Re: Going into a burning building to save a child
Too many differences
1. This child is right there in front of you and is real while children you can't see and will never meet are just concepts.
2. Saving this child is based on your ability to do so (Assuming no one else is present). Not sending money though doesn't prevent someone else from sending money. That so many people can send the money leads to apathy and no need to act.
3. General distrust of charities given the vast majority are only quasi-legitimate.
