I get the feeling that many around here just don't talk slow enough for you. You have all day, why don't you re-read the thread then get back to us when you are up to speed.
Since your reply had no relevancy on the discussion, I can only determine that you are indeed lost.
Thanks for your time.
So as long as at least one person is helped, it doesn't matter how many are harmed?
You know, I was in fear of being over-simplistic but since you seem to be setting the standard I no longer have that feeling.
Thanks.

Dang Underdog, Whats with the mestruation??? Ppl happen to disagree with you. Perhaps you need to take a time out?
I wanna know who's going around licking dogs to see which ones are salty...
I'm sorry but if thats all either of you got out of my posts then it really creates no incentive to continue discussing it now does there?
I mean really, one of you thinks I'm mad, when all I did was state a reference point and the other wants badly to agree with Mazemaster despite the fact that I mentioned that there is no perfect organizations.
Obviously, you both are attempting to prove your point about infallible humans by being one, or at least you think you are.
Sorry, but I see no point in continuing if that how you determine right from wrong, or truth from falsehood.
I am not pissed,upset or on the rag.
I realize at this particular moment, there are no verbal members on my side of this discussion but how would you feel if I continuously said "Well I think so and so has the right of it and.."
Is it not within you to have a discussion without making it personal? Now I realize also that for at least one post Mazemaster made it so, but in the end we both felt badly and I assume we both intended to begin again from scratch. At least I thought so.
Now here we are with you back tracking to what happened before Maze and I amended our mistake by making it personal again. Why?
Sure, Nickel seems to think that I am upset for some reason because I posted oddly. Thats his misconception not mine. I was speaking from the heart. I honestly felt that "I" was being overly simplistic in my view, and then you better me by being even more so. Now I don't feel quite so badly.
To answer your question:

Well it would depend largely upon what level of help you were referring to. If someone was helped by getting a tax break, or their lost puppy was found, then no. But if a killer was found, even only one, then yes I'd have to say it counted as a good thing.
I am not willing to brandish numbers with you. I am not willing to say something stupid like "Do you realize how far medicine advanced when the Germans killed all those Jews" just because its true. Not all ends justify the means. Yes medicine advanced, but I feel we could have eventually gotten the same results without attempting genocide.
So, stop splitting hairs by attempting to simplify my comment into meaningless jabber.
You may not agree with me, but its not meaningless.
Yes, names. Mine is Jonathan. Nice to meet you. I prefer rice instead of noodles and think there is no God. However, if there were one he must have a sense of humor as anyone who has seen the platypus would agree.
Now, I think we can discuss anything between rice and God. " SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">
I would recommend that if you want to discuss things with me in the future, try not to key in on any one portion. I had some pretty nifty comments in there. 
Ahh, only if Orph is here now.
I think the discussion has fallen apart. Apparently, people's perspective has more to do with their fundamental values, and no one is likely to change their values based on a forum discussion.
Therefore, I think we should drop the subject and let the thread die quietly (even though I started it). That would be for the better.
But?!?! I really do like rice.
As to the subject at hand. I believe that things will happen. Its up to each of us to deal with those events as best we can. True, discussing them in a simple forum atmosphere will not really alter anything, nor anyones perspective on such events.
I see things in this manner. You may expand upon them in almost any way you wish as long as you keep your thoughts to yourself. It truly is not your place to decide if I am living my life immorally or amorally.
This is how I view life. If one knows that to do something that in so doing it they may come to harm, then don't do it. In other words, if you are gay, do not go into a redneck bar and proclaim your freedom to be such. If you know that poking a sleeping bear will get you mauled do not poke it and so on and so on, etc.etc. (be aware that any example I use is purely for example purposes and in no way denotes my belief that such events should happen)
Yes, I realize that this is a weird way to view life but when push comes to shove, what can one person really do but keep your head down and push ever onward.
On a side note, I had home made chicken soup tonight, what did you have for supper?
Somehow I get the feeling that you were answering in your rap thread, but it somehow got posted here, as it simply doesn't fit at all.
Perhaps it would be best not to have two windows open at once?
