Bushwacker, thanks for posting.
Interesting news site -- there's a "comments" section right below the article.
Check out the several comments of "Nigel E.j. Griffiths," a Brit apparently living in Sweden. Hilarious!

Is the double "SS" in the name Persson pronounced as though the speaker had a lisp?

Interesting? No wonder Swedish Prime Minister Göran Persson is sympathetic to gay men.

I'm OK with that, as long as they can only donate to Swedes, Democrats, Socialists, Islamo-fascists and commies.

Men, who use prostitutes (that includes female prostitutes), are also at risk of carrying HIV and developing AIDS.
Sexual promiscuity is the major risk factor for AIDS.

***That is why there is a "Spell" button next to the "Preview" and "Post" buttons!***
True, and no offense to the FR Webmaster but the default spell checker is pretty weak as spell checkers go. For Explorer there's an application called ieSpell Check and for Firefox I use the Spellbound extension (you also download a companion dictionary), which are much better and powerful spell check tools.

Correct. That's why the Red Cross and other blood drive managers ask you to fill out a questionnaire covering this exact issue. If you pay for sex or if you've had sex with another male, you're out.

"besides the spell checkers are prolly still sleeping..."
Nope, I'm up, spell checker at hand. So what does "prolly" really mean? Is that ebonics spelling?

Well, it definitely isn't ebonics.
Being you are an old fart geezer like me, I will give you another guess.
BTW .... two out of nine ain't bad and some are better than none. Grandkids that is. ;)

I just read the comments. It would like to say that I am amazed by many of the comments but unfortunately I am not.
The posters' Nigel E.j. Griffiths and Swedeofile are disagreeing with the PM statement and are very rational in their reasoning. All the other posters are attacking them personally. Homophobe, Neanderthal, etc. Leftists are all the same no matter what country they live in.

I imagine translations from Swedish are difficult. Quite the opposite, the grammar, syntax and vocabulary of Scandinavian languages is similar to English. The bizarre thing about Sweden, though, is that most people speak perfect English, about half have Midwestern and the other half British accents.

I'm fine with gays donating blood, as long it is to a separate entity from all other blood organizations, so that there can be no mix-up, and if it is boldly labeled as being from a gay donor.
Let's see how many doctors and patients want to use it.

My spelling sucks.
I could be wrong but..... your first error was a transposition. The second error was an omission. A fine point though on my part. You knew what the mistake was, as soon as you read your post.
Now to the homosexual "rights". Yeah, I knew it,the quick retorts coming. As I quickly scrolled down, someone challenged Persson to accept a homosexual's blood. Oh, I could insist the same, but jolly old Persson- he gets no respect, probably operates on the adage- "do as I say, not as I do".
In this unfortunate Persson had to have a blood transfusion, he would say ,soto voce, "make my transfusion from a white anglo-saxon heterosexual male, to show fairness. No, I refuse Sir Eltons offer,save it". LOL
To: Bushwacker777
Yeah sure, let them donate blood and while the prime idiot minister is at it he should allow heroine and meth junkies donate too, of course after they stop swapping dirty needles. (sarcasm)

Don't they test all donated blood, anyway? I certainly hope they do.

Apparently not since I personally know a family whose father went in the hospital for cancer treatments, had complications, required blood and he got Hep C tainted blood transfusion. Nice huh. Gasp

The blood is tested, but often the HIV testable antigens aren't yet present. Additionally, we tend to forget that homosexual men have a higher incidence of other STD's that are fatal to the recipient of a transfusion. CytoMegloVirus, Hepatitis B and C are a few that come to mind.
