Two men were tested. The man you'd least expect passes the test while the other damns himself.
It's like a parable in real life.

It’s easy to forget (or hard to remember) that amazing things still happen every day. And that there are still good people out there.

These guys take their Airsoft seriously. That Ghillie suit is something to behold. I got stuck in this rabbit hole for a few hours today watching these guys. Did you know there are 24 hour airsoft parks running longterm scenario warfare? Who knew?

And it's often the people you'd least expect. That moment at 0:55 where that second guy turned his back is so sad.SuburbanFarmer wrote: ↑Tue May 29, 2018 10:18 pmIt’s easy to forget (or hard to remember) that amazing things still happen every day. And that there are still good people out there.
From our perspective in Christianity, his spirit just died right there, whereas the thief chose love.
Most of us are like that thief. We are sinners, but we want to choose life and love. Imagine the hell of being the man so dead inside he simply turned his back on another right as the train was coming down the line.
Each of our lives is like that moment in the train station.

That's actually what I would expect of most big city dwellers. It's not an environment that allows for human emotions.Speaker to Animals wrote: ↑Wed May 30, 2018 5:55 pmAnd it's often the people you'd least expect.

The French chief of investigations for the Paris transportation system put it succinctly enough:
https://www.rt.com/news/325745-pickpock ... ris-metro/Emmanuelle Oster, chief of investigations for Paris transportation, who narrates the video in French, marvels at the "paradox" of the thief returning to aid the man while a bystander watched him fall and did nothing to help.
"He knows he’s a thief, and maybe that makes him a bastard," Oster says. "But he isn’t so much of a bastard as to let this guy get electrocuted on the tracks."
"There’s a philosophical lesson to be learned here," Oster adds. "Inside every thief there’s a human being, and in every innocent bystander there could be a bastard."

Re: YouTube stuff
It’s ironic you should comment on this first, Fife. Those bikers, they don’t care what the law says, but that’s what Libertarians depend on: people not coming and taking their shit because the law says not to. You’re afraid Government takes your shit but government is all that’s between you and bikers.
