Well can YOU bomb people? I rest my case.

I know you're joking, but "Americans" get credit for these bombings all of the time, so yes, I can.

People that have never directly affected my life = I don't give a fuck about.

Explain to me why I should care about someone that I have never met, will never meet, and will never effect my life in any way.

Kinda like parkinson's disease....

Obviously I'd choose my best friend. But this debate is not about a situation where a building is burning down, it's about normal, every day life where you won't lose anything by just not shitting on somebody else. It's not an issue of saving someone, it's an issue of treating people like equal human beings, regardless of whether or not you know them.

It was an analogy, that's all. I realized what you meant, but that was the best I could come up with off hand..

If only someone would have hugged those terrorist when they tried to take over those planes... *sigh*

Hmmm I think I'm gonna go air mail my left over dinner to Africa tonight. *Puts dinner in box and stamps "TO AFRICA" on it*

Man... that's better. *Goes to give money to junkee hobos so they can spend it on drugs*

Analogies only work if they relate to the thing you are trying to make a point about.

Eh.. To my mind, it did. Just how I think, I suppose. You care more about what you know, basically.

Of course you do. What I'm saying is that it's about caring about people, even if you don't know them. Not caring about them more than or as much as people you know.

Ahh, well I suppose I can see that. I don't agree totally with what 88 was saying up there, I genuinely feel bad when I see something like that, but I think your racism comment was way off base. You're perhaps a bit to defensive about this, really.
