First off, Bridged, props for pouring you heart into this discussion. We are all a product of our environment, therefore, this thread is extra Deep.
I love to see the different views. Anyone notice how there's no DEAD WRONG person in this thread. Some of us just have different perspectives, some more limited than others
Look at Banginjimmy's example of selfish people, he highlighted the people that he considers selfish. Although there is a much larger spectrum, those are the select few that he chose to mention because they affect his views the most. Good stuff
