Bonneville America Forums Forums Off Topic Discussion Forums Lounge Starving people and Chinese organ harvesting

Okay, I am not a frequent poster here, but i do need to speak up. As the title of this proves, there are worse things in the world than a limit on topics in an internet forum. This site has been great to me... it helped me make decisions on purchasing my speedmaster, troubleshooting issues with my speedmaster, and even helped with my friends bike troubles, and it's a Honda... I feel fortunate to have stumbled on to such a site and that it has been provided at NO COST to us... although I am sure contributions are appreciated. ANYWAYS, regardless as to how you feel about the "New Ban", Sit back and think, do you have enough to eat? a roof over your head? friends? Life is pretty good when you think about it... Just use the forum in the manner that the provider intends and if you want to "discuss" other topics, Try a personal message or email, then the intended party can decide for themselves what is appropriate and what is not, or better yet, start your own site. I think everyone has made their points, now... There are things you can change and things you can't... focus on changing what you can and you will worry a little less about what you can't.

And finally... Thank you to all who have helped me or provided any of the valuable information on this site. I look forward to learning more and hopfully being able to contribute as well.

I'm out of breath.

Wait, how can there be starving people in China? I ate all my peas and carrots and such when I was a kid. (RE: mothers harping on kids to eat their veggies because people in China are starving.)

Starvation is just Nature's way of weeding out the surplus population. Sheesh, nothing wrong with that, is there?

And as for organ harvesting; if I need a kidney and some poor, starving individual has a spare he wants to sell, I don't think my offering him a couple of bucks is wrong. Why, with that money, he could probably retire from the Nike sweatshop and buy a motorcycle. Of course, he'd have to make sure he didn't damage his one remaining kidney in some hideous accident - maybe ploughing into a line of starving beggars.

See, I really DO care!

Siggy

I am sure you do care, but unfortunately for some Chinese, they aren't asked or paid for their organs ... bad deal. Good deal if you are a match and need an organ. Guess it is all in how you look at it... But mostly... This is a good site so we should respect the rules set forth by it's creator and assigned moderators. (Not directed at you Siggy, just making sure I maintain the integrity of my original statement)

Greybeard... what can i say... you are a funny guy.

Oh, so Greybeard is funny and I'm not, eh? He eats his vegetables and I don't, so I'm a bad person, yes? Well, let me tell you - I heard that GB only offered one dollar for a kidney AND sometimes he leaves broccoli on the plate. Allegedly.

And hey, I'd be willing to go up to five bucks if the match was perfect.

Siggy

Yeah, your funny too now ... GB must have a better publicist.

Hahahahahahaha...Stop it....Hahahahahahahaha...You guys are making my kidneys hurt...Hahahahaha...???...WAIT A MINUTE!!!...WHERE ARE MY KIDNEYS!?!?!?!?!...Aaaaaiiiieeeeee!!!!!


(Cue shower scene music from 'Psycho' now.)

Hmmm, okay, so as long as one is fat and happy, cared for the ( by whoever ), then free speech really isnt necessary. Okay, if it works for you, good.
