Is it weak for someone to offer their seat on the train to an eldery man or women? Is a soldier weak if he offers chocolate to the kids in Afghanistan or anywhere else?

Lol, all this fuss over me, I feel so special . I don't see any reason why I should be kind, I am fair but not kind, and yes I would give an afghan kid some chocolate but depending on the circumstances.
I also don’t need to justify myself to you women.

Also I am sorry for bad mouthing The Duke Of Edinburgh award I wasn't 100% sure what it was, I was just going off what my cousin has to do, maybe I'll look into it.

I wasn't attacking you mate, just trying to figure out your take on the whole 'kindness' thing. Being overly kind is a weakness, such as giving away all your money to others and then ending up worse off. Then I guess you can argue that any value or moral standard can be a weakness.
Courage could be a weakness if your a leader and lead men into situations that are not needed, and so on.

Exactly, if being chivalrous and putting other people first occaisionally makes me weak, then so be it.

I'm 55% biffed but three years ago whilst in the Smoke (London) I gave up my seat for a person who I felt needed the seat more than myself. Any Eeijut can be hard, tough and superior.

It's the guy or indeed girl who has the mindset to give other people the nod who count for me. Karlbfc you are beginning to really annoy me in no uncertain terms which is not a good idea really. Nine times out of ten I PM people who I feel need to wind it in a tad. Heres one word....BEHAVE.
