I know a club of rich people that are rumored in most conspiracy theories to be attempting to help the public in some way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freemasonry


Not all Freemasons are rich. In fact, none of them here are at all. In my city, most Masons are from an army background - mostly retired officers and such.

My family has a history of Freemasonry, and we are not rich (although we were during my great-grandfather's time). Nevertheless, it's nothing more than a charity club with a rather amusing disguise.

On the main topic - having money, or the lack of it, has absolutely nothing to do with charity. You can be a selfish person who's poor, or a rich person who's selfless. It essentially boils down to our personality.

Depends on the indervidrel really....

I mean you get nasty poor people as well as nasty rich people.

Although my man says that (in genrel) that the rich don't give a fig about the poor!

If you don't mind this is a very upsetting subject for me (I have my reasons) so I'll go now.

Ta now

people that sit on their backsides i will leave sitting.
people who struggle and try hard but fail i will help.
i will not make myself poor in helping unfortunate people because it means that they have dragged me down into their hole.

poor people are always inclined to look for a way out of poverty, and if everyone else is poor then they have no opportunity to climb up on.

i am rather simple and silly and i have found ways to make good money because i do not sit around wallowing in laziness and self despair. people have either courage and determination or they have resignation to their defeatist attitudes.

i will help people who are disabled and try, and they are very glad i can help them.
