Trolling doesn't mean lying. It means deliberately shit-stirring and causing drama for fun.
Alas I think this boils down to a reading comprehension issue because as I said:
but letting children starve because their parents won't feed them? I think that's a pretty indefensible, inhumane and unethical position. Bordering on trolling, frankly.
Charity =/= anyone forcing you to do anything. I think an ethic of charity and community outreach is necessary in a civilized society. I don't want to live in a dog-eat-dog world where a baby can starve and people find it totally moral to turn their backs on it because they'll be damned if someone else perceives them as feeling obligated!!11!1!!1!
