    If you can get a teaching qualification, I am pretty sure I can help you to get a job in a tough-ish but friendly school in London. The kids would love you if you are strict, kind and give them loads of practicals - I am serious here!

    In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.

      So responding to an ad hominem attack with an ad hominem attack of your own is preferable to simply not responding at all?

      That is not what I meant. Responding to an ad hominem attack with a placatory or calm response normally makes the other guy look silly.

    Instead of giving a hungry geezer a few coins, I bought him a week's shopping - and I feel good!

      Thank you guys. I'm no saint. I used to walk past these guys but have now lost my fear and engage them instead. I ask their name and why they are out on the streets. Most of the problems tend to be due to mental instability from my straw poll, but they tend to be OK people.

      I have no shame in admitting it makes me feel good to help out others. I bought dinner and a hotel room for a woman and her child a awhile back. I ran into her at a local fast food place and she was trying to get them to let he work for some food. She had been brought down from several states away by her boyfriend and he abandoned her and her daughter to the streets a month later. I put her in tough with locals to get a bus ticket back to new jersey. She couldn't understand why I would he...

      Love that Moontanman. I believe that the good we do comes back to us somehow and be sure that, when you need help, this act of charity will help you in turn. Great job man!

      I agree Jimmy, and I would add the freedom that comes from peace of mind
