There are plenty of heteros out there who rarely if ever get themselves tested, and slap on a rubber just to stop a baby from being made, if even that. If you keep your testing up to date, practise safe sex, I don't see any issue, and frankly you will be ahead of the game. Edit: In any event, this whole thing is more about the right to be honest, not about the ability of men who have sex with men to donate blood. Because, mitigating circumstances aside, it really is just an honour system. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Increasing? Naw. People are people and have been since we began. Sometimes you notice it more, and in this age of social media, cameras in phones, and the ability to spread gossip instantly, it becomes more noticeable. But I doubt it can be said people are MORE irresponsible Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

You are missing the point. Yes, there is a higher risk of gay men having it. But there are enough heteros getting HIV that they are a risk group too, now. So the screening system has to be changed to something better than "we'll check these people but wont worry about these people".

They don't allow blood from men who have had sex with men. :( Same myopic issue. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

The risk of HIV in heterosexual men and women is much higher than it used to be. Which renders the whole "one source of blood is less risky than others" argument balderdash. Either your system of screening the blood works and is used across the board, or it doesn't work, and you are taking chances whether the donor is gay or not.

Employment drug testing is not permitted here in Ontario. Huzzah! From the Ontario Human Rights Commission: Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Edit: language may not be safe for work. Definitely not safe for work if you work for a cable company. Yep.. That is about right. http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20130904/10575524401/youtube-takes-down-hilarious-mock-cable-ad-over-totally-bogus-defamation-claim.shtml Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

THe milk is intended to be shared by all. By taking it and keeping it for onesself, I believe it is theft. Obviously no-one will go to jail for it, but it is still pretty shoddy form. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

Who will see this? http://io9.com/first-trailer-robocop-trailer-shows-off-robocops-brand-1260308550 At first I thought of this as yet another in a long sting of attempts by Hollywood to capitalize on old successes by doing a remake. A remake that simply did not need to be done. The original was a classic. Violent and gory? Yes. Funny? Hell yeah. But more than that, it was a satire of modern commercialization, corrupt politics, and corporate culture. It reflected its times beautifully. I have been hearing some compelling reasons to go see it though. So I am willing to entertain the idea... Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

I used to perform horse stunts every day in a show. One of them was to jump off the horse while it was charging at a full canter. If you know what you are doing, it is reasonably safe. But it still scared the crap out of me each time. And each time I would psych myself up by singing a bad ass tune to myself to make me feel a little tougher. It helped a lot. My song was War Pigs.

Sure! But I have my doubts that when the US government said "lets go in there and stop chemical weapons" they were saying "Lets aid heart eating rebels". And as far as I know, they would get antsy if the rebels were using chemical weapons too. Why drive myself crazy trying to be normal, when I am already at crazy?

My understanding is that the US government wants to perform strikes to discourage the use of chemical weapons... am I wrong? If that is the case, then it is not the people fighting in the civil war that are the protectees, but rather the innocent bystanders and civilians who are trying to stay out of the fighting, but would get hurt or killed by chemical weapons.

I guess I'd just be curious and ask. But aside from that, I am glad you got out safe and sound, and that you are jumping safely! Nice work
