Community Service is a required in an elective I am taking as part of my last year in high school, and so far, my thoughts on it have been going well, except this one girl in my class. Maybe it's just me, but she is always...

celticrogue You seem to have the right idea with the thought that community service is more about helping the less fortunate means helping out the families that don't have much or have anything. But this does not mean buying them things or donating money to them. To me,...

My uncle passed away early this morning. He had chosen to donate his body to science. So, there won't be any funeral to attend to. We'll have a memorial service when the weather warms up a bit. This is something new to me. He's...

celticrogue Why are you trying to re-format the drive? The manufacturer has placed a small file on the drive that helps keep track of the files written to the flash memory. This small file is not removable. If you have files that you no longer want, delete them. You can...

Some people are morning people, and some are night owls. Personally, I wake up just before, or during the sunrise, and don't usually get to bed until 12-1am. That makes for a very long day. I would say the best part of my day is...

Do you think that it's fair to charge your adult children rent when you offer to let them live with you to help them get on their feet? It really makes no sense to me. I also don't agree with making a big deal out of loaning...

What is the purpose of helping somebody?

TheRealDawn @dawnald (85146) • Shingle Springs, California 10 Sep 09

When you offer help to somebody, why do you do it? Is it because they need help? Is it because it makes you feel good? Is it because you feel obligated? What is the main purpose of offering help?
