Collective Responsibility -v- Individual Responsibility.

I say the person who is motivated to help himself and the person who is motivated to help others for the good feeling it gives him inside are the same person.

The guy in the house has an icky feeling because his neighbors are going to be slaughtered. He helps himself get rid of this feeling by inviting his neighbors into his neighborhood fortress. Presto! The icky feeling is gone, and his neighbors thank him profusely making him feel like a hero. He's avoided something he doesn't like, and gained something he does like.

As opposed to Radar who doesn't give a shit if his nice neighbour and family are slaughtered.

Hmmm...such a tough choice.

I guess it would depend on the neighbor. Do they have a good looking teenage daughter? LOL

To be honest, I pretty much keep to my self in my current neighborhood. It's a good way to stay safe. Perhaps when I buy a home in a better area, I can get to know my neighbors and maybe...just maybe... care enough about them to invite them into my super underground batcave-like fortress when the shit hits the fan.
