Is there any good reason for having a link to Oxide?.- Memo 00:21, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not really. Why? CQ 16:12, 29 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It looks spamish. Memo 15:24, 1 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Opening too long

The opening part of this is too long. It shouldn't be more than about 10 sentences giving a clear, concise overview. Some of the stuff in the first part needs to be moved down to the lower sections. Robert 17:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)

False or bad bible quotes

1 Corinthians 13:2 and Philippians 1:9 talk about charity, but do not mean good deeds or donations. They mean grace of charity (one could also translate love). Philippians 1:9 (KJV) And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; And although KJV says in 1 Corinthians 13:2 charity in the greek original text it says agapēn or ἀγάπην witch stands for the love God has for his people. Therefore both quotes do not fit this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.50.65.20 (talk) 22:52, 11 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Implicit Generosity

I'd like to see the article distinguish between implicit generosity and explicit generosity. Explicit generosity through open giving is generally what we think of when we think of generosity, but there's another kind. Suppose there's a large pool of generally desirable items (like pieces of cake at a workplace) and a group of people are allowed to take as much or as little as they'd like until the items run out. Those that take little so that others are allowed to take more would be implicitly generous. There probably would be lots of application for studying implicit generosity with regard to the design of government, and whether or not to make it more capitalistic, communistic, etc.

Kindness And Responsible behavior

Kindness is defined as the quality of being friendly, generous, and considerate. Kindness, or doing good, often means putting other people's needs before our own. It could be by giving up our seat on a bus to someone who might need it more.It shows that helping others can also benefit our own wellbeing. Responsibilities are things that we have to do. With no responsibilities, we could do or not do whatever we wanted. People who are responsible don't make excuses for their actions or blame others when things go wrong is one of the examples of describing a responsible person. They think things through and use good judgment before they take action. People who are responsible to take charge of their lives.

iOS lookup of liberality shows Iranian supreme leader

Looking up the word “liberality” on iOS devices shows the wiki summary of generosity along with a picture of the supreme leader of iran. I don’t know how much they paid Wikipedia to make this happen but that is a complete DISGRACE. The only thing the supreme leader has been generous in has been spreading death and destruction among the Iranian people.
