Now a days people don't help?

I'd love to have someone like you around, if I were to get attacked. It's scary to think of how apathetic people can be. There is more than one way of getting involved or to help. As long as one can help out, instead of walking away, ignoring it. If it were me, I wouldn't physically get in the middle of the bashing, because I know my limits and weakness. But I would get help, distract, get a large object to swing, etc. There are ways of helping out and getting involved to help our fellow people. Even to give assistance to the victim after the fact. But to walk away, that is uncool... But then again, I can't say that is wise 100% of the time, for there are different social conventions and rules or lack of rules in different cultures, sub-cultures, and countries.

People are so ignorant these days! So, don't worry about anything coz they are just making fools out of themselves. I also have experienced the same problems, but I stayed patient looking for and having good friends, and I did.

While some don't, many people do offer or provide help to the extent of their abilities or resources.\n\nSometimes, though, when someone offers help and the intended recipient doesn't think it is "enough" (has happened), the giver becomes a bit jaded. \n\nKeep in mind that the person down on his luck may be asking help of someone who is just barely scraping by themselves. Each situation is unique.

Maybe you should try to find a different friend, you can change or help somebody who doesn't want help.

That attitude totally drives me crazy also.  I think people have just gotten so used to having things handed to them or having their problems "fixed" so that they don't have to take responsibility for themselves.  During the Depression or even the Westward Expansion people sacrified to make their futures better.  I don't see anyone giving up anything these days if it means the neighbors might have more.

People who ask questions then don't listen to the answer.

the ones that don't recognize it are far more in need...as they will continue to effect everyone around them, and even themselves in a usually negative fashion...and they usually refuse to get help and won't get help...until it is too late...at least a person who is aware of it,...will try to do something about it to change it imo

Are you CRAZY?? People look out for others ALL the time everywhere. Wether it is something that seems small, like letting someone buying one or 2 items go before you and your cart full of groceries at the store or, a big thing like helping people that survived Hurricane Katrina by inviting them in your home.\n\n Have you ever heard of food stamps or a free lunch program at school?\n Have you ever heard of Feed the children charity or the Center for Missing and Exploited children?\n  Has anyone offered you help while you were stranded on the road or let you use their celphone after an accident?\n  Have you ever seen or met a teacher, firefighter, social worker, police officer, Marine, a scientist...\n I could go on and on and on and on.\nOf course people worry about themselves but I havn't met ONE person that I know of that was not concerned for the wellbeing of another person. Even the most self-centered people I have met are concerned for, and help others.\n Why are you so pessamistic and only see the bad in people?\nWe all make mistakes but, for the most part, I think, by far, the majority of people make a point of helping others.\nWhat are you doing to help?\n\n\n I could go on and on and.

I think it is as simple as people not wanting to become embroiled in someone else's problem.  Most people feel that if they ignore the cries, perhaps someone else will help.  Some people feel they have enough of their own problems to deal with.  This is not right, but I am sure it is what goes through people's minds.

I don't think it's so much a matter of people being too dependant on authority as it is a matter of people not wanting to take responsibility for themselves any more. People need to be told what to do nowadays because they don't like thinking for themselves, don't like having to be the one responsible if something happens that they don't like, don't like being the reason for something happening that doesn't benefit themselves.\n\nIt's a sad world that we have birthed, and our children are going to pay dearly for it.

Those who want to help others first need help themselves

There is not enough being done to stop the hatred and as long as people view others as a threat they are not going to help them.  It shouldn't be this way but the fact is that most people won't open their door to someone they don't know even if that person is in need...they don't want to get involved and that is sad.  Many an innocent person is hurt everyday because of ignorance but until people see one another as equals it is inevitable it will ever change.

there are really selfish people in the world today. I do believe in taking care of the ones around you before anyone else. Reality check do people keep updated on disaters and over seas missions? if so are they true. It's just the waty the world is today. More people need to turn their eyes back on their creator Lord God Almighty. What if people had to live back in those days,they wouldn't make it.
