    I might be wrong but I don't recall anyone saying everyone can or should be forgiven. Like I said, it's an alternative view. And it's got you all talking. Seems a contentious area for a lot of people.

    It is contentious I am afraid, and it happens quite regularly when this kind of subject is raised.

    I agree with you (as pollycat knows) but we, and others who disagree with them are as entitled to our opinions as they are to theirs.

    I find it incredible that you would not help anyone in the situation described as much as you could.

    Great minds! I have suggested that. Like other MMDs, people on opposing sides will still say it is unrealistic.

    What'll happen is it will be watered down to something so basic it will be impossible to form an opinion!

    "I haven't seen my brother in a long time, now he's very ill in foreign hospital, should I spend money to help him?"

    That's a relief. For a minute there I thought you only entered the thread to have a pop rather than join the debate and tell us all what you would do. Interesting to note that two other people also agree with me & not one of you has gone after them in the same way you all bit with me. Funny that eh. LOL
