I was literally, and still am the guy that helps everyone else. Keeps everyone else's head above water. Saves others from themselves, from life, bails people out. That's me. And for now it's been enough, but unlike Bruce Wayne, I don't feel as if I owe them. I ask myself why I do it, when I never ever am given the same consideration in return.

That's where I struggle.

What buzz said too, but really you do it because you like to do it. You wouldn't if you didn't. And if you don't like to help people without any consideration or return, stop. And people will learn.
I once went $6000 into debt for someone else and it was the most absurd thing I ever did. I never got even a hint of appreciation, let alone repayment. It wasn't even the money, either. It was the principle of the thing.

But basically long story short, if you don't get enjoyment or fulfillment from helping others, stop doing it. You're not doing anyone a disservice. People need to learn to not depend on others when they are capable.

I can't stop helping people. I just can't.

It's what I do. Some things have no hidden agenda, no origin... they simply are. And that aspect of my personality is inherent.

To be fair, Stacey was going to kick buzzsaw in the nuts over a non-GnR related discussion.  Buzzsaw no like.

I see you learned your "3rd Person Lesson"

Just long enough to protect my nuts.

Nothing but class from Jack! Glad he set things straight professionally.

Yep.

I read a little attitude into his comments as well. The man used to get SO pissed at things being taken out of context back in the day.

Yeah I could read a little annoyance and frustration that could of been channeled through Uncle but I think Jack took it in a more adult way. Agreed!  Hell I would be a little pissed if people were twisting my words around. Wouldn't have gone on a rant or anything.

Man Shoots Girlfriend In The Back While Fighting Over The Walking Dead
 
Rick Grimes on AMC's Walking Dead is allowed to shoot people—he lives in a TV zombie apocalypse (AMC).
People take their Sunday night television dramas very seriously and not everyone will walk away from an episode feeling the same way you do, but holy hell that is not a reason to shoot them in the back with a rifle! Which is exactly what 26-year-old Long Island man Jared Gurman is accused of doing to his girlfriend after watching the mid-season finale of The Walking Dead on Sunday.
 
According to reports Gurman and his girlfriend began arguing on Sunday night after the hit AMC zombie drama ended. Apparently the couple disagreed as to the plausibility of a real life zombie outbreak. "He feels strongly about the possibility that some military mishap could occur. She thinks it’s ridiculous,” Nassau County Detective Lt. Raymond Cote explained. “She was not taking him seriously or taking the show as seriously as he does.”
Upset over the argument, the girlfriend left (if only they'd just watched Homeland), but continued to fight over text messages. Finally, concerned over Gurman's mental state, she returned to the apartment to calm him down. But when she arrived the zombie believer was outside with a .22 caliber rifle.

"She tried to diffuse the situation and calm him down and told him, 'Let's just go to bed,'" Cote said.
The victim walked up the stairs to the apartment when Gurman pointed the rifle and fired one round into the middle of her back, police said. "The rifle went off accidentally," Gurman's attorney, Edward L. Lieberman, said after the arraignment in First District Court in Hempstead.

Around 2:40 a.m. Gurman took the 26-year-old young woman to the Long Island Jewish Medical Center where she is still in stable condition (despite still having a bullet in her body). Gurman, meanwhile, was promptly arrested and charged with attempted murder. He was since ordered jailed without bail.

In the opening sequence of The Walking Dead the main character wakes up to eventually find out his wife has left him for another man. Here's hoping Gurman's alleged victim wakes up to find herself another one.

I was going to put this in Hollywood Blvd but decided on The Garden seeing as it had more to do with a stupid person than the TV show.
