"Them" is hard to say though. I remember once when I was about 15 giving $5 to a little girl who couldn't be more than 10 and a boy (little brother?) who had to have been 8. She seemed really thankful.

It's just such a hard conversation to have because obviously there are "street people" who will abuse generosity, but then there are those who truly need it. I feel like I can't rationalize denying those in need to keep from encouraging the abusers.

A guy came up to me at a gas station and asked if I could help him out, his car was out of gas and he had no money. I said sure, and gave him $5, all the cash I had. He then proceeds to walk to his car, get in, and drive off. Did not fill up or hesitate at all. I guess he needed it more than I did...

CNN has an article from a Christian pastor about where god was during the Aurora CO Batman shootings; this is the first comment...and it's fucking brilliant

Replying to RyGuy2012 · That's sadly true. And depending on how low your self worth is, you may think you deserve the pain.

The only 100% effective way of preventing drowning is not going in the water.

Replying to jeppest · Just because it's a repost doesn't mean that everyone has seen it. Although I do think there should be reference to the original post or something.

There should be a tag, like the NSFW ones, for a repost.

These are the Christians on my feed... I think we need more like them.

Replying to [deleted] · I doubt it. People are already in line to pay for the food, meaning they have the money to do so. I find the whole concept rather obnoxious. It's the principle of the thing. I am…

I agree, it's retarded. It's like a secret Santa party with fast food, where everyone chooses their own meal and another person pays for it. Now that I think of it, it's one of the most pointless and unimaginative "chari

I was also upset that they grouped MDMA and Meth together! They both bind to neurotransmitter receptors in far different affinities! In a rant about improperly grouping things together, I would expect consistency!
