I think I may have passed him on the way to work.
Chance as a real force is a myth. It has no basis in reality and no place in scientific inquiry.

If someone was hurt and it was clear that they were hurt and safe to approach them, I would at least call 9-11. I have passed by stranded motorists with a dead battery a few times as I am running late...but what I was half-jokingly referring to is the conversation I had earlier about passing by the homeless guys with their signs.
I won't simply give everyone money who has a sign, but again, if someone was hurt, I hope that I would stop or at least call for help for them.

In looking at the article on Wiki, The Bystander Effect I noticed that psychologists claim that one primary reason that people do not stop is known as Diffusion Of Responsibility.
Darley and Latan determined that the degree of responsibility a bystander feels is dependent on three things: Whether or not they feel the person is deserving of helpThe competence of the bystander The relationship between the bystander and the victim Forms of Assistance: There are two categories of assistance as defined by Latan and Darley: Direct intervention: directly assisting the victimDetour intervention. Detour intervention refers to reporting an emergency to the authorities (i.e. the police, fire department) The research shows that if lots of traffic is going by, an individual will simply wait for someone else to help the victim. And in the case of homeless guys with signs, all I really see is a hustle. Perhaps God will judge me harshly for that...I dunno.Chance as a real force is a myth.
