Good info about the vegas shooting

I won't belittle you for your stance...but you are being rather condescending to people who would do otherwise.

Not everyone should stay. However, I must ask, if everyone were to leave cause it wasn't their problem what would that say about us as a people?

Condescending or honest?? If ya can't handle the truth, stay out of the kitchen.....

Say about us?? That we have a strong sense of self preservation and a desire to live... You be the good Samaritan, I have things to do at home...

Condescending unless you actually believe the medic skills are magic.

Have at it, man....

I have a conscience I've gotta live with.

Matthew 25:35-40

34“Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. 35‘For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in; 36naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’ 37“Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink? 38‘And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You? 39‘When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’ 40“The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’

I'm pretty sure giving medical assistance, or simply stopping to help someone up who has fallen while trying to escape a shooter/bomber/etc will qualify as doing unto Jesus as noted above. For me, it is less about being able to sleep at night and more about living what I believe. Though, I don't have the mad first-responder skills someone like @wsfiredude and others here, do.

Surprisingly, though, in an emergency, it doesn't take being an EMT/paramedic/nurse/doctor to be able to do a lot of good medically. Just knowing basic first aid will allow you to help a lot of people and put you in probably the top 95% of people when it comes to knowing what to do. I've been there/done that a time or two (not in a shooting, of course) and was amazed how no one else knew to do simple things like asking people questions to help keep them from going into shock, elevating feet when necessary, putting direct pressure on a wound to control the bleeding, etc.

The following two verses of Contemporary
scripture should settle this dispute...Or not...HAHAHAHA!!!

The Clash 3:10 1982

Darling, you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be there till the end of time
So you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

I'll always tease,tease,tease
You're happy when I'm on my knees
One day is fine and the next is black
So if you want me off your back
Well, come on and let me know
Should I stay or should I go?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

The indecisions bugging me
If you don't want me set me free
Exactly who I'm supposed to be
Don't you know which clothes even fits me?
Come on and let me know
Should I cool it or should I blow?

Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
And if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know

Houston 4:43 1992


If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I... will always love you, ooh
Will always love you
You
My darling, you...
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories –
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good-bye.
Please don't cry:
We both know I'm not what you, you need


Lo, Verily it has been proclaimed from on High in the Charts that this is your decision to make and yours alone!!

Yeah, I know, but if I'd used her name, it'd have stolen the thunder because all you guys would have thought about was "Boobies" and once ya'll go down that path it's nigh on impossible to reel you back in....

Damned, ya'll sound so noble and honorable and brave.. wait until you hear one sail by your head and let's see if you're still so brave.... Oh, and I almost forgot to mention that ya'll are also real good at reading between the lines, even when there's no space there, so make it up...
