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

Didn't see this.

Yes, I always assume the worse.

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.

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.

Well if you won't leave the baby to starve, then I believe you've just answered your question on why people help others when they won't get anything back.

ur ashamed for helping a fellow man... thats pretty strange u know. U afraid ur friends might think u are stupid to believe her story or u feel u put your friends in a akward position or sth?

Helping ppl is fulfilling and noble. By helping somebody without getting anything in return u do a good and noble dude, something beyond yourself. U help the common good, and might help a person. Ppl sometimes need help, and some of us actually care about there plee for aid.

Lets take the eartquake in China for example. Those ppl grew up in relative poverty as far as i know. They survived, did there best and now a eartquake happend. They lost everything they own, and family/friends aswell. Now isn't our job as a decent human being to help these ppl, even if they are not in our face? Can u honestly say, i don't give a fuck? let them starve? or do u feel others should help them? perhaps the gov, to whom u complain about taxes and the services they provide? All those ppl care for is staying in office, and spending 10 million on something like this won't help that. Cause in the end u elect somebody who helped u, not some far away ppl in a distant land.

Either say i don't give a fuck or help, but don't think "let others take care of it". Thats the most absurd postion to take.

And ye, u won't get anything in return. This isn't a trade.

Let's say that you helped those poor innocent people in China by donating money or food or whatever. Wouldn't they just go back to being poor, as they used to be ? wouldn't it be better and more mercifull to just put a bullet in their head and end their missery ? wouldn't they, then, go to heaven and be happier than ever ?

So, in a way, donating to those people is nothing more than prolonging their missery...

that is one of the most disgraceful comments i've heard in my life.
now i am really disappointed in you dragon.


and vizor, dont be so harsh on paul
i think he does get it
just that he needs to process what we've said and think it through.

and paul, you are not heartless
and we are not disappointed in you
you shouldn't think for a second you are heartless just bcz we share different values
but of course imo i still think your approach is slightly twisted.
but just try to keep what we said in mind, and next time if you see a beggar, hopefully what we said will pop up in your mind just for a sec :)
at least our efforts wouldn't have been wasted.

sorry for being demanding -__-"

money is tight these days in the US with high gas prices (and we have a diesel Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer edition. gas is nearly $4 now) but my dad donated $30 US and mom donated $65 US. my mom's side of the family is more charitable, and my rich uncle donated $400 US, which he made sure reached its destination (how i do not know). im personally broke right now, especially since I sent off my last $15 to the thing. and i had been saving that for dynasty warriors 6 when it came out. dang consciousness and second guessing and thinking of other people instead of myself parts of my brain. <_< really hope it helps tho

first off, i did try to help. Can't help it that they only accept credit cards. Second off, im not attacking anybody.... Never said everbody should start sending money to one of these organisations, i said the mere concept of helping others is a good thing and everbody should try and help. And its not just this. Perhaps a friend is having a rough time, u can help him by listening to him. Or a homeless person is searching a trash bin and u got 5 dollars in your pocket. And if somebody was offended by my last (or this) post, im sorry. I still got (L) for u guys :P (sorry, wanted to use a new emoticon. Better then the spam one in this case). Imo, lets forget this thread and toast

One day the god Thor, with his servant Thialfi, and accompanied by Loki, set out on a journey to the giant's country. Thialfi was of all men the swiftest of foot. He bore Thor's wallet, containing their provisions. When night came on they found themselves in an immense forest, and searched on all sides for a place where they might pass the night, and at last came to a very large hall, with an entrance that took the whole breadth of one end of the building. Here they lay down to sleep, but towards midnight were alarmed by an earthquake which shook the whole edifice. Thor, rising up, called on his companions to seek with him a place of safety. On the right they found an adjoining chamber, into which the others entered, but Thor remained at the doorway with his mallet in his hand, prepared to defend himself, whatever might happen. A terrible groaning was heard during the night, and at dawn of day Thor went out and found lying near him a huge giant, who slept and snored in the way that had alarmed them so. It is said that for once Thor was afraid to use his mallet, and as the giant soon waked up, Thor contented himself with simply asking his name.
