Default Re: i gave blood today

This is the kind of selflessly noble thing that entitles you to randomly punch a stranger in the face later.

I've always found this attitude curious. Don't get me wrong, I wish everyone would give blood because they ALWAYS need blood (something like 10% of the pop. gives 90% of the blood?), but it's not like it's that heroic or noble. If you make an appointment, it takes an hour out of your day every two months. It just takes so little effort, especially compared to the good it does.

Which, on the one hand, makes me surprised that so many people think it's some great deed to regularly give blood. On the other, it also makes me surprised that more people DON'T give blood. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
