MAP Forum

This may sound terrible, but I would not help an adult stranger in an emergency situation.

The reason? I feel that most adults want MAPs dead for being MAPs. Why should I help such a person?

Obviously, this is extreme. The endangered person could be a MAP or someone supportive of MAPs.

What are your thoughts on this?

Yes, I would. Your anger towards others for not understanding MAPs is a bit extreme. Don't be so cruel. Sorry for the bluntness, but this can't be healthy for you.

If that even enters into the equation, I'm happy you are not a physician.

I would.

Perpetuating the cycle of hatred is not the way.
I'd rather "kill them with kindness", as some people say.

Yes. We shouldn’t separate ourself from our humanity like antis have been trying to do to us.

Well, as much as I find it hard to imagine a pro-help perspective, I won't try to persuade anyone otherwise. It's probably better for one's mental health, and for the perception of the MAP community...

MAP or not, this should be a personal choice based upon how safe you feel about stopping to help. I've stopped sometimes and other times I kept going. It all depends on what I see approaching. Broke down and on a cellphone? I'll likely keep going. Flat tire and looking helpless (no phone, small kids, etc.), I am likely stopping. Witness them wreck, I am stopping to call 911 and check for injuries.
