"well if you told me u were drowning, i would not lend a hand..."

would you help somebody who you despised/didn't like if nobody else could? pass them by in a rainstorm if they were on the corner?

I would absolutely help, even if it was someone I hated, like my old boss.

If I was the only one there, that would tell me I'm the person there to help. It's not for me to decide whether they deserve the help.

Depends on what the trouble was. Pass them in a rainstorm? Hell, yes. That ain't real trouble - they're just wet.

I'm not at a place where it'd be altogether easy to do it, but I'd like to think yes.

Now... if they're simply in a bind, but would eventually come out relatively unscathed, I'd let 'em stew at least for awhile. But dire trouble? Yes, I'd be more inclined to lend a hand.

Yeah, if they're not smart enough to come in out of the rain, that's not on me. If they were drowning, I'd help if I could. (Unless I despised them for a really good reason.)

I'm NOT playing with Karma, so yes, I would. That would make them feel like assholes too.

can't spell Karma, edit

Depends on what they'd done for me to hate them for and what the trouble was.

That's what I was thinking. There are 2 people who come to mind.... hmmm
They would REALLY have to be in life-depending situations for me to help... and for one of them, I might still pause. eek

Yes.

Unless by help you mean loan them 2 bucks to get through the toll plaza. Then I'd just sit back and watch them get a 20 dollar ticket and laugh my ass off.

But if by help you mean something more serious, of course. Karma is a bitch.

Depends on what it is, but more often than not, yes.

And I don't believe in karma in the traditional sense. I just know I'd feel worse not helping.

i would help regardless of who it was.

in the end we're all part of the same thing.

it is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.

Yes I would. A rainstorm may not be that crisis that generates that assistance however. Being wet is not drowning.

Um, sure I guess in most cases. If they're grown and don't want my help then I'd respect their wishes and move right along with my life.

Never again, not I.

I'd consider helping that asshole, but he would probably try to pull me in just out of spite... & if I did save him from drowning, I'd have to punch him immediately after before he got a chance to do/say anything else to annoy me...

is my life or well being at risk? if there's no threat to my life or health, then yes i would help them if they were in a life threatening situation. a rainstorm? nope. sorry, you'll dry out.
