Been to the blood bank yesterday to donate blood. Quick test showed I could not donate this time. Iron was at 134 but must be 135 or above to donate. It’s probably due to surgery I had last month, and now i’ve been advised to wait 6 months. Somehow It makes me feel a bit sad and guilty.

    People in the USA don’t deserve my blood, so they don’t get it.

        At this point, I think at this point anyone whose feet are in America is a fascist and a bigot.

                But your opinion of my ignorance is subjective, and from where I’m standing, you look like the ignorant one.

                  Your earlier opinion is factually false. You continue to assert it is true. That’s objectively ignorant.

                  I’m going to assume it is willful ignorance because I’d like to think someone in an often maligned group, such as LGBTQ+ would know what it’s like to be wrongfully lumped into a group you don’t belong to, with attributes and values you do not carry.

                  You lumping every American as the same is no better than what racists do, what bigots do, what ICE does, what Zionists push, or what magats spew. If that’s truly what you are and how you think, then you are being exactly what you accuse all Americans of being.

                    Yawn, angry because your country is falling apart so you yell at people who want to make the world better. Such smart amerikkkans

                    Midterms are less than a month away. Prove me wrong.

          And this is just as stupid. Not everyone has the ability to move, and there are many of us who are fighting to try and change things.

          Claiming everyone in a county is the same as their government is just waving your stupid flag for everyone to see.

            They aren’t the SAME. They just get to suffer for doing nothing. Staples is having a sale on cardboard, you can use it for a picket sign on one side and another that says “homeless anything helps”

            Go vote, and complain to the PROBLEM, not me, magat.

              Lol, chucklefuck, I do vote. Its cute that you think America is nothing but monsters and everyone who isn’t just sits on their ass all day.

              Learn about the real world and get back to us once you’ve graduated middle school :D

                You’re just upset you live in America and you’re lashing out because it’s easier to yell at me than do something about it.

                Vote next month.

      My dude, there’s certainly a lot of things other countries can justifiably act all superior about when comparing themselves to the US.

      But in this case, if your country isn’t letting you donate blood because you’re gay, I think it’s pretty safe to say that in this case the US is doing something better than your country.

      So given that context you look kind of stupid getting on your high horse here.

        You wish I was your dude. I’m referring to my time in the USA. Although I no longer live there today.
