I have no problem helping an old lady pick up her groceries! That's a very nice thing to do, and I go out of my way to help in situations like that.
I consider it a decent thing to do to call the cops when I see a crime in progress. Even video tape it if possible, as it may help in the prosecution. But there is a reason I joined the Navy and not the Marines. Don't like getting shot. Like warm bunks. Air conditioning. The finer things in life*. More power to those who don't have the same aspirations as I do though!
*operative word there.
Perfect and in your dream world everyone would be as passive as you, except for the police when they show up to rescue us. Guess what...if that's your dream I would suggest moving to England or several nations in Europe where you can live it out. A nation of nancies where people can be savagely beaten, mutilated and murdered in public, while everyone in the area sits back and video tapes it. Sorry, but as a society I think we can do better than that.
