Huh, odd that they don't advertise it more then. Probably make the notion of selling it get less of a rep of desperate people needing money and more similar to donating blood as an altruistic thing, so you get more involved.

Because you can put in those equal rights laws and enforce them, along with all the various other things like building roads and schools and such. To think you can just outlaw racism and such is foolish though. You would be trying to literally tread into thought police territory there.

Don't recall where I indicated any of them where controversial, care to point it out? I simply pointed that this complaint of 'no progress' is ignoring some pretty major progress over the years.

And maybe they're ignoring things like the civil rights movement, the original implementation of Roe, the progress of the LGBT community and all the other society changes that have happened in that same time.

You done flew that squid into a cloud of reactionaries who get real uppity if their vision of things doesn't happen by 3 months ago. A story about what a political twat said MIGHT happen is suddenly priority #1 amongst all the other things the POTUS has to deal with on the daily.

Wonder if they could save some time and not put the rest back, just give it to a zoo to feed vampire bats or something... 🤔

I've only donated a few times but from what I recall you can donate blood or sell plasma. Always struck me as weird but the difference is that they use the whole blood medically while the plasma only is used for research or commercial purposes. We do love to make a market for near everything possible here.

As for how much, not sure exactly since I haven't done so myself but I get the impression it's not huge, maybe $20-$50 each time.

Have to say that was a damn refreshing change from the vacant look and feel in the debate. May be far from perfect but I take that over the raving lunatic with an R by them any day.

That'd be the liberal indoctrination machine at work you see. No it has nothing to do with world experience and exposure to ideals outside the conservative bubble. That's just commie talk.

Just what would the point of that be? Are folks really that concerned about some high score where they feel a need to engage in reciprocal voting?

Israel wants to get some gold star for agreeing to send systems the US provided to Ukraine now? What kind of PR lunacy is going on here.
