Default Re: Bleeding Heart

In the US, this is sort of derrogatory. A bleeding heart is someone who feels sorry for people who may not deserve sympathy. Someone who thinks that criminals, drug addicts, alcoholics, and those like them should be pitied and helped by the government is called a "bleeding heart liberal."
