There are
better ways of masturbation, even involving mechanisms.

I think you're confusing guilt and benevolence. If you happened to be walking down the street (implausible I know but just imagine your chauffeur is on strike over being paid the minimum wage) and a child was injured in front of you. If you help out, are you doing it because you'd feel guilt if you didn't, or do you help because you don't want to see someone suffer and you have the means to provide the assistance. The third option is walk on and feel angry that someone else didn't prevent it? A potential fourth is to cut a deal with an ambulance-chasing lawyer for a share of the compensation settlement for referring the case. See what I did there? I suggested that people act for different reasons, so just because you can't understand anyone else's motive but your own shouldn't mean their's aren't genuine to them.

Point me to someone who labels themselves as philanthropic and I'll show you a ponce. However, being kind and socially minded is hardly to be criticised is it? It is after all what's stopping you from robbing grannies on the bus when they have a few quid in their purses that would look nice deposited in your bank account?

The only reason people obey the law (ie - don't rob grannies, etc)
is because they're afraid of the consequent retribution.

Yes ...
... of course it is.
Is this the conspiracy theory you almost believe, as in the QOTW?

*Gets paranoid and feels isolated that I'm potentially the only one that doesn't want to rob grannies regardless of the consequences*

The invisibility cloak, the just and the unjust fella.
You'd as soon as do it if you thought you could.

No I wouldn't.
Never mind the law, I'd most likely burn in hell or something. Now there's a conspiracy theory.

Must go ... got to fill in some tax forms.
I love giving, me.

'Course not. You're better than criminals. You're a better person.
They should have a special area reserved for the good people like you - you should get more priviges than criminals.

What's that? Oh!
