Millions of homosexual men are crying into their pillows every night because they can’t give blood. What a crock.

My daughter donates blood a lot and she has a friend who is gay and unable to donate. She was telling me how upset he was because he was unable to donate and I tried to explain it to her but she went on and on how unfair he felt it was and I told her he needed to get a grip. I really do not get why he was so upset

The answer's in bold. It is all narcissism. Keeping their feeeelings from being hurt is worth more than inflicting death and suffering on untold numbers of other people. If your daughter's friend could get over himself for a few minutes, he might avail himself of logic and understand the ban.

Yes prions are nasty little suckers aren't they.

There was an epidemic of mad cow in England in the 1980's. It was traced back to the practice of using downer cows as feed for healthy cattle for economic reasons. I don't know how much English beef is used in Europe or how prevalent mad cow was in the rest of Europe.

According to the NIH, there is currently no quick, accurate test for C-J. There are also a host of unknowns regarding prions, among them - do healthy carriers exist.

So the restriction may be the result of an abundance of caution, something that is obviously trumped by political correctness in the case of homosexuals.

Placemark. The homos and leftists want normal people to die of AIDS, it’s that simple.
