This shows how upside down our world really is. Not to say the young lady wasn’t kind, but the fact that cutting up a piece of ham for someone gets this kind of reaction is very telling. What a callous and horrible people we’ve become when such a small, albeit kind, act is noticed. Think of it....$16,000.00 for a small courtesy. It also teaches that anyone else who displays such kindness should expect huge rewards.

The GREATNESS was because it was a BLACK GAL doing it for an OLD WHITE GUY!!! FABULOUS!!! A TON of Americans are KIND, but mostly they are CONSERVATIVE!!! This gal did NOT get eaten alive by the LEFTIST RHETORIC!!

I couldn’t agree more. A real act of kindness would be changing the diaper of a creep who shows up at the ER claiming the mentality of a two year old. Heh.

This shows how upside down our world really is.

I'm inclined to agree.This act certainly suggests...*strongly* suggests...that this young woman is worthy of high respect the fact that this much of a fuss was made about it is an indictment,not of the kid (I call her a kid because she's young enough to be my grandchild) but of our society.

I'm pushing 70 yet when I see an older person,a person with an obvious disability,a pregnant woman or a woman with a young child on the subway I get up and offer him/her my seat...while far younger people stay seated.

Does that make me a hero? Most assuredly not.But,IMO.it does say something about how kids have been raised in recent years.Of course I'm not including this young woman in that "indictment".I can easily see her doing the same thing I do.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things."
Philippians 4:8 (NIV)

I disagree. That is okay. However when such kind courtesies are rewarded this is good.

These small courtesies are often not rewarded. I myself have done such with no reward and expected none. An old couple on the side of the road with a flat tire. They were incapable of changing it. The were in their 80s. I saw their problem and stopped and changed their tire for them. They thanked me. I felt good all day. I expected nothing and received nothing. It was a good day for me.

Same mentality as LGBTs are brave and courageous and everyone else should put them on pedestals.

A simple “thank you” is sufficient for cutting up the meat.

When I help someone (who I am not obligated to help) I feel good about it. Reward? Nice but not expected, or missed if not forthcoming.
