O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	Does anyone know the process of selling sperm to a sperm banks? Like - How much they pay? How often they let you make a "deposit"? What testing they do, other than sperm count before they will accept your fish and clorox concoction? Etc..? And save all of your "Did I say 2 fingers? Better make that 3" comments. AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That pursuit is what took America from the revolution to the computer age in 200 years. But the progress has come at a price. The obvious being the people that were exploited to make it possible; the not so obvious being us, the first group of people that were given no obvious frontiers to conquer. We hear stories about the good old days that don't seem to apply anymore. It's a generation gap that leaves us without role models. But the bright side is that without role models, there are no roles. Maybe that's what the 60s were all about -- getting rid of the roles. But what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, what do we replace them with? Without any guidance, the choices become overwhelming. Sometimes it just makes everything feel hopeless. So we destroy our bodies in the search of an ideal. Try to salvage relationships that don't work. We feel we must do something, instead of doing something that we feel. It is the prison of self-imposed momentum, and the sad part is that we get used to it. It reminds me of a song I heard the other day. It's called "The Going Nowhere Fast." But the people I have met here have shown me another side of Nowhere. They've pointed out the beautiful irony that stagnation makes it easy to stop and smell the roses, if we just let it. What would we be if we had nothing to rebel against? Well we could finally be ourselves, the first group of people who stopped looking for the answers long enough to appreciate the questions. And all we have to do is to make our own Declaration of Independence. We can embrace the right to life and liberty by simply realizing that happiness exists -- not to pursue, but to accept. After that the only challenge would be to make sure with the rest of our lives that we weren't just another fad. I don't know, it's an idea. What do you think?

O&A Board Regular Registered: Feb. 01	Click here for all the information you'll ever need. Although since this thread is about getting your nut off, couldn't you kept this in your "Entertainment" Forum? :-D "ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT I'M PONDERING?" I think so, Brain... I'll conquer the world long before Kingpin ever finds "Pinky" Now, I must return to the Lab to prepare for tomorrow night... This message was edited by The Brain on 6-7-02 @ 10:38 PM

O&A Board Regular Registered: Aug. 00	Thanks for the link Brain. "Each donor has 39 blood tests performed on him, including HIV (AIDS) antibodies and Hepatitis as part of the initial screening process. We also test urine for Chlamydia, and test for Tay-Sachs disease and Sickle Cell Anemia when appropriate. Each donor is given a physical exam by a physician. As part of our quality assurance, a donor can obtain a free medical exam at any time in the program to ensure his health." However, the odds are against you making some coin on this venture :-p AIM: SmarterChild Write To Me Here I think it all started with the Declaration of Independence -- the idea that we had the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
