Jaguar, DarkArt, back me up on this one.
In the punk rock community, if someone falls down at a show, practically everyone around them stops moshing and picks 'em up so they don't get trampled. For as "violent" of a scene as it supposedly is, they actually have some shred of respect for their fellow human.
But your average, everyday Joe and Jane can't even stop for the two seconds to pick a guy up because saving 75 cents on a Wii is JUST THAT IMPORTANT.
I find this really rather sad, because even the smallest amount of savings (regardless if it was a Wii they were after or an HDTV or whatever) is enough to send people into a selfish frenzy. Further proof that no matter how civilized and evolved we are, money (even saving a few pennies) will break people down into the dumbest of animals.
