"Further, I am talking about ordinary citizens who have those obligations as a member of a civilized society. Exactly the opposite of your claim that I think the RC and SA should bear the responsibility."

Amnesty International was blaming the Red Cross and the Salvation Army not ordinary citizens. The post you replied to said;

"Relief organizations are CHARITIES, and as such, have NO obligations whatsoever.Goddamned communists in AI."

The article said;

"Relief groups have an obligation to make vulnerable populations a top priority when planning and operating shelters, said Sheila Dauer, director of women's human rights for Amnesty International USA..."

I don't know where you got the idea we were discussing the obligations of ordinary citizens, but that isn't the case.

Read what I wrote. Don't make up stuff that I never said about charities. Don't change the meaning of my posts, they are self-sufficient. I made a comment about society, not charities, having obligations. Get over yourself.
