Default Re: Why dont you give away your money to poor people?

Back when I was living on a grad student stipend, I used to give ~10% of my income to charity.

It's sooooo much more difficult to give a lot when it's real money.

Have not read a single response except the OP, but to briefly answer this: because we have a choice not to give away.

I also believe everyone is responsible for everything that happens to them.

I expected my comment to be recieved with some skepticism, but I'm a little surprised at how much and the absence of any agreement whatsoever so far. This is the Psychology Forum - one might expect the participants to be somewhat thoughtful in their responses. Did either of you guys bother to check out any of the references I gave? It seems obvious that you didn't even look at them. However, if you wish to continue with your lives believing that you have little or no control over what happens to you, good luck to you. I know your're doing the best you can with what you know.

probably it is because what you wrote makes very little sence from any but a very specific religious point of view.

So let me get this straight:

Thailand is poor because they are poor.

Nice Logic RETARD!!!!!!

Uh, no. You are taking advantage of their poverty. See, the country is poor. So when you move there so you can live for cheap, that is taking advantage of a situation. A situation caused by their poverty. Therefore...

And let's not get all bent out of shape simply because I poked a hole in your overinflated sense of self-worth. After all, you're helping an entire economy by buying the occassional sandwich. What could little old me possibly say to take that away from you?

LMFAO..

The situation is that they are poor.

I am taking advantage of the situation.

The situation (them being poor) is caused by their poverty.


LOL....
