People who care way too much
By Braden | May 21, 2008
I have a friend who is in an “ethics and values” class. I also took this same class a couple years ago and it hasn’t changed a bit. The actual title for this class should be “Get people angry class” because that’s all that happens. But that’s the best part about it, let me explain.
Neither ethics nor values are universally established, they vary drastically among people. So inevitably, when the teacher asks some ethical question and says, “Discuss,” people say things that can make you mad… but only if you actually care about stuff. I only care about making mad the people who care way too much about everything. Example:
What should you do when a homeless person asks you for money?
Student A: You should get to know them first before you give them anything.
Student B: You should give them money if you can no matter what.
Student C: I’m gonna kill both of you!
These are some of the responses I would have:
1. Well, homeless is a relative term, everybody has a home so technically they are not homeless.
2. I would rob a bank and then give all the money to the homeless people.
3. I was homeless once and all I wanted was beer, not money.
4. All homeless people should be euthanized.
Without doubt half or more of the class would want to stone me. What responses would you have?

I think the best thing that we can do to help is hire them to pull rickshaws around town. This would benefit the local economy and it would give them a steady job. Besides there outside all day anyways. (Thank you Seinfeld)
