The story is not the best right now but its all America has to offer on daytime TV.

Not before time. I think we broke that ground in the UK in "Eastenders" in 1987. Mainstream prime time family viewing.

Dear Pat,
What's all this about it taking a true believer to be compassionate? A believer in what?
Isn't compassion a universal human emotion which anyone can feel whatever they believe or fail to believe?
BTW the kiss wasn't bad either!
Love,
Anthony

I think he means that people who claim to believe in God but have no compassion for others are lairs and hypocrites so they have no right to call themselves a believer. It is easier to hate people rather than love. It seems to point out arrogance as a horrible crime few people notice. Few people who are overly proud admit their own problems and overemphasize everyone else's mistakes. In theory compassion is a universal emotion it tends to be hard for people to show love to those they admonish however.
BTW: The rest of this story is under Lukevanfan and the start is being uploaded by Markdutchviewer if you want to watch it from the beginning.

It's still a big thing for America however you can't forget America is a highly sexually conservative nation generally moderate depending on other issues. We seem to love violence. Maybe I'm young and naive but I don't understand why we applaud violence but sex is still very taboo. This causes controversy in America more so than any other topic (anything seen as overtly sexual). I still don't understand why it's very confusing for this country to be so unreasonable. Too many crazy religious fanatics I guess. Pray Conservatives don't take the presidency in November or everyone could be in trouble.

Dear Pat,
It's not just in the USA that violence seems to be tolerated and sex not.
Love,
Anthony

Dear Pat,
I think I am compassionate. I think I find it easier to love people than to hate them. I think I am very arrogant - in the sense that I KNOW when I am right and don't give way to authorities.
So when I asked my friend Hazel what she does with her days and she replied "I save souls." my rejoinder was "Oh well! You can't save mine because I haven't got one!"
Thank you for the details of the rest of the story. I won't be trying to follow it, I'm afraid, as I don't watch television - I have no spare time! The last two occasions I turned the television set on were the boat race 2007 and the boat race 2008! I reckon that proves I'm really arrogant, don't you?
Love,
Anthony

Compassion is a thing not dolled out in endless amounts.
Compassion goes where it is deserved.
When compassion fails then ambivilance takes its place.
Now that may seem cold... but the world is a cold hard place...
It is only sincerity that warms it a bit... Once that is cast aside then one gets what one deserves.
Life is great for me... Most of the time... But then I meet people online... Very few are real friends... Many say they are but know nothing of what it means... Some say they are, but are so shallow...
