Mike,
No, actually the conversation all relates to Neo's assertion that liberals think compassion is more important than honor. to which I decidedly agree.

<<Or simply, that compassion is a luxury afforded to an affluent society, while honor is earned right of the people who build>>

Really? Would you consider India or Pakistan to be affluent? What about the people that dedicate their lives to helping others in that country? Is that compassion a luxury
afforded to them by the high lifestyle attained in those poorest of third world countries?

Honor is not something bestowed upon those who build. Again, that is only the narrowest definition.
