"Question"

Why should I care about other people?
Why shouldn't I be racist, sexist, nationalist, or any other "bad"ist?
Why?
Why should I care for peoples feelings?
Why should I be nice?
Why should people be nice to me?
Why do people deserve sympathy?
Why do people scowl at me for being "racist"
Why should we care for anyone but ourselves?

That's all one question split into lots of sub questions. Explain.

Aaww, poor you.

Magnetron!!! That is SOOOO cool. i'm gonna call it that from now on

I knew it was something to do with your parents

:P

I know, but I still made it an agreement, sort of.

You know what, you people have convinced me why I shouldn't be like that. Because it's better not to.

On a completely unrelated note, did you know that Microwave in Swedish (i think) is Magnetron?

What a coolname.

If anything, they're setting you an example on WHY to be nice.

And my post wasn't agreeing with you....

An answer for all your quetions- Because there is someone out there who has the power to make your life hell if you do.

For example, if you were to 'hurt my feelings' in whatever way that's possible, i'd 'kick the crap' into you. If you were to stab someone, you'd go to prison.

If you're thinking, why should they do that, it's because they can.

Exactly. If somene treats me like crap, why should I feel teh need to ignore it and be nice to anyone else.
They're setting me an example.

'Yeah, I don't like being treated crap by my parents, so I'll, er, hate everything because my life rules in comparison to 90% of the world. Basta*ds, all of them'

And I'm not complaining about doing the jobs, they have to be done, but telling me to do housework within less than a minute of me waking up is just a teeny weeny wee bit unfair, especially as my wee brother gets away with murder.
