if I saw a couple of young teens after some horrific worldwide disaster - i would try to help em out. not because I was told to do so, but because the feeling to help just comes naturally to me.

you read only what you wanted to in my post
not the entire message that i was trying to share with the rest of you.
got no problem with it, it's your view and not mine....i believe you're entitled to yours. you gave it, so i gave mine

but i'm sorry you think the way you do about our basic human nature. i agree all children are not that way but 99% are, even the gentle ones when it comes down to what they want and they might not get it. go volunteer at a daycare and you'll find out really quick. i have and i also have 2 great kids. the first rule of parenting if you have multiple kids is 'if you got one balloon, you better go get one for the other kid or there will be a fight'
