Ex- military donaters?

[Times Roman]

I donate.

I don't trust those questions. Some are too political. I think one of the questions is, "have you ever had sex with another man?"

WTF? Who cares? it is a very poorly written question, imho. Instead, they should be more focused on whether or not they have been exposed to HIV and not the gender of one's sex partners.

Another question that should have been retired many years ago is whether any time was spent in Europe. This is a "Mad Cow's Disease" question, as the incubation period could be up to 20 years. But it's been 30 years since I've lived in Europe. So why should I automatically be disqualified for living somewhere 30 years ago?

Several years ago, I decided I'd begin donating. Some of those questions are blatantly paranoid or ignorant.

Come on now dude, HIV and AIDS are a huge risk with unprotected gay sex. That's why the next question is usually share needles while doing drugs! Who would takebblood from people who gamble with there life
