re: #707 Existential_Donuts

Compassion and forgiveness are not listed anywhere in there. You care about people, everyone does. Is it impossible for you to help someone that is all of those terrible things you listed? Is it fine that they (and their families) struggle to live in one of the richest countries in the history of civilization? Conservatives always talk about American Exceptionalism, but does it only apply to our foreign policy? Is it possible that part of American Exceptionalism includes helping people that might not deserve it? Your points about determination and self sufficiency are great lessons, but if no one is willing to help, how the hell will they ever learn?

you don’t know me…compassion and forgiveness was not my point…don’t rag on about what you think about my life…why don’t you just ask me if I give away money rather than try to sound so profound and idealistic…political ideology has nothing to do with my post
