Can you say"prig"? Were you bitten by a Methodist?
I use the word deliberately as I'm at a loss understand how the emphasis other's lives is any of your business.
If you lack the maturity and empathy to accept your friends as they are, try to find someone as repressed an insensitive as your good self. With a friend like you that's one less enemy a person would need.
Get over yourself
I'll be frank: Yes, I'm one of those people who actually give a damn when talents are wasted, and the world descends into a pool of rotting filth and corruption. I'm one of those people who get worked up when I see perfectly healthy people begging on the streets, when they can seek proper employment, or at least education, and do their bit for society. I'm one of those people who, albeit in vain, childishly hopes for a society where people actually have a passion for learning, and WANT to use their time productively, instead of lazing around at home watching home-made porn and eating chips off their huge chests.
And yes, perhaps I make a terrible friend because I'm so very picky, but at the moment I have friends (even Christian ones) who understand, and possibly even share my tendencies for "prig"-ness, and I do them the favour of being considerate in return. That is, those 'deserving' of said treatment. (I use 'deserving' to differentiate my friends from those who don't have any sense of honour, nor shame from betrayal, for I have met a sample.) I may be heartless, I may be innately prejudiced, but I sure as hell ain't insensitive.
As can be seen from my, self-admittedly, defensive response.
So I ask you this: In a world decaying under the influence of blind faith and favoured stupidity, how long more will apathy be an option?
