A Thesis on the Integrity of Human Charity by Clifford J. Willey PhD.

I agree with what most of what you had said, DJ, up until you mentioned helping other people.

First let me say that cannabalism was just an example I used to help illustrate paradigms and point of views. I in no way condone cannabalism and it would be silly for me to argue in it's favor any furthur.

Now as for helping people in favor of aiding evolution, you make me bring up another thought.

So far, evolution seems to favor species that show compassion for their own kind.

That may have applied in the past but evolution is defunct and obsolete in today's world. Mankind has reached the point where we will no longer evolve on a significant scale. We have developed the capacity to adapt our enviroment to suit our needs, rather than the other way around. And now that evolution is dead, it is not neccessary for me to look out for the welfare of our species. I agree it is important that we do not totally ignore the plight of mankind, but rather we entrust it into the care of the Government which, by the way, is still evolving. I do not need to help people I don't know.

Besides what do gas prices have to do with anything we were talking about. I believe your comment belongs in the forum two threads over and fourth post on your left. </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

A major oil refinery located in the disaster area was destroyed (or at least disabled) by Katrina. Thus, gas prices have raised to account for the loss of the refinery.

Charity doesn't prevent hurricanes. I don't even understand what you are trying to say.

How is helping other people out (Charity) going to affect this situation?

Also, if charity did affect gas prices, I would be spending money (donating) to save money (lower gas price). Better off not donating, and getting same amount of gas, that way I'm positive my donations don't get mismanaged or get alotted for aministration funding.

And I don't have the luxury of going down there and rebuilding the damn refinery, not that I would anyways.


Homo detrimento (effed up mutants) are a step down on the evolutionary pyramid. I apologize, I didn't make the distinction between muties before.
