Well gee that doesn't sound like much. Why do you have a computer? Surely the money that you spent on a computer could have been better spent HELPING people.

What do YOU do? I mean, except fight for your dreams, which is not of much use to anybody unless you write a self-help book.

(And hey, I like myself and am totally able to help without sacrificing myself. Which isn't really the point at all, because I don't think that anybody is required to share what they have, unless they're complaining about how shitty the world is because hypocrisy is something that seriously pisses me off.)

Well, well so you're willing to help AS LONG AS YOU DON'T HAVE TO SACRIFICE ANYTHING. Wow aren't you a real hero. That speaks volumes to me. You sanctimoniously tell other people that they don't even have the right to dream unless they're doing something to save the world. Yet you aren't willing to sacrifice anything of yourself. You're just good at telling OTHER people what to do.

And working in a soup kitchen is all very well but you know what sunshine? It ain't going to change the world. That doesn't mean it shouldn't be done just that you have to have realistic ideas of what makes a REAL difference and what doesn't.

Because soup kitchens only feed people for the day, they don't address WHY those people are hungry in the first place. But you keep on patting yourself on the back so you can feel superior. Because ultimately that's all you're doing...making yourself feel superior.

Are you really that stupid? Just asking, because I don't get how you can twist a normal statement into that.

All I said was that you can help people without sacrificing anything. Everybody wins! What's so bad about that? DUH.

Also, OF COURSE ONE PERSON CAN'T CHANGE SHIT. But a lot of people (that's more than two or three, too! A LOT MORE) can! But if people fantasize about far-off alternate realities instead of doing something about our own world, nothing will ever change. Do you get it now? I don't know how I could say this any clearer.

Sunshine your problem is that you ASSUME that everyone who fantasizes about far off worlds isn't doing anything in THIS world. I bet Stephen Spielberg has done more for this world than you (or I for that matter) have done but Stephen Spielberg is a dreamer who does fantasize about far off worlds and then makes films about them. So your assumption that EVERYONE who fantasizes about far off worlds does nothing in this world is wrong, wrong, wrong.

And if we didn't have dreamers in this world, we wouldn't have any art or literature in it. Be a pretty sad world wouldn't it?

Shoot, I meant Steven not Stephen. It's late. I should go to bed.
