Giving blood is a good deed, give life so they say. Unfortunately the travelling vampire troupes don't like the taste of the cannaboids in my blood and exempt me from this morally cleansing process.
I've seen it in office canteens and college sports halls, lines and lines of white gurneys each with a pale looking civilian prone upon it. The red stuff being pumped out of 100 arms simultaneously, nutrious plasma coated in millions of little red cells, hurtling from warm vein to cold syringe into clear turning-scarlet bag, thick and slippy.
Then it lays there in blood banks, hundreds of them lay awaiting, like props for Night of The Red Bloody Terror 17, soon to swill around dissected bodies, upon operating tables, splashing on surgeons sleeves and sterile masks. Flooding bodily cavities that you will never suspect of having, rushing around inside you blood of one hundred different people mixing and flowing with yours. Maybe you'll end up runing on someone elses blood entirely, say 4pints of johns 2 of sues and 1 of bobbies.
Some Tribal people used to eat the hearts of their enemies after battles believing that the dead warriors attributes will be granted to them. What if you get a lazy guys blod. Or a paedo, god forbid a muslim radical. Or a radical Muslim Paedo! Save us mommy.
I don't know if muslims give blood but the BNP better look out for that one, do you think they know that there hardest racist warriors of the white mans cause are getting their open wounds washed out with an Asian mans blood. They would cry to think of all those lives saved by African blood. Do you think they ask what colour the arm it came form was before they have that life saving operation?

Well you have enough smart stuff to say on your own blog without making me look dumb on here thank you very much!
But yeah on a serious note I have never given blood and don't think I ever will and I class myself as a pretty selfless person so the motives sort of escape me as well. I think its similar to organ donation, as in you don't really need all those lungs and kidneys when your dead and you don't really need all that blood when you're alive so why not part with a little. Not that that sentence explains anything!

"Rice in your hair looks like lice." Exactly speaking... it looks like 'eggs of lice', which I think are nits, but you have the full poetic license here...
An excellent read!-

I once contemplated giving blood but I then realised you didn't get paid for the pleasure and there ended my contemplation of the subject.
This is a very good post, I wish I had something smart to say about it...but really, why do you think people actually give blood? I mean, are some people really that selfless and altruistic? Baffles me.
