I'm sure she wouldn't. That's not why I'm doing it though.

If it were borrowing money - I don't know her enough. I wouldn't loan her anything. I'd say "You've got to be fucking kidding me." If it were taking her shift at work, I'd say "I'm busy." There are probably a hundred thousand examples where I wouldn't help her out.

Lots of times you can get fucked by helping someone out. I know this. I've loaned money that's never been repaid.

Believe it or not, I - gasp - give to charity. I don't do it because I'm getting something out of it. I do it because <b>I think it's the right thing to do</b>. Some people are less fortunate and it's not their fault. And if that's the situation, and I can help out, I do.

If you can't, or don't want to, that's fine. My <b>only</b> problem with you is that you're being an ass about not helping out.

But it's your preogative, man. I wish you well, despite the fact that I disagree with your actions. I hope that, if you do have a long way to go, you make it. Life is tough. Everyone deserves a good shot at it.
