Comment on Can we stop asking people who are on the brink of death and suffering greatly to sacrifice themselves for a bunch of able bodied people who refuse to stand up and sacrifice themselves for us?

So, you a cat? You do nothing for anyone else and pretend you don’t use any resources?

There are plenty of people who took care of your dirty ass, whoever you are. If you are still breathing, someone gave a shit enough about you at some point to stick a bottle in your mouth to keep you from starving.

Hence, no one is an island and when you pretend otherwise, you prove what a kept, babied, ignorant person you are.

That argument is incredibly disrespectful of OP. You should be ashamed.

  Its the exact same thing I tell every libertarian asshole. You are all chained dogs who think you are lone wolves, can’t survive without whatever master you serve and bark at the rest of us to “do better”.
  
  You told OP you think less of them for the post but call me disrespectful. Get fucked.

    Correct. Your “no man is an island” arguments imply OP has some obligation of performance. OP has no such obligation. OP is not an undue burden on society. No quid pro quo is required or even expected. The benefits OP has received from society do not create the obligations you imply.
    
    OP is free to say no to this and any request they do not wish to fulfill. Your “island” arguments imply otherwise. Your arguments suggest OP owes something that they certainly do not. Yes, you are being unduly disrespectful of OP.
    
    The problematic part of OP’s narration begins when OP takes personalnoffense at having been asked for help.
