Lacking Compassion
Some mean and nasty commenters at this morally corrupt blog accused me of lacking compassion and all sorts of terrible things. I can't mention the particulars because the cruelty is too great to bare.
Just to set the record strait, I'M AS COMPASSIONATE AS THE NEXT GUY. During my life I have consistently tried to be aware of the plight of the down-trodden, pour, less fortunate and the French. If someone has left a jar to collect money for an operation for their second cousin on the counter at a convenient, I might put money in it.
When I leave work each evening, there is a homeless man sitting in the median at the traffic light. I feel sorry for him. It looks like a pitiful existence. I don't give him any money but I don't honk my horn if the light turns green while the person in the car in front of me gives him money.
Speaking of driving to work, my drive to work is 60 miles one way which gives me time to reflect. Since most of the trip is through rural areas, I've noticed that many farmers and other rural folks can't afford a car as nice as mine. That makes me sad. Maybe I bought more car than I really need, but a BMW 325is sure does make the trip more fun. And the sound system is great.
Being intensely interested in national and international events, because we are a global village, I watch a couple of hours of cable news each day. The world is covered with hunger, disease, pain, suffering, over-population and water. Mostly water, water covers about 71% of the earth. With my 42" flat panel, wide screen TV, I can really, really see just how bad things are. I would have bought a larger TV but I wanted the Klipsch RF-83 Home Theater System and I do have some limits to my finances.
The only other show I watch on TV with the same regularity, is "The Girls Next Door." Man, that Huge Hefner is one lucky dude. He's 80 or more years old and has three hot chicks living with him. If those girls lived with me, I'd be dead by the end of the week. Anyway, I voted for John Kerry to try to alleviate these problems but, as usual, the Republicans cheated, stoled the elections, and continued their exploitation of the whirled. I mean, I feel their pain.
I actually feel guilty for having a 3,125 sq. ft. house with 3 baths and a custom kitchen when I see the conditions in which most of the people of the world live. Some people still live in huts and shanties. How can they stand those tropical climates without air conditioning?
I care about the environment too. We have weigh to much pollution due the greed of corporations and Republicans. Heck, I tried using those new fluorescent bulbs but I didn't like the light. Instead, I bought an insert for my fireplace to heat my house with wood, less pollution from coal burning power plants that way.
Yes, I am a compassionate person. "Judge not lest ye be judged" all you neigh sayers and other punks. Heck, I am so compassionate that I almost feel sorry for the Kentucky football players and fans that have lost to Tennessee for 22 years in a row now.
Beat that!!
I AM COMPASSIONATE AS THE NEXT GUY. I'm just not sure who the next guy is.
UPDATE: Perhaps if I prayed for the death of Dick Cheney the liberals mentioned above would realize just how truly compassionate I am. (Hat tip to DrHelen)
P.S. If you think that some words are misspelled or incorrectly used, don't worry, they are add homonyms.

your ok in my book, i give to charity not money, but my time, if i feel its a deserving charity i may donate.
but there again, if you gave to every charity you would need charity. isnt it better for you as a dad to teach your kids respect for others, that would do so much more.
sometimes i feel that all this giving, isnt so much as helping others, more of a oh look at me i am so good and kind i give so much money away.. arent i a nice person.

Thanks, Mercurior.
I give more of my time than money also. Especially with three minor kids, my finances are tight. I am quick to help friends and others as well as charitable organizations.
