Quit worryin about all of your friends, will ya? Are ya livin in a Commune with 'em, er somethin??? If they're adults, they should be striken out for themselves without leanin all over you!!!

Human compassion dictates that one should be concerned for one's fellow man. Noblisse oblige dictates that, as someone who has had every advantage in life, I owe my time, my resources, and my voice for those who have not had many, if any, of those advantages.

OMG!!! You need to buy, read and own Ayn Rand's "The Virtue of Selfishness!"

Is this some creed you've dug out of the Judeo/Christian ethic somewhere? Or did it come out of the Roman Empire/Dark Ages or some such?

You stop given them "friends" fish right now and start teachin 'em how to fish for themselves. Don't be settin up some liberal "plantation" for 'em to become your dependents/slaves, ya hear??? Unless they're genuinely afflicted with Arrested Development, they'll take far better care of themselves than you could ever do for them!!! What your doing is arrogant and hurtful, otherwise.
