Its called introspection.
If you read that thread, I wasn't being elitist. I was actually saying that because I felt a little guilty and as if I was being elitist because I didn't have friends without formal education. And analyzing how that came to be.
But that turned into:
"HUUUURRRR WMR THINKS HE TOO GOOD FOR PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T GET NO COLLEGE DEGREE!!! H8 H8 H8."
Subtlety on a sport message board....its like objectivity from...well, you.

Introspection is also why I'd feel like a choad if I spent $3000 traveling to Central America and did $100 worth of work for impoverished children. I'm funny like that, though.

I sort of see what you are saying. But I doubt the people going are having a negative effect on the people they are visiting. If it is slightly self-centered I have no problem with that. It would be unreasonable to expect completely altruistic behavior.

No. One. Does. This.
Your conjecture grows tiresome.

You don't have to explain yourself. Your post history speaks for itself.

Are you basing this on your poor choice of facebook friends?
My best guess, as well. I have plenty of annoying FB Christian friends who seem to be compelled to post cloying "God loves you" GIFs, but it just isn't a big thing for me. Apparently it is for wmr.

I've weeded everyone out who was annoying.

I will say I like Christians slightly less after this thread.
The average American has an IQ below 100. For sports fans, I expect its probably much lower.
Off to fly that box of band-aids to Honduras. No shame in this game.
And Roger, the thread was about an idea. Sorry you weren't able to discern that, but not surprised. Thanks for the philosophy 101 refresher, though.

Well, there's that. And I've "unfriended" plenty. Trouble is a lot of those annoying posts come from friends who most of the time have something useful to say about my hometown.
The flipside is "friends" I've developed through software development. As far as I can tell every European is an idiot on politics. Every. Single. One.
None of this is meant to excuse wmr. He's clearly way wrong, and refuses to accept his wrongness. Sez me.

Not everyone disagreeing is Christian, or even religious. But you being clairvoyant, figured you'd have already known that.

And no logic in your head tonight, apparently. Keep going back to that shitty analogy like a broken record

Well someone needs to do it cause I'm not goin down to those Latin American shite holes... I'll just stick with giving clothes and shoes to poor kids in the Memphis ghetto and Mississippi Delta.

Have you ever gone on one of these trips? Probably not. Which means you have no idea what it's like. So you don't know what you're even talking about. You're making judgements based on what you saw from pictures which most the time are taken the last day when they're saying goodbyes to the people they helped and don't include a lot of the work they actually did.
Our church recently had two trips to Honduras and Guatemala (which I have never been able to go on) and on each trip half the group played with kids and did VBS type stuff (which I assume you're putting in the patty cake with orphans category) and the other half made mortar, put up bricks, built a set of stairs to the second floor of the orphanage, did some roofing and some other things that have slipped my mind at the moment. Yet the things I saw about the trip on Facebook were pictures of the people they worked with and of them "playing patty cake with orphans". So maybe you should actually find out about what they did on the trip rather than make assumptions based on what you see on Facebook.

I'm not angry about how others spend their money. I just see it as misdirected in some instances.
If you just sit on your butt and write out a check, you're not really involved. And a person who goes once, is more likely to donate multiple times and go back multiple times.
I'm sure some people feel really self-righteous about their good deeds, but they get their reward down here.
