[QUOTE="Brett_in_Sacto, post: 2495154, member: 71510"]Isn't it my choice? I can choose to help them, or choose not to? (Maybe they're a family of criminals, crooks, thieves that I'd just assume see disappear?) Even better, those that never learned - but want to can LEARN and get assistance along the way from people that actually do care. Make them stronger and more self-sufficient, and able to better take care of themselves next time. Part of the support comes with the requirement to learn the lessons and work for it. Does someone else do your work for you? Yes, I believe in Darwinism. And without going on a political rant - we are the only species that seems to get farther from it - while systematically increasing the burden those most able to survive and allowing those that won't to get ahead. We see famine and ignorance every day, and feeding without teaching to fish will only make the problem grow. And for those that can't? We have charity. For those that can - but won't while expecting others to fix it? Yes, I can look them in the eye as they starve. The movie "Idiocracy" is not a comedy - but has become more of a documentary on modern culture. It's scary to see it proliferate as rapidly as it does. [MEDIA=youtube]YwZ0ZUy7P3E[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]
