Right... You ban a member for a debate? Surely that means the debate forum should be closed from here on? This is rather confusing...

Ostinato, I am sure you would be very annoyed if someone you were talking to disagreed with something so trivial and simple that they kept denying it for some strange and pathetic reason unknown. That is precisely why Mentor shows very little respect for you, and has lossed his temper with you, because you continue to deny the obvious. It is obviously red, you have not come up with any good ideas other than deoxygenated blood. Deoxygenated blood is red. It is a darker shade. Not purple, not blue. Red. It is that simple.

Take it from someone who actually has had experience with blood. I used to have many blood tests when I was little. I think I was 7 or 8 at the time when the Colchester General Hospital had an open day and I was looking around when I saw the doctor who used to take my blood. She asked me if I and my parents would like to go see the room they deoxygenated and shake the blood to keep it from going solid. I obviously agreed.

The blood was kept in tubes similar to test tubes, just with a proper lid on and a bit smaller. The blood was been shaken and was a dark red, possibly a bit brown. It was not blue, as I can correctly vision it in my mind. There were different areas on the machine where the blood was dealt with. Basically the first area is where the tube is tilted left then right. The next one shakes it and so on and so forth to stage 4. Then it is put into sacks where they can be used for transfusions.

Next time you go into a hospital, take note of the colour of the blood in the transfusion bags, it is a darker shade of red. Please do not lecture me on this "it has been oxygenated" crap, because it by far has not, it wouldn't be good for the persons body to have oxygenated blood in their veins and then double oxygenated when it is back in the heart being oxygenated. Think of the logic.

It is that simple, but you ignorantly refuse to admit it, and get side tracked by going completely off topic by lecturing someone who has very little respect for you, which I have to admit, I don't respect you because you A) Go off topic and B) Refuse to admit you are wrong or admit to new knowledge.

I want yu to give me more reasons as to why you think blood is blue. Not this deoxygenated rubbish.

Oxygenated blood is red because:

1. Red blood cells/haemoglobin is a vibrant red when exposed o oxygen.
2. For obvious reasons, red blood cells are red, white blood cells are white and platelets are a white going on straw yellow. No blue involved.

Deoxygenated blood is red (still) because:

1. Red blood cells are obviously still present in the body, but not oxygenated, giving off a darker red. A colour cannot change colour. Especially to a blue which is the opposite of red.

It was very unnecessary, considering I haven't seen the rule he has broken. And debating about something is not against the rules "/ I never knew Ostinato was clever... I think this maybe the reason why... (no disrespect, but this simple debate has led you to look like a fool).

He suffers from HTFUOATABW syndrome so you cant realy balme him... ok thats a lie, its probably more reason to blaim him.
Most 5 year olds could answer this question, i mean...if a 5 year old draws blood what could cryaon does he use?

Blood is RED. Why? Becuse its made up of RED blood Cells.

But if you look at vains they appear blue? yes threw your skin they do, take one out its clear, when has no fulid in it, put fluid in it, it will be blue, this is regardless of whether the fluid is red, green, yellow or any other colour.

Why? becuse of the way light passes threw its outer wall.

But on the sciance diagrams aimed at children there drawn blue? This is so people can tell whether the blood is deoxignated or oxigenated?

So that means its blue? No it means it was drawn for people ignorat of biology.

How can you know? Well all people of authorty say its not blue, scientists, doctors, lab technitions, anyone capable of reading an encycolpedia, or puting 2 and 2 together and notieing red blood cells are probably red.

But i dont belive them, a couple of kids agree with me its blue, so anyone that would actualy know the answer must be wrong? No, you could just go dexoignate blood, they do it alot, its kinda simple.

Who ever mr "They" obviosly doesnt know what there talking about though, so maybe you should listen to someone who may actualy of had some exsperence in the matter, or at least is smart enough to gather from the name red blood cells that there most likly red "/

Since when was being right about something a bannable offence?

Anyway, if you were to get a knife and stab yourself in the arm, would you be worried if the blood was red? No, you wouldn't because blood actually is red.

If you were to get a knife and stab yourself in the arm, would you be worried if your blood was blue? Yes you would, because there must be something seriously wrong with you, due to the fact that you are a human, and not a crustacean.
