It's not that I want to be the "better person", but I already know what my family is capable of, and what that is isn't going to help anybody much. I don't give a shit about being the "better person", I would just rather save 10 people with potential than 1 person with potential to do "stuff" with their life.

[B]How much unnecesarry food do you ahve in your kitchen right now? That could feed villages upon villages of starvign Africans?

Not sending that food to them is preventing them from eating, so yes you are connected. Directly.[/B][/QUOTE]

That is true...but let's go to my kitchen Wink

I have (quite literally)
1 box of spagetti noodles
some sugar
a box of jiffy cornbread mix
a can of Dr. Pepper
and 3 packages of ramen

I'm just overflowing here...someone please take some away.

Oh wait...i do have some ground beef that my bf's mom gave us from where she works at a nursing home. I fixed some the other day, and i would not even wish that food be served to someone I hated. **throws up thinking about it**

But I do know what you mean, and it is true...for most people in the country. Just not me, I don't waste food...i wait until there's absolutely nothing to eat before I think about going to the store.

One family member.

Millions of strangers are dying right now, I could care less.

If 1 loved one died, it would be unbearable.

Heh, close...about three months ago I was.

And i still haven't started seriously looking for a real job. What's really depressing is I just figured out my checkbook stuff, paid rent and all that.....i have $1.08 and I was going to go to the store. Poor Lowki doesn't even have food...but that can go on my credit card. I can deal w/ starving myself, not my keety Wink

In terms of what? Grams? I can't really put a unit of measurement on my "caring", but I can say is that I CAN care less.

So then you do care about them dying. So that makes your whole post where you originally used that phrase make no sense whatsoever.

"I'd save a family member because tons of people die every day and I care."

Wow. Okay. Fucking 'tard. Sideways

Okay, but your previous statement then makes no sense. Thus, you are an idiot. Yey.
