Apparently you dont really know how they work. An entire family ran a phony group of charities for years, took hundreds of millions of dollars in the process and used it for their own personal benefit.
that shit happens all the time. sociopaths are by definition mentally unstable, it's called a personality disorder like ASPD, that shit is in the DSM
Im an asshole for arguing on the internet. Sometimes Im abrasive to people in my personal life. I still empathize with people. I know starting a phony cancer charity is wrong and most people do too. So I dont do it. These people didnt think so.
Just because they didn't donate the money doesn't mean they don't have empathy and are sociopaths. Wtf are you talking about. I'd gladly take money from idiots who donate to shitty charities, I hate those kinds of people because they want to think they're contributing but they don't want to actually contribute to anything, they'll just write a check and call it a day. It's pretty shitty to say you're going to give the money to cancer and then not do that, but would the money even do much good? Even if they had donated all that money we probably wouldn't have gotten the cure for cancer. Do we really want to cure cancer though? There's too many damn people on this planet and if we start curing shit like cancer this problem will only get exponentially worse. I'm probably being ignorant in assuming the money for this shit is supposed to go for the cure for cancer, there's probably a lot more. Actually though the fact that charity sent out ibuprofen pisses me off. If I was that charity I'd send them the good shit, like Dilaudid or oxycontin or Opana. If I had cancer and was gonna die I'd want drugs to take away the pain and be high as fuck for the rest of my life. So now that I think of it, those guys are real dicks. They totally didn't empathize with the cancer patients who wanted some actual pain management. That doesn't mean they don't have the capacity to empathize or that they are sociopaths. The difficult reality to accept is that people who don't empathize with someone in any given case still have the capacity to empathize, they're just stupid and weren't thinking about the other person in that case.
