I'm surprised you have such a negative view in the world. With this logic, you shouldn't bring a child into the world. :^P
i'm glad u've realized i'm not a positive person
and oh dear, if i'm not ready i'd not be idiotic enough to let that happen.
Oh... have you met my girlfriend DFEMC? So you think she does the good deeds she does because she is forced too? :^P
i truly believe she'd be offended by your statement, from what i can remember she doesn't even want to chat on this forum because u exist.
and did u not
read? if i've not mistaken, i did say, i am using the term loosely because i know there are many people doing things because they want to do it, not because they are
forced to.
There are lots of humanitarians. I think the reason some people are unaware of them is because they like to remain silent. Sometimes the publicity of doing good can be seen without have to tell others.
There are a lot of people who do good. How do you think this website runs? We are all here because we are helping to keep this community running. We all contribute in our ways to help make this site better. With SarN's name, we would have never had this forum to visit, without Darvil's technical prowess, we would not have had this site. Without Nounning's moderation, we would have advertisement spams all over the forums about viagra and penis enlargements and a few mortgage lender sales pitches that we wouldnt' want to be here.
There are lots of good things people do, that we take for granted. You may focus on the leeches who steal music and videos clips from those with hearts to share, but I am impressed with peeps like Tina, Bunni, Peaches, and Dedeman who provide entertainment to the masses without much recognition or expectations...
yes, u are right, there are lots of them, but not enough of them. like i said, and like many people has already mentioned, if they have to think about others before themselves, that's not going to happen, it's always going to be about me first...then family, then friends. then when they have some time and availability they'd opt to help. and u know with various duties and responsibilities, some just doesn't have the time to go to the nursing home to assist those lonely elders...so do u think, since they have no free time, they'd just pull out their checkbook and write up a large sum of money to donate to the nursing home? sadly, that doesn't really happen does it?
well, in some cases, there are smart people whom decide to donate to charities to avoid giving all that money in taxes to fund the government's egotistic views of "saving another country". i'm talking about $50,000+ donations, for example we had founders day at the office i worked at, where millionaires came to listen to speeches and whoop out their checkbooks to donate to the hospital.
yes, sarn did run this site throughout the years from the kindness of her heart and her passion for entertainment. i guess u don't understand,
this is her choice, she wants to do this, no one is forcing her. same goes with darvil, tina, peaches, cecilia, dedeman, and soooo many more people who's contributed to this site throughout all these years, especially those whom also donated for things that they don't really have to if they didn't want to.
but again, do u really think the small population of users that contribute makes up for the majority of forum? we have 10k+ members, about 15% are actively contributing by posting, uploading and etc, and with this percentage, i may be even too generous. ur example again favors my theory, they have a choice, sign up as a member, u can contribute to dl or u don't have to contribute to dl...
and end result is... there are more leechers than there are uploaders. because it's a choice, people chooses not to do it. they rather just read or just download and not bother to share their stuff and inputs.
and in this example, ok there may be some people who'd like to remain silent as a contributor, those coming on to the site, creating some traffic, those donating to our forum when we're in need. and yes, of course we thank them since their visit, even as a guest keeps our forum's statistic up.
in the end, u should see that even this, there are smaller "humanitarian" (giving/contributing) than there are those simply leeching. so this is why i say taxes are imposed for a reason right? if the residents and citizens of the US aren't forced to cough up parts of their earnings to help the overall population of the USA, then hey we might as well just float in air and not eat nor shit because we are taking up property of the USA and using the government's sewer... and if u use septic, it's being pumped and eventually dumped into government waste.
You make the assumption that providing more money to the broken system will make it better right? Why do you think charities are created? Because people take their own time and invested interest to make changes. You are agree that the federal programs suck, and yet you want me to put more money into it? <smirks>
well, this is because the proposal is vowed to commit changes, changes to this system which will benefit the middle class and lower, not only aiming towards minute lower income individuals so i will be benefited by this.
and how do u think charities begin? charities are usually developed to find a cure for XYZ because their loved ones are affected by this disease or whatever it may be, it usually has to do with personal interest, this is why it began and has developed to become a giving charity to those other children or adults affected by whatever the charities are developed for... for example breast cancer, it's developed to make other women aware that you don't necessarily have to be old to have this, u must be checked, it's developed to help others, but do u think that had no one had this cancerous disease from the beginning, this charity would've developed?
And there are times, when they may deserve it though. They put the tax money in... they want to enjoy it too. :^P (my turn to play devils advocate)
:^(
so because u are floating in air, i'm assuming that u aren't able to enjoy those paved roads they've built with our tax money.
Oh and have you watched Rak Ter Soot Rak with Pat Napapha and Por Th(sp?). Haven't watched anything in a while... and enjoying it.
Peace!
sorry, i don't watch lakorns, and haven't done so for some time now so i have no idea what u're talking about. i'm trying to listen to more music tho because i've been dling so much crap and not listening to it... gotta love torrents.

Dyno I'm going to have to disagree with you on the statement you made about the 5 dollar tax thing. You said noungning could get social programs although she may pay a bigger portion because of her lower income bracket. But those social programs wouldn't be there for her IF we were all equally paying 5 dollars.
yes darvil, and this is when he said people should be able to contribute their money on their "own will" without being "forced"... because that's their money and they shouldn't be forced to help anyone they choose not to. and where i say choice can't be an option here because when given a choice, they opt not to do it.
