Had a weird experience, saw an old lady struggling and I mean struggling to lift a heavy package into her shopping cart. There was a whole slew of people around, and no one, not a single person thought to move forward and help her.

Don't we care at all?

lol, that's a weird experience?

If she couldn't lift it why did she buy it? The stupid, greedy old fool. If I'd seen her I'd've kicked her ass.

Did you help her or this a moan about your own behavior as well?

What do you think?:bugeye:

I would be surprised if she did not find many things heavy, she was really old, maybe in her 80s.

The scary thing was, she was driving herself too.

She shouldn't be out and about, running over dogs and buying heavy goods then. Why didn't she just stay home and order it off Amazon? People don't think.

Sam, it's just more proof of what I've been trying to tell everyone all along ...people CLAIM to care about others, but it's only words to make themselves feel better and to project an image that they want others to see.

No, Sam, people don't care! And all one has to do is look around, any day, anywhere, any time, and you'll see it played out time and time again.

No, Sam, people don't care about others .....THEY JUST MAKE THAT CLAIM.

I would have helped her. For as hateful as the liberals try to make me out to be, I would help most anyone I saw who needed it. When God tells me to do something I do it no matter how weird it seems at the time.

This was an interesting topic. It made me think.:)

Human beings are selfish by nature. Some more so than others.

Pretty lame to not help an old lady that you see is struggling with something.

There was a case a long time ago in Melbourne (Australia) where a girl had been attacked as she was putting her shopping in her car one night. As she was being raped in the backseat, she was screaming for help and some people walked right past the open door as she was being raped and could hear her begging for help, and not one single person came to her aid.

In short, people are arseholes.

She shouldn't be out and about, running over dogs and buying heavy goods then. Why didn't she just stay home and order it off Amazon? People don't think.

She was also very surprised when I offered to help, I don't think she is computer literate. And from what I could gather, she lives alone. I found it incredibly sad.

Although not sad enough to giver her computer lessons, obviously. Which is exactly what she needs.

How did you guess?:)

You're right.:bawl:

I thought you said she needed an ass-kicking.

For buying something too heavy to lift. Carrot and stick. Were you trying to trick me there?

Actually, oddly enough, I get approached a lot by women needing help. Maybe it's my manly Sean-Connery-like chest, or my slurring Edinburgh brogue.

Anyway, to date I've had to give two women lifts whilst on my way to work - one to the doctor for her foot (couldn't walk it, fair enough) and one to the mechanic because her car was dead. So I've helped. Used to do outreach classes for free to schools too. And I hold doors, carry packages, all that sort.

I like helping others and lending people in need a helping hand. It gives me a moment in my busy day to stop and plan my cold, cold revenge on the world.

I remember when I was about 4 years old (in kindergarten) I witnessed a car accident and refused to give my water bottle for the victim. It made my mother very sad. So I was actually born wicked, I've improved with age.

No doubt it also boosts your self-image and helps you to feel a bit better about all the things, in your life and out of it, over which you have no control.

I hold doors for people too, and don't mind helping a bit as long as it doesn't put me out too much. Once I gave a homeless drug addict a cigarette and a dirty look.

I think we give more as we get older. We learn how to be less selfish. We learn we cannot possibly use all the stuff we have in our homes.:)

I am taking a seminar that includes "giving selflessly" as one of the topics. It's a kick in the spirit.

I'm trying to be even more giving and generous now. I think if we all did this, the world would be a much better place.;)

Right now I'm working on being nice to muslims.:cheers:

Well, you still seem pretty wicked. Posting nearly nude frontals, feckless aggrandisement, name-calling, Sean-Connery-adoring. I'll bet you ride a broom to work. Evil woman.

If I couldn't use it it wouldn't be in my home...

You need training to give away stuff you don't want? Sheesh.

Try being nice to PEOPLE instead of breaking them into categories.

“I care not whether a man is good or evil; all that I care / Is whether he is a wise man or a fool. Go! put off holiness, / And put on intellect.”
Wm. Blake

No. Giving selflessly is God-like. It's giving something despite what your mind tells you. Like if someone loves/wants/needs your favorite leather jacket and God tells you to give it to them, you just do. You don't bargain with God or make up excuses.:worship:

Or when you're driving away from someone's house and God tells you to go back and give their kid all the money in your wallet. You just do it. And don't question it.

God puts His will into my spirit. I do stuff for people that blows me away sometimes when I think about it afterwards.:eek:

I'm already nice to people in everyday life. On here--not so much.:D

And I have a hard time being nice to someone who might be here illegally.

p.s. Giving away stuff you don't want is not giving selflessly. It's smart but not selfless.

Right now I'm working on being nice to muslims.:cheers:

Been there, done/ do that.

It's giving something despite what your mind tells you. Like if someone loves/wants/needs your favorite leather jacket and God tells you to give it to them, you just do.
So god says "they're a greedy little sod, give them your X, Y or Z because they want it more than you want it?"

I'm already nice to people in everyday life. On here--not so much.
Then you're failing at "holiness" aren't you? If you're nice to someone you should be nice to EVERYONE, surely.

And I have a hard time being nice to someone who might be here illegally.
But isn't that an obstacle to overcome? A character flaw? Judgment is yours? Love thine enemy, hmmm?

Hi sandy,

God here - how's it hanging, sweetheart?

Listen, you know that forum you troll on the internet? Skyforums or something? Yeah, well there's this 'guy' on there - redarmy11. Don't know if you've come across him?

Anyway, he really needs your help. Is there any chance you could send him $10,000 through PayPal? His poor granny needs this operation, see. You'll get your reward when you get to my place. Yeah, yeah, he's white, he's got his own passport and that.

Cheers sand - who loves ya?

LAW not LAWs rocket. Light Anti-tank Weapon. 66mm for information.
So the "love thine enemy" thing isn't working? Kill rather than understand? Negotiated peace not on the list of possibilities? :shrug:

You don't negotiate with terrorists. They are satan's children. They don't understand reasoning-- only death, destruction, and taking over the world.

Look how well negotiating worked for Jimma Carter.:rolleyes:

Funny, they would think very much the same of you. You appear to have more in common with them than you think.

Their method of negotiating with us always involves sawing our heads off or blowing up our buildings killing innocent civilians. They suck.

And to (Q)- remove that quote in post #37. You altered it to make me look like a moron. Foul play.:mad:

You've lost your touch.:bawl:

Just a thought ....but if we helped everyone who needs help, would we ever have time to help ourselves?

As I see it, there are about a gazillion people in the world who need help, yet there are only a few to help all of them. What to do? And if you only help one, but not others, don't that make you something of a fuckin' hippo-critter?

Baron Max

Well, if we all helped everyone, maybe some of those would help us?

Also just a thought.

In situations like this I have feelings that I should and would like to help (I like feeling useful) which conflict with my inhibitions toward drawing attention to myself. Which one wins depends on how social and energetic I feel.

People didn't help her because they knew that she could be in disguise and holding 3 Uzis, 2 RPGs, 10 sticks of dynamite and 4 hand grenades.

Of course, if she was Muslim, then she'd be strapped with C4 explosives!

If she was Mexican, she'd have a switchblade knife with the intention of cutting a big slice on your face.

If she was Italian, she'd be trying to pick your pocket.

If she was..... (Okay, okay, I ran out of stereotype bullshit!) :D

Hey, I just happened to remember ....about a year ago or so, there was an "old woman" in New York City who did just about what you're talking about. She hobbled around, lugging "heavy" packages, etc, then when some nice guy tried to help "her", HE pulled out a gun and robbed the sucker right there on the sidewalk!

No, the cops never did catch "her" ...the poor, helpless, old "woman". :D

You really just hate Americans, don't you? I mean, you hate all Americans just for the actions of a few people. You call me names when I hate all Muslims for the acts of a few, yet you do the very same thing without a thought. Shameful, Sam, shameful.

I dont even know how people can do that shit, i thought i saw a girl getting raped (or about to once) and i turned around and followed them down this alley. As it turns out they were just playing around and knew each other, better to be safe than sorry though!

Depends how you were brought up. I've noticed big city people could really give a shit, if you live or die.

Yeah, but people are usually nice. You just found one bad timing.

I have a pretty solid never help anyone, ever policy. It works out great. Goes well with the kick 'em while he's down.

I hope that's fruit juice in those bottles. We've seen too many Muslims fall to the devilry of a refreshing bacardi breezer.

When God tells me to do something I do it no matter how weird it seems at the time.


that's why religious people scare me. those voices in your head, you call them God, other people call them hallucinations.

i'm just screwing with you, good on you for being a good person. that you think God tells you to do things does scare me though.

i also don't understand how you could see a person being raped and do nothing. some stuff is worth the risk of being stabbed for. you'd hope the people suspected a prank.

that said, sometimes people have responsibilities which don't allow them to risk getting stabbed for someone. providing for a family etc.
