I'll be back the minute that they allow me to donate again.

Good for you, I, on the other hand, having donated every 12 weeks since I was 17 in the UK and here, was getting so tired of the increasingly longer and longer process of donating blood so was quite happy when told I can't anymore.
I believe it is everyone civic duty to donate, but the intake was just dumb by the time I'd finished, asking the same question 4 different ways as if it was your first time ever to donate was a stupid waste of time, and the frankly the guys that engage in the most risky sexual practise these days are newly divorced middle aged straight guys thanks to plenty of fish.
Given the ban on donating due to tattoos, that Brits used to be their most regular doners and they've lost them, it's no wonder they having issues.
