Why Would We Ever Want to Say What We Did Charitable?
After all...it's boasting, right??
A professor I know and respect with a PhD in Social Psychology told me that we can say what we did charitable not to puff us up, but to set the example for others and move them to do the same.
Illegal aliens will make you pay...legal aliens can get you paid.
I think it's 'puffing yourself up' to think that another person needs your example.
Just get on with it, I say.
Others may disagree, but broadly speaking, it's an aspect of the thai outlook that I like.
Was that the entire OP or did I miss something?

Lost me. What the fuck does "what we did charitable" mean? Charitable is not an adverb.

Still, I'm sure he's one of ECC's finest
The great philosopher Jesus would have argued that doing your good deeds in public means you have received your reward already (no prezzies in heaven then). I'm dubious of those quick to relate their tales of righteousness as in my experience there tends to be an assumption on their part that the listener doesn't do anything charitable. Isn't there an inherent arrogance in assuming the position of role model?

Self praise has never been a good recommendation
I say I do charitable things to make people do the same....even though I don't....so what does that make me (other than the c, k, j or y words).
Riddle me this brother can you handle it
Your style to my style you can't hold a candle to it

I cheat and steal and sin and I'm a cynic
I wish I could be bothered answering this thread, but since nobody else is making sense, I see no reason (other than to be charitable) for me to do so.
WTF are "the c, k, j or y words"?
There are few problems in life that cannot be solved with toast.
One of them, however, is opening a can of corned beef with that stupid key. This cannot easily be done at the best of times, and toast is of surprisingly little use in resolving the issue.
Cunt, kyke/kike, Jew (sorry should have capitalised) and yid!!!
No offence meant (I personally due to a bad bout of smegma keep mine peeled back all the time....so I'm sort of an honourary one).
My friend Phd, MSc, OBE, and Cylce Proficiency Level 3 2nd Class says your right kk.
Moon Lander Champion!As with all things, I think it is 'how' you phrase it.
Discussing charitable projects and/or experiences on a forum or even in person when the subject is broached ain't all bad, imo. But, boasting about it and putting it into a "see, see what I did," context is laughable.
Certainly not. It's a duty for adults. How you manifest that is where the arrogance/boastfulness/immodesty questions come into play.Originally Posted by Mac Donn
kenkers, does anyone REALLY still go on with that shite?
Perhaps a fair point WB in the context of the teacher - young student relationship. I don't, however, feel a moral or social obligation to set an example of how to behave to other autonomous adults.
