Giving away my organs to another person after I'm dead makes no sense. I mean, I will be dead. The world might just as well end for all I care.  :huh:
Typical Pole. You people are all a bunch of nihilist-solipsists.
PDH!

Reckon you should give them away now. 
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

I said on EUOT that it would be reasonable to get paid for your organs, but people were all "no, you can't do that" blah blah faggots.

I guess you thought Audrey Tautou did better in Dirty Pretty Things than Amelie? :rolleyes:

The who in the what now?

Yeah, I have no idea where garbo is going with that.  Maybe there's a part in Amelie where her kidneys are harvested?  I don't remember it, but it has been a while since I've seen it.

Yeah what the fuck is with that? Is he really arguing that he'd rather live entombed in his own body or what?

I once wanted to buy Amelie but they didn't have it at the store and I picked up Dirty Pretty Things. Unfortunately unlike a plucky romantic comedy, the latter has a significant part of its plot based on whether or not the poor should sell their organs to raise cash.

Doesn't all of us live entombed in our own bodies?   :(

Encouraging a system where people donate their organs so that others may live could end up helping you, unless you're immune to disease.

I hope you die on a waiting list, you worthless piece of shit.

Waiting list?  Are you a retard?  The guy lives in Eastern Europe.

I'll donate all my organs if they will pay my wife the going rate for stolen Chinese black market people parts.

that works until you're low on funds and the wife decides to off you for the organ money :P
