I find it disgusting to use other people's unfortunate situation to help yourself put things in perspective.

I agree with this, actually.

Saying, "well, I may have a ton a debt and no job, but at least I'm not that guy over there!" seems rude. Looking at those pictures "for perspective" isn't going to help any of those kids (or anyone else, for that matter).

you write eloquently, although, you lost me with your last sentence.

(haha, and I was quoting Nietzsche)
Yeah, that was directed more at the real Nietzsche then at you. I've never experienced someone use so much language and intellect toward the end of not expressing a cohesive thought.
