Would you kick a man when he is down or help lift him up?

I'd in most cases either leave him there or lift him up, I try to leave things better than what I found them..

I wouldn't kick someone when they're down, but I only have strength for my son and I.

I don't normally kick anyone when they're down.
Not even those I put down myself, like rabid dogs.

But to the point of the question of kicking or helping...
It simply depends upon who, history, and context.

The question is too open ended for anyone to actually answer in a whole truth type of why without considering it more fully.

Good question. I think it depends on the man. Some create their own realities and others are victims of things they can't control. No one should be kicked. But not everyone deserves to be lifted up.

I suppose it depends on the person. Most likely help them up -- but there are a few I'd be happy to pretend were soccer balls.

I'll either help lift him up or walk on by.

Does he want to get up, or does he want to stay down?

Give him a jetpack and an AK-47.

Depends on why he's down 🤔
I wouldn’t kick a person who was down, but whether or not I helped them up would depend on who they were. The rest of us might be safer with them out of action, even temporarily.
depends who it is.

Depends on what he deserves

@MartinTheFirst Who is anyone one of us to be the sole judge of that?
MartinTheFirst · 26-30, M
@dark548 im the judge of my own actions and how I respond to situations, maybe I should have phrased that "It depends on what I think he deserves"

@dark548 If someone is 'down' due to them harming others, and "lifting them up" would contribute to more harm, then I think it's fair to judge.

Depends on if they are good or evil. I'm def kicking the shit out of an evil person.

Lift him up.
