Reply To: Why I'm never giving blood again. By popa.

Give blood, don’t give blood, it’s your prerogative, but to come out on a public forum and keep defending a position that people are telling you is offensive is babyish and you might need to look into counseling to help you figure out social cues. Giving blood or not is a choice and you are absolutely free to make your own choice, but you’re not free to make offensive comments such as – “bloodsucking jews”, “you can all go to blazes” “I’ll mix it into my own blazing matza” without expecting some backlash. Dude, you’re not funny.

Oh, so now you say that you were really just responding to me calling you “bloodsucking jews” and the other offensive stuff I said.

I’m perfectly happy to take abuse for that. I wrote that to be funny, and there’s nothing I’d like more than to be told I am being offensive. That was precisely the response I was looking for.

But, I am not happy to be told that you want me to continue giving you my blood, and that not only don’t you have to thank me for it, but you have the gall to give me mussar about how I should be happy to do it.

Squeak: I certainly think the thread is funny. And I haven’t stopped trying to put funny things in my responses. But it’s gotten pretty serious. I really am dismayed by the responses; I hope all these people get some counseling before they think about becoming parents.
