Sweden

[Vastator]

I’m unwilling to give blood, unless I have control over who gets to benefit by its use.

Good for you. Your humanity shines like a beacon.

That’s the kindest thing you’ve ever said...

He's talking about Sweden, not Switzerland.

Oh, yeah. They don't even border each other. lol.

Well, they're both Europe, little miss smarty pants.

Voted informative because you so suh mart.

In Sweden blood donors get a text when their donation saves a life. Just imagine the amazing buzz that would give you ?

In the UK you get a badge after a few donations and I think you get a tie after 50 pints.

Sweden leads the way.

How does it work in the States ? I understand that you get paid for blood ?

Our community hospital has a special bus that moves around, place to place, for blood donations. It comes around to our neighborhood every eight weeks, which is the minimum time between donations. They give you water or juice and some cookies. We did get t-shirts once with a special blood donor logo. No cash payments.

I've never received a penny for the blood I've donated, and I've donated gallons. I didn't do it for a pat on the back or a congratulatory text, I didn't do it to make myself feel better or alleviate any type of guilt, I didn't do it to make myself feel superior to the person who doesn't donate. I couldn't possibly care less about those things. I did it because it's the right thing to do.

You have an obvious disdain for America and all of its trappings, little Taint, why don't you post somewhere else?

I am going to Sweden to give blood just so I canexperience this.

You would.

Ive never been paid either. But I never tried to use that to make me feel superior.
Celebrate Sweden and its achievements not your litlle axe.

Lucky for you, in the event you ever need blood, no one has that kind of control...

Sure they do. Don’t donate it to begin with...

How do you explain the gulf between yourself and Vastators attitude towards this. Both you and your families benefit from blood donation. Why so you see it and he/she doesnt ?

Why doesn't surprise me that you failed to comprehend the content of my post? Ignorance is your strong suit.

Maybe.I think he is just striving for effect. He hasnt thought it through,or he is incapable of thought. A lot of my family members have had operations and needed injections. Giving blood is a small way of paying back.

 

[Vastator]

In the event that a friend or family member, or even a person I wouldn’t mind helping needs my blood; I’m available...

I donate blood once or twice a year. I don't expect a participation trophy.

You save lives.You should get recognition for that.

Thanks, but I really don't need the recognition. I do it for my Mother.

 

[Billy_Kinetta]

Dunno. I, for one, however, appreciate the fine workmanship and accuracy of a Swiss mechanical watch. You guys definitely set the standard there.

Also, they produced H. R. Giger, one of the pre-eminent surrealists of the 20th Century. Points also for that.

Heh. That's right.

And, apparently, aliens are dickheads. How long do you think it'll take for ol Giger's world famous art to be banned from USMB?

He's talking about Sweden, not Switzerland.

Yes we know, but a Swiss timepiece was mentioned, hence the segue.

I am sure that she would be proud.
