      There is a very simple and clear answer, but if I was to write it, I would be down voted, banned, and soapboxed to oblivion.

                      I'm afraid you are right, see? Now the world has gone to bed Darkness won't engulf my head I can see by infra-red How I hate the night Now I lay me down to sleep Try to count electric sheep Sweet dream wishes you can keep How I hate the night :rolleyes:

                            The real question is, why do you have an extra 'm' in your link? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Modest_Proposal[^] Mine has no such 'm'. Maybe because you're across the pond? :D edit: Also, I'd never heard of that before. Interesting

                                If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack. --Winston Churchill

                                  You really need to work on your analytical skills. The statement "We're on this planet to help others." neither states that the "Others" are already here nor does it assert that they must be on this very planet to get "our" help, does it? :laugh:

                                  Your time will come, if you let it be right.

                                      Others have been here a long time, They already existed in Roman times as early as in 180-AD Emperor Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus wrote in "Meditations" : “We are the other of the other.” thanks OG, it's not so frequent to get Stoicism quote in TheLounge, so Cynicism and Scepticism are welcome. :)
