Do you care about strangers?

Just a random thought I had.
It's considered nice to care about other people especially family and friends but would you care about strangers if there was something bad happening to them?
Or is it none of your business?
It seems like you don't know them enough to care but it would be too heartless to not care?
What do you think?

When a celebrity dies, yes it's always nice to put a mark of respect but when I see some people crying I think it's totally overboard. Just a bit weird to have never met the person or know them personally.
This.
Also I'm a first aider so wouldn't want to walk past if I could help.
I think more people should get involved, if it was one of my kids in trouble nd no one stopped to help I would be really angry.
I've stepped in a couple of times on public transport. Once when a womans byf was slapping her about on the tube. And once to kick a little pissed up scroat off a bus so the driver could resume the journey [I'd just done a 15 hour shift and wanted to get home]
My mates redkon I will get stabbed one day *rolls eyes*
If you have new neighbors or something, I believe it is wrong to ignore them. You should introduce yourself and let them know that you'll be there for them if they need anything.
We have the power to do quite small things that can make a big difference to some people, but in order to do this we need first to care about these 'strangers'.
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no
And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend
And of course seeing people in some desperate state, injured or obviously ill.
I can't help but notice, and care - even though what I do with that 'care' is to just ask if someone's alright, or make sure that they're cared 'for' in some way.
At first I thought this was odd and then I felt really bad for thinking that an act of kindness was odd
I've thought about it a lot since and feel the need to relay that kindness onto somebody else. I've always thought that kindness is contageous and once one person starts it, it spreads. Just somebody smiling at you in the street seems to lift your day.
I went to a little town in Colorado once where everybody on the street would say "Have a nice day". It's strange at first but you soon get into the swing of things.
I know a lot of people think that this is fake kindness but I always remember a quote of Ben Elton's on the same subject.
I'd rather somebody wished me a nice day and not mean it, than somebody tell me to F*** Off and mean it.
This is a joke right
If some one is lost I try to help them,if some one is in danger,I'd try to help them.
But if it's that **** behind me ,hanging onto my exhaust pipe and flashing his lights at me, then no,I don't care about him.
I mean, are we saying that, for example, while you'd care about keeping a friend or acquaintance awake with loud music, you wouldn't care about doing the same thing to a stranger?
I don't have any particular interest in the lives of people I don't know but I do "care" about their wellbeing just as much as I care about the wellbeing of my closest friends.
You'd have to be pretty weird not to, IMO.
Course, that would explain the way a lot of people act when they're using the roads.
