Why bother helping people?

My school day consists of the following

1)Sleeping
2)Talking
3)Procrastinating

So I was in the School library one day to finish up a homework assignment that was due next period(Don't procrastinate, kids.) , when I heard a girl talking to the most annoying son of a mother. She said that she was going to go to a mission trip to Africa this summer. The dumb ass decided to open his mouth to let loose his amazing philosophy.

"Why would you help anyone who can't even help themselves?!"

This pissed me off for many reasons.
1)The boy who said this is rich. He had everything spoon fed to his fat ass. Amazing irony, since he doesn't help himself. He has his parents help him instead.

2)Yes, you shouldn't give a thousand dollars to some hobo that refuses to work for a living. It's Africa, they live in villages and they walk for miles and miles for some dirty, diseases infected water. They do help themselves, you can only help yourself to the amount of things in your power. Not everyone experiences some miracle that changes their financial state.

3)Why would you say anything like this to a nice girl who only wants to help people in need? Basically flat out saying, "No, what you believe in is wrong and stupid. You're retarded for even thinking like this."

But you know, that kid has to be right! No, don't go and help the starving children of Africa. How dare you! Look at them and their grimy lifestyle, they don't have a closet full of Abercrombie and a brand new mustang car. Until you have these, you have definitely not helped yourself at all.

Ain't that right kids? Ya, your meager efforts to get money to support your AIDs infected parents are disgusting, you lower life form. Until you have all your earthly desires spoonfed to you, you know nothing about helping yourself.
