aw poor boy someone took his candy away from him

No one took his candy away. He shared it, something you conservatives cannot understand.

That is a stupid statement.....I am a conservative and I donate money, time , and help of any kind to anyone who REALLY needs it..Who the hell do you think you are, that you can use such a statement and apply it to a group as a whole..Grow the hell up and get in the real world...

since I donate to WW he wouldn't approve of that so it's the same as not helping

You know, I think you're right, and just count me as being a follower of his philosophy. I do my best to help those who are "truly" in need, ignoring those who whine and "think" they are entitled (when I know better) even though more often than not, I cringe looking at my bank balance. I get up every day, count my blessings, including a house held up by two commercial jacks, and consider myself as a "have" as opposed to a "have not", even though many would consider me a "have not." I consider lpnmajor and I as both truly blessed. Of course, that's just my opinion, mind you. However, I think he already said how he feels.

Yeah, who ever heard the words "libtard" or "rightwing nut", who the hell has the gumption to lump people together like that? The nerve! If everyone were treated like individuals with their own opinions, who the hell would dare to try and stick them into some made up category?

Oh, yeah, that's right... ALMOST EVEYONE ON THIS SITE, that's who. Remember now?

It's not their fault. Some people just don't know how to deal with a simple statement. They're looking for the secret agenda behind it or something. I don't tell people how to live their lives and I don't defend how I live mine. I am at peace with myself and hope others can find a way to do the same. It's that simple.

I am certainly glad there were some folks in this country in the late 18th century who did not share your complacency.

With all due respect, I rather don't think it's complacency, more like the AA pledge about asking God to grant the courage to change the things one can, accept the things one can't, and the wisdom to know the difference. You know, things aren't as simple as they were in the late 18th century and it would seem unless you have the monetary means of either Mr. Buffet or Mr. Gates when it comes to some matters, or the ear of some incredibly influential people who can make rusted wheels break loose and turn, you are not going to change them. It has nothing to do with complacency. It "might" have something to do with one's sanity, but truly not complacency. Besides, complacency is definitely not an OPP trait, donchaknow!!

...and, that, my friend, says it all, it does. Peace of mind is such a wondrous thing.

Just leave the indifferent aside for the time bein... (show quote)

Floyd & Ipnmajor: I have a much different view of the three attitudes you both speak of!
The indifferent (Apathetic) are the real danger and the scourge in our society - they can cut and run from either good or bad! You left out the second most dangerous attitude - evil...if you even believe it exist. Apathy is probably worst than evil - because it is responsible for where we are in our society today. We can work on converting bad to good, but when apathy sets in evil will flourish. We desperately need to draw a line in the sand and separate good from evil - not that its an important thing to do in our society, but more importantly that our children can see and understand it. We not only have good and bad, but more importantly we have the other more dangerous types.....Apathetic and Evil ones. So not two....three...but....four. Cheers!

What about those who do good for evil reasons? Or those who do evil for ( what they believe ) are good reasons? The indifferent don't care to distinguish good/evil, they just do what ever "seems right" at the time. An indifferent person may or may not be apathetic. I've known many indifferent persons who were quite passionate about their indifference.

I have always been taught that it is never right, to do wrong, to do right.

Ipnmajor: Lets use a little deductive reasoning here...your playing games! Indifferents and apathy are the same thing!!! You did get one thing right.....the apathetic just don't care...they may even feel passionate about that feeling....its what makes them so much more dangerous than the real evil ones!!!! If you really don't care (apathetic) how can you even think of articulating something evil...you just set on your duff and watch it happen...just like many of the e*****rate here in America!!!
