Reply To: Hitch Hikers In Lakewood Ticketed By Police Story

I have helped dozens of people with rides. Most are at bus stops getting soaked or sweating or freezing while waiting for a bus that never seems to come when it is supposed to. And all of them are incredibly appreciative. I got my wife into it (she picks up women of course) and it makes for great dinner conversation and has a huge hashpah on the kids.
Try giving someone a ride some time, you might feel good about yourself

If someone is headed from Flatbush to boro Park and passes a bus stop that is also headed to boro Park. And he sees a yid shivering in the cold, and he drives by, that’s callousness.
Unfortunately I think this thread shows how the Americans “values” of self centeredness has overcome our Chesed DNA. You can call it being a law abiding citizen. I call it rationalization. Do it safely and be a better person.
