i don't see how anyone can be so proud of such ignorant personal beliefs that they almost brag about them like some kind of personalizing, quirky trait. "oh, that jim! he sure does hate those niggers!" *slap knee, cue laugh track* like, i wonder how many people wouldn't so proudly flaunt their absurdly failed logic if they had any idea how tasteless it truly was.
organ donation is very important to me. just fucking do it. chances are, you'll die of old age or some other condition that renders your organs unfit for donation so you won't even end up parting with them anyway. when you're dead, you're dead. you're not going to suffer further damage if someone takes a kidney or two.
i understand if you have religious or health reasons that prevent you from making the decision to be a voluntary organ donor and that's cool, that's your right. but to selfishly decline organ donation "because [you] grew them and they're [yours]"? not only that but to BRAG about it? fuck you. that's bullshit. you're bullshit.
if you're worried about receiving inadequate health care so that you might be killed off for your organs, also fuck you. it's not like you're going to be rushed in from a car wreck and pumped full of potassium cyanide as soon as they see the red heart on your license. when shit like that happens, it's because the patient has lapsed ambiguously into a persistent vegetative state. if that happens to me, fuck it. pull the plug and put my heart in someone else's chest. take a second to be rational and think of how statistically infrequently dubious goings on like that ACTUALLY happen then also consider the statistical improbability of finding yourself in that exact same situation. will you wind up being prematurely harvested for your organs? no you goddamn will not.
the same thing goes for people who won't donate blood without any medical or religious reason preventing them. i'm sorry, but it takes like half an hour and you get free cookies. if you're worried about passing out, eat something beforehand. if you're worried that it's going to hurt, yes it will... for maybe two seconds. you know what sucks more? dying because your blood type isn't available, something completely avoidable.
i don't even fucking like people and i still do this shit. seriously, come on.
