Insofar as you've explained it, I belive I understand the situation quite well. To be sure, I just re-read all four pages of this thread and my opinion hasn't changed.
I'm not being an asshole here for the sake of it, but I've grown intollerent of people who want to "help," but in reality do nothing but complicate matters which they should not even be involved in. You want an example of what "helpful" people can do? Look at Liberia, we sure helped them. Or El Salvador, we helped them too. Need I mention the death squads manned by American trained and armed child-soldiers? Name just about any other third world hole of a nation and you get pretty much the same story. We decided to get involved and bang-poof all of a sudden, they're worse off for it. It's really no wonder other nations hate us. Same principals apply to interpersonal relationships. Results are pretty much the same too.
There's an old saying that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions." I think that applies here.
~LOL~ wtf??!!! Rant much?
1) none of that political bullshit had anything to do with the current conversation
2) our government has never concerned itself with helping anyone, but of course they need to tell the U.N. something that sounds better than "we liked what they had, so we're gonna go take it home with us"
3) not her place? if they ask her, it is her place to answer...both parties are consenting
4) sit down first, this is going to come as a shock...you can indeed help other people. I know!!! crazy shit, huh? Done it more than a few times in my life, the only danger with being honestly helpful is sticking around to long and becoming a crutch, as such its better to help anon. lot more effective in the long run
5) your intolerant, huh? okay, what are you going to do about it? yep, thats right, not a fucking thing. neither of us have any authority or power in this forum, as such neither of us have the ability really to be intolerant. To be intolerant insinuates that you can stop it as soon as it starts. don't worry, i'll wait.
as far as the old saying, I understand it, but always thought it was stupid as shit. Because you'll go to heaven if you have bad intentions, right? As far as I can tell from scripture, if they're right, we're all gonna burn, so that isn't even worth considering.
