Humanitarianism

[Cletus]

President George Washington and President Thomas Jefferson strongly believed in Humanitarian Values and Inalienable Human Rights -- the first ten Amendments were signed by them.

What?

What?"

Apparently this is the crap they are teaching in government schools these days

That was astute.

The truth often is.

And like most morons she made scads more money than you did. And she still has a sizable and growing following. You only get recognition on an obscure political forum.

So, I attack the content of your post, and you direct a personal attack at me.

That means you can't refute the content of my post.

Ergo you think Ayn Rand was a total and complete moron.

I'm glad you agree.

You attacked the content of his post? Are you for real?

That's nuts. You didn't attack his post, he didn't attack you, and your last post, while it has the form of an argument, lacks all logic.

GETTING BACK ON TOPIC: Humanitarianism, seems to always be what “we” give to “them”. Its supreme appeal is that it trumps all other systems and faiths, since it brings comfort to those persecuted in the name of all ideologies, religious and secular. It is elevated over all other forms of giving. Dissent falls silent and we drop our coins into the great collecting box of conscience, satisfied we have done our duty.

As motivation to charity, fine, as motivation to welfare, not.

The humanitarian philosophy seems to date from the late 1800s, early 1900s, and seems attached to Red Cross.

It's distinct from humanism.

You need a BIG box of Kleenex.

That is not what it means, at all.
