as i said, some may go to adminstration but does that mean that we should always have an attitude that we shouldn't help them at all just because a part of the money goes to adminstration? if so, they are not helped at all. better to help a bit than entirely not helping. oh and my families have done those large charity projects and still are so i'm quite familiar with how the system 'works'. and that not all the money goes to adminstration. |

If what you say is true, than red cross is a horrible association that exploits catastrophes to make money. |

they are also helping... at least some money still goes to the needy if no one helps at all, they get no help. too bad, the world is dark and gloomy but if we all have that attitude to rather not help, wouldn't it be even more selfish? you could buy one less can of beer to help someone. not that what you're saying is "wrong" but its exaggerated and no matter what people do, that is there problem. we shouldn't be having such an attitude :/ helping people is something we should do, esp if its within our abilities. |

thank the lord not everyone in this world would only do something because they would merely gain benefit from it. it's not like she's giving all her money to it. |

That's not what I mean Germee. I would help someone in the world, as long as I would know that they would help me if ever I had problems. Often, that's not the case. |

just cause someone hasn't helped you doesn't mean you shouldn't help them back, unless of course if they're arseholes (aka barry). okay lets say a granny on the streets wants you to help her carry some of the oranges shes holding to her apartment cz its so damn heavy are you really not gonna help? |

And how can you be so sure they won't help you? Why would you assume the worst of someone before even meeting them? |

yeah and it's not like she's helped you before or whatever or she's going to follow you around seeing what she can do to help you back. except when i was small i rushed to this old lady to help her carry her stuff and she thought i was going to mug her. but my mum explained and she gave us this bag of candy :) |

Fortunately, we have hearts and are moral enough to know that while that little baby who is about to starve can't really help us, we can still give it some food. |

Finally. gosh, since I'm not really convincing. maybe Sal is more convincg to you Paul. But it doesn't matter, we can all stick to our values. thats what makes us unique individuals i guess. |

When did I say let's leave the baby starve? *rechecks thread* Damnit, I didn't. Strange. Helping people is nice and selfless, its noble and all, but generally, when you help someone, they won't help back. You can give all the support in the world to someone, does that mean that they would support you? No. Sometimes, they'll even spit in your face (once they're out of their shit ofc). Backstabbing exists... This is sad, but during my trip to Germany, I met a woman and her child on the streets, asking for change. I gave her the change, thinking that it would help. Afterwards, I felt almost stupid about it. Sad but true. You can all hate me now. |
