@badp So is spending time with your kids.

badp

I didn't know having kids was a debilitating medical condition with no known cure such as leglessness.

No. 7892142

@badp That didn't even make sense. You were saying helping a disabled person (because you like to) was a time sacrifice. I was saying, so is spending time with your kids.

badp

anything you do is a time expense

you might as well compare leglessness to a gym subscription

No. 7892142

@badp You still seem to be missing the point entirely, I'm afraid. We're talking from the viewpoint of the able person (the helper/guy who plays with his kids/guy who goes to the gym). So your comparisons are quite nonsensical in this context.

Well, I was. Sorry.

badp

Yeah, that's the viewpoint. "Raising your own child" and "giving your service to somebody in need" are quite different even if the somebody in need is your own child. IMVHO

the nonsense of the comparison is my point.

No. 7892142

@badp Technically, your kid is also someone in need. In my eyes, the thing you are doing is spending your time to improve someone else's life. And nobody would say the kid would feel bad because someone spends time with them.

badp

the needfulness is not permanent in the general case

and even over the same period, the amount of needfullness will be higher.

If the outlook doesn't seem much bleaker than the general case you are a stronger and better person than I am.

The Double Down is a sandwich offered by Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC).

It is also available with grilled chicken fillets instead of the Original Recipe fried fillets, and with KFC's Zinger fillets (spicy) to customers in select nations. KFC describes the Double Down as a "sandwich" although it does not have bread. == History == The KFC Double Down was initially test marketed in Omaha, Nebraska, and Providence, Rhode Island....
