I can attest to that. My son worked at Wendy's as a teenager and
told us much the same thing. He is now a vegetarian.

At least he was a man and admit he wanted food instead of booze. You
did the right thing but you should have got some chili for yourself

I make better chili than they sell at Wendy's

Jill

No doubt! I've seen some of your dishes and descriptions. Yummy!

Evelyn, that was MY post. Copy/pasted after being looked up on
Google,
no
doubt. I have no idea why this person decided to re-post my post
about
my
buying lunch for a homeless person. Just another example of because I
asked
NMR to not top post, the trolls are crawling back out of the woodwork.
I
seem to attract them like flies.

Hey, I think that post made you look pretty good - compassionate and
willing to help someone. So if the troll was trying to hurt you by
reposting that, they failed.



Not only did it make you look great Jill, but it is a good reminder to all
of us to have compassion for those we see on the side of the road, so to
say. Even a troll wannabe can post good from time to time.

Oh please. It is utterly disgusting to toss a crumb to a desperate person
then post about it so every halfwit here says "good for you!"

Ugh. Where were you people hatched?
You do good in order to do good, not to display it and
get "points" for it.

No wonder so many of you have so much to whine about.
Anyone who would make that kind of post--or think that post
reflects well on the one who made it--has been raised in an
environment so hideously impoverished with regard to morality
and just plain decency that they are way beyond any help.

Ugh. ugh.

ugh.

I don't see how it can get any clearer
the real obstacle is that people don't want to hear this

You have spent your arrows in vain my precious my love

****em if they can't take a joke

arrogance comes so easily, thank the Lord im not like him or her
to delight in anothers misfortune, all the while time and chance baby
is dealt to everyone

i could have been born a poor black child in Africa...

I get so sick of Jill a talented soul...meatloafing around this
newsgroup
But you could never talk her out of her complacency and mediocrity
because you have to build someone up for them to wanna make a
difference to make a change...

ah, they are not true my delight, they are not true to themselves

Barry, hon, Jill is the least of the objectionable here.

I'm not a vegetarian, but I enjoy a decent bean soup made without beef. And
I never did like Wendy's chili even *before* I knew what they did to add
flavour to it! LOL

People do good for all sorts of reasons. And as long as what someone
offers me really is helpful, I don't give a damn what their motives are.

OK, suppose this is true. I'm not saying it is. But suppose it is. Is
this someone's fault, what kind of environment they were *raised* in?
What kind of warped mindset tries to hold people responsible for how
their parents behaved when they were children?

Why don't you save your righteous moral indignation for something worthy
of that response? Such as child abuse, animal neglect, invading sovereign
nations without provocation... and not try to analyze people's motives for
doing something nice, in the hope of discovering some minor imperfection
you can attack? Nobody's motives are pure, except maybe yours, of course.

Nobody. I think Jill was more shocked that the guy actually accepted
the food than anything else. And I think that's what prompted her to
post about it.

At least that's how I took it. I don't think anyone was really
impressed that Jill bought some guy a hamburger, nor was she looking
for any approval.

*C'mon* - the people here aren't *that* insipid.
