Is my dad selfish or what?

[JOURNALIST]

i think you are right,

[LeatherandLace]

Yes he is selfish and sounds like a lazy bum who wants to sit on his fat butt and collect money from the government. Any money spent on another cause would be seen by him as money being taken out of his pocket. Guess he feels that by living in America he is entitled to suck the welfare system dry.

I just think sometimes being idle at home, brings all these kinds of conversations.. have you heard of the saying "Empty mind is a devil's workshop". So you don't get yourself involved into all this. Plus America will not do as he says; so why bother.

But all this shows that you and your father needs to have more open conversations, looks like he is a bad listener. Try to improve your relationship with your dad, more of a kind whereby he listens and understands you and vice-versa.

Your dad isnt selfish, he is smart. America should stay out of other countries affairs. Yes if another country asks for help that is one thing, but usually America barges in like a bull in a china shop and makes things worse. Also America only helps countries that it can get something from. America invades Iraq ( the Iraqi people never asked for your help) but ignores the attrocities going on in the Sudan when they ask for help. Do you know why? Because the Sudan is not rich in oil thats why.

there is actually a lot of people out there but it is a selfish way of thinking

[timd]

Some people don't like to get involved.

[ButaDisciple]

Seems more like you're just saying how you feel. There's not really a question here.

[bettym]

Sounds like your dad has some deep issues from his past which only he can choose to heal from. It is sad because he really is missing out on so much, especially his son.

[Kaykay]

he thinks like a lot of people that America doesn't take care of it's own. I agree that we need to take care of our own before helping other countries...who is sending money to us to help our homeless and hungry? No One...take time to see others point of view even if you don't agree

[Catastrophic__KiddX]

It seems like you've already made up your mind about him?
Why do you need our opinion?
And your question doesn't make full sense.

Anyway, Yes, he does sound selfish.

There you go.
