assessment is a fool.
What is the relevance of basic 'human emotions' here??
I'm flummoxed really. Don't you think love is a basic human emotion?
he's being awkwad basically
Tell me ANY nation in the world which grants its citizens a 'right to love'?
But at the moment the amount of heterosexuals with HIV/AIDS is more than the amount of homosexuals with HIV/AIDS.
The national blood bank discounts gay people even if they have not practised any forms of unsafe sex AT ALL. Whereas with heterosexual people they are allowed if they have practised safe sex. Explain the difference to me.
I myself have never slept with a man and have never practised unsafe sex(of the other kind) but I am not allowed to give blood. How is this right?
Question 11:
Are you a man who has had oral or anal sex with another man(even if you used a condom)?
(yes to the former no to the later and yes i did use a condom)
Thank you for your time but it seems you are not able to give blood.
But then again the 'liberals' (whoever they are) and the rest of us don't advocate waging illegal wars on every regime/religion we disagree with.
The invasion of Iraq has so far cost the lives of nearly 40,000 people. Protesting against homophobic lyrics has cost no lives I can think of. Are you seriously comparing the two? :rolleyes:
Aids was in US/UKmainly a gay ilness, that's changing, NHS should err on side of caution not worry on hurt feelings of a tiny number of gays who feel prejudiced against
And one thing is to condemn what we perceive as wrong, and another is to wage a WAR, which is the single biggest atrocity any human being/people could unleash on another, to "correct" their sense of morals.
Can't you really tell the difference?
You had a bad experience, that does not mean that all homosexual relationships are 'wrong'.
I ask again, what difference does it make to YOU whether I go to bed with a man or woman?
Where have I incited violence?
Bit rich anyway, coming from an inciter of racial hatred.
People who were referred before me probably. You got a problem with that?
So the Taliban were repressive. So what?
THAT is no excuse to attack them. The US attacked them because they were harbouring terrorists.
