This is a question The nicest thing someone's ever done for me

In amongst all the tales of bitterness and poo, we occasionally get fluffy stories that bring a small tear to our internet-jaded eyes.

In celebration of this, what is the nicest thing someone's done for you? Whether you thoroughly deserved it or it came out of the blue, tell us of heartwarming, selfless acts by others.

Failing that, what nice things have you done for other people, whether they liked it or not?

Dear Mister The Goat
May you please explain to me how HG Wells was a propagandist?

(I'm not being faceti facaeti shitty, I'd be keen to find out where that info came from. I just thought he was a novelist...)

EDIT: Saved you some trouble there and did a bit of googling.

DOUBLE EDIT: Still can't see anything about destroying the family unit/altruistic values.

most of Well's writing was non fiction such as his 2 volume 'Outline of History'

and he was one of one of the front men for the Fabian Society - which was funded by the British Aristocraacy

Bertrand Russell was also a member of the Fabian Society and like Wells pretended to be on the working mans side

Russell was also a eugenicist as were alot of the members of the Futurist society and Fabians, and its obvious from Well's writing that he was too - as well as introducing something called 'predictive programming' of ideas in his works - so when things are introduced to society they seem familiar and are more easily assimilated

the mandate of these figures was to influence the public into adopting the values presented in their works

Orwell was one of the few figures who rejected this movement

Citation Please
It's a bit like saying "Karl Marx was sponsored by General Motors you know".

The senence: "Russell was also a eugenicist as were alot of the members of the Futurist society and Fabians, and its obvious from Well's writing that he was too Bertrand Russell and Wells et cetera PREPARED THE MINDS OF PEOPLE THROUGH BOOKS." does not in any way qualify your statement as fact, how exactly was Wells a eugenicist? Again, The Time Machine and War of the Worlds both describe genetically engineered beings with advanced societies as being morally degenerative.

As any fule kno.
