Hey every soccer fan, take a second to read this!

What's that? You still have some faith in society?
Here's something that will ruin that.
Take a guess as to how many times more people went to the Brazil for the World Cup this year compared to how many people a year go to Brazil to volunteer.
10?
20?
50?!?
200?!?
469 times as many people.
469 times more people will travel somewhere to watch a ball kicked across grass than those who will travel to that same place to help their society and save lives.
This is our society.
 
True, but people aren't SUPPOSED to volunteer, it's a free choice, and I don't think people should be guilted into it, just like I don't think people should be guilted into joining the army during wars.
 
I'm going to my friends' house tomorrow who play soccer to watch the World Cup even though I don't know how soccer is played, mostly to socialize and because my crush will be there. xD

Plus I saw a hockey game once and it was cool, though I'd never seen hockey before. Norfolk Admirals vs. Connecticut Whales. Norfolk won 9/2, and 3 Whales were taken off.

Very little besides
 
That's just because the human as a living being, is quite selfish. They would rather watch their favourite sport played by their idols in an exotic country, than help some people.



That's just how the human is.
 
I don't like soccer/football (whatever you call it), it's greedy and blind, blind to the lives of those they deem lesser than there own. But aimbot I hate more. What do you need?
(Anyone who actually replies with something they need is totally retarded and did not see the purpose of this quote and its origins at all. Those people sadden me.)
 
I don't see any of you volunteering, either, so stop talking about selfishness and such, because most of us are too young.
 
The natural human instinct is to better life for yourself. Most people are like that. I would love to help out people in Brazil but I do not have the time, money, or resources to go there: I just try help people out where I am.
