Are all blood donors idiots or am I just a cunt?

Lets think about this. You donate blood. The evidence around shorter life span, internal organ damage/aging is soundly proven from donating blood. Though doctors don't like to talk about it.

Then think about all the niggers, criminals, and faggots that our blood could save, vs the needy innocents who actually need it but cannot afford health care.

Blood donation is scam if you look at it like: they take your blood for free and they charge wads of cash to the recipient (of which you see nothing). You don't even know who it's going to. You don't get to decided if it goes to a little dying child or some rape ape who was shot by cops and managed to make it back to the hospital.

I would happily give my blood to someone who needs it, but then it's going straight out of my arm into theirs then and there. Most importantly I get to decide if they are worthy of my blood as it directly effects my own physical health.

How does poal feel about arm to arm blood transfusions and blood donations?

I am a universal donor, so these thoughts weigh on me some times.

-- edit -- I cannot find the medical journals on stuff about long term organ damage/aging. So I retract that because I don't have sources. I guess chalk it up to settled science for now.

Source. For each. In at least duplicate to avoid (((replication crisis))).

Going to retract my statement until I find what it.

Ive never looked in to the idea that donating blood damages or ages your internal organs, I've always heard the opposite, so now youre going to make me go down a fucking rabbit hole. Thank. You. Very. Little.

I was an avid donor for about a decade, and plasma too. Needed the money, shit excuse but it was an excuse non the less. I never really felt bad or anything and at the time was active in my daily life with working out and playing sports. I never felt like i was missing a step or anything like that, when i started working more hours and having a family i just lost time.

So, no off i go so see if i fucked up my shit.

Funny. I never thought about this but girls lose blood every month, and they live longest.

Also I read about some condition than most men over 55 get, and they don't realize it. it's where you have too much iron in your blood, and the only way to get it out is to bleed, and that's why so many men have this problem and not women, they suppose, because women lose it over a lifetime with their periods and are rejuvenating with new blood that doesn't have iron in it. Men, are walking around with their cozy ass lifestyle, not even haven cut themselves on paper in the last 10 years, unknown to them, are storing all this iron inside of them, which messes things up.

Look it up. The treatment is literally, bloodletting.

Haha work with your hands, or outdoors and you will get cut. I'm lucky if week goes by where I don't have some wound on my hands. Granted, the blood loss is still minimal.
Thr last time I got cut seriously was probably 10 years ago though. I was bushwhacking in a river canyon when a bear came out of nowhere on the other side and entered the water towards me. I hastily tucked my pruning shears in a back pocket and climbed up my side of the canyon wall. It was early July, and while the riverbed was nicely shaded, climbing up about about 70 feet put me in full sun and I began sweating from the exertion and fear. With one hand on a tree root, I turned around to spot the bear only to realize I'd tucked my shears in blade up and open, and cut right across my wrist veins on the other hand. Blood and sweat fell on the stones as I searched for some cloth in my pack to tie up my wrist.
I stayed up on the canyon wall for 10-15 minutes until I heard the bear exit the water and go back the way it came.
If I look closely, I can still see a faint scar there.

Women don't bleed their entire life - it stops somewhere usually between 45 and 55.

It's also not as much as blood donation takes, usually. I'm a heavy bleeder but I don't think I bleed enough in a week to fill the bag, certainly not in one day.

People abusing steroids, most notably bodybuilders, have to regularly donate blood to get rid of all the extra red blood cells they produce.

Leeches?

Doctors will draw blood with a needle, once they figure out iron count. It only takes a month or 2 of drawing blood every couple of weeks correct the ailment.

I have read, there are leeches used in some societies. Just not the one you live in.

That's what pisses me off the most. They get you with the "its healthy for you to lose pints of blood every month or so", they make all their money by guilt tripping people into doing the "good" thing. Pisses me off to no end.

I distrust and hate most doctors.

So what did you find out?

It's not looking good really. When you're a pint down it stresses your vital organs but forces new blood cell growth. So if what I'm seeing is those who give every 6 to 8 weeks have a higher chance of damaging their organs. However there are some health benefits to giving blood about once every 4 to 5 months because you are getting rid of some old blood and make new blood cells. But plasma. That's a different beast all together. I won't be doing that anymore.

Help us white people!

Sickle cell disease requires up to 100,000 people to have blood transfusions every year and 98% of those affected by this disease come from an African descent.

Mediterraneans get thallasemia, very similar to sickle cell. Sickle Cell is a bitch of a disease by the way.

I was curious about the claim that donating blood shortens your lifespan so I looked it up. Got the jew bullshit I expected. Apparently it not only doesn't shorten your lifespan but increases it. Motherfuckers just can't resist.

It makes sense that donating would increase life as it promotes regular creation of new blood and uses the cardio system for a thing it doesn't use for anything other than negligible loss through bile.

OP is a spam thread but I can't place my finger on it.

Don't care what you think. Just a late night thread fueled with a bit of resentment and red wine.

Donating blood never made sense to me as far as the cost/benefit/risk analysis goes. You're sticking a needle into my vein? There's a chance that something goes wrong. $50 bucks doesn't nearly cover the risk nor my time.
