Why would it be
irrational not to help me? I'm not important to the world, to society, or even to you. Nothing would happen if I died. It would be perfectly rational for a non-caring person to simply hang up on me. You certainly don't have any legal or civil or even moral obligation to help - no one would blame you.
I think you DO care about feelings...
I was talking about a scenario where you and I know each other. I see that you're talking in the case of a stranger (in this case you) calling. Well, then yes I would not even respond. Why would I help a stranger when there are so many out there in need of help? Help that I won't provide.
It would be irrational not to help only if you want to deal with people blaming you (if I know the person and their circle).
No, I'm pretty sure I don't. People who started the 'blame Vod' threads care.
