    All the people who sacrifice themselves for the lives of others throughout histories, i.e. Flight 93 on 9/11

    I'd like to throw my opinion in. I'd say that it's our animalistic qualities that make us selfish. Animals have always had to fight to survive. It's not something humans have developed to do.

    Instinctual. A mother looks after her child to increase the chances of her genes being passed on.

    Just look at nature.

    True love is another example. Although my previous post explains my opinions on this subject (and you're proving my point that it is not human nature, but animalistic nature instead).

    First of all, you are assuming that a person can care only about on person. In that case, yes. People will, for the most part, only care about themselves.

    However, that is not the case. People care about multiple people.

    Seconly, caring != looking out for. I care about what happens to you. The faster you leave, the better. Same goes for Sparky, a few of the mods, and a bunch of other people. That's still caring, in that I am not apathetic as to your fates, to a certain degree.

    I also care about my family. It would suck if something happened to them. That's caring too.

    The fact that you are even arguing this means that you are not completely apathetic, and thus care.

    Now, please. Try to actually support your points.

    I'm voicing an opinion. It was pretty obvious before, too. Sadly, having those is illegal.

    That's actually what I was thinking. Although I guess I was a part of this conversation, so I can't say anything.

    So I apologise to everyone for that.

    Why is it that every food that tastes good is bad for you and every food that's good for you tastes crappy? Life is cruel. I want a big mac.

    Maybe that's why, to confuse you. It's all an elaborate government plot I tell you!

    Yes, I do. In fact, most people that are of interest are exposed to them frequently.

    Good to know at least you understand where you are.

    There's plenty of healthy stuff that tastes delicious.

    Like Reese's peanut butter cups.

    They have peanut butter in 'em.

    Which has peanuts in it.

    Good for you.
