I was in a nearby town this morning and saw a homeless guy holding a sign that read 'willwork for food'. i put myself in his position for a min and i felt like shit. imagine not having a car, house or brand new skis . imagine doing someone's yardwork just so you could eat at night.. be thankfull for all the new shit you get for this upcoming ski season..and definatly be proud of it..

Yeah. It sucks. Everytime a bum asks for something I at least give my pocket change. But, you can't save the world so you can't stress on it too hard. Also, there are the bums that can work and do something for themselves, but they choose not to. Either way, I hate it for those people.

I can understand feeling sad, but dont take it to extreme. We live in America/Canada, I dont see any reason why anyone would live on the street with all the goverment programs that they have that could have you living in low-income housing, get you jobs, food banks and lots more. The only reason why I could see them living the life they do is if they are mentally sick.

the only time i feel bad is when they are disabled or a vet. other wise they're just lazy or on drugs. i still give em money tho, cos being hungry would suck.



I'd rather be rich than stupid.

I always feel sorry for them and I usually give them any change that I've got. The thing that bugs me sometimes though, is that 95% of the time my money is just going to be spent on drugs.

Ant, it goes beyond that. Homeless people aren't just lazy. Most of the time, they are just as you said, mentally ill. They are not functional members of society, and holding a job is not something they can do. Then there are others who may not be mentally ill, but their outlook on life is so low. They don't have much to live for, and may not see working a job as even being worth it. Their only release in life is drugs. I feel very sorry for those people. And there aren't too many government aid programs. Wellfare only lasts something like 6 months now.

sometimes bums chose to be there. they cant take the rpessures of owning a house, buying food and shit. most have mental illnesses and cant comprehend what the fuck they are doing on the street.

but other times they went bankrupt and those are the people u feel sorry for. they are the ones lying on the street or asking for money. the ones who are mentally challenged, the ones walking around. its scary shit to be a bum.

next time you see a guy with a sign like that, tell them you need your lawn mowed, firewood split for the winter, and your car washed. after he starts working, then give him some food. if he won't do it, tell him he's a fuckin' poseur and should get off of his lazy ass and get a job, or at least get on welfare. fuckin' bums.

Anyone ever got an honest one? Friend of mine was telling me how he once gave 10 bucks to a bum (drunk or something, i don't know why he gave the guy that much), who said he wanted to buy booze and needed more money. He sees the guy the next day on the street corner, and he's like 'So, you get hammered?' And the bum goes, 'Fuck no, man, I got laid!' (apparently he got some more money). My buddy's like 'Uhhh... what?' 'Yeah! I ROCKED that box!' He's like, well, at least he's honest about it.

Funniest story I'd heard in a while.

One time I was downtown and some bum was like, 'Who wants to help me get f**cked up tonight?'
He was honest.
And if your bored take a bum out to McDonalds. They're usually really interesting.

Well Ryan (BlindBlinds) the reason you dont do that is that they usually dont trust it. i mean, put yourself in their shoes. sosciety looks down on you. people laugh at you, spit on you, and feel far superior. and then some teenager give you a sandwich? hmm... doesnt really make sense.

Sconnyfc, you can't just make broad statements like 'homeless people are just lazy.' That's like saying 'burn victims are just pussies.' There's a little more to it than just that.

I think that there it is understandable for someone to be down and out, but living on the street for an extended period of time is not something that a sane person would so, what with all the homeless shelters and halfway houses that are offered in big cities today. I think that it is sad to see chronic homelesness, but the people who have decided to live out on the streets are basically the ones who have been sorted out by the cruel Darwinism of modern culture. They cannot handle the 9-to-5 life of our culture, and have therefore fallen through the cracks. If you don't understand, watch trainspotting.

I always get into arguments with people about this and I find the point of how people won't take you for a job if you have no adress or phone number or SIN card. You need these things to get a job at mcdonalds. Most homelss shelters in my town are full, there are waiting lists and I live in Canada, where we are pretty good about social programs. I think that instead of a few people giving change once in awhile to homeless people, why not everyone give a few dollars a year to a charity, if you don't trust your govenrmnet to spend your money wisely, then make sure it gets to the right people yourself.

I always hear people talking about how homeless people are usually just lazy and unmotivated, how they could easily get help if they truly wanted, and that may or may not be true. When I look at homeless people, I don't see some lazy bum looking for any way to get cash without having to work for it. I see a person who made a few mistakes (most likely pretty big mistakes, and quite a few of them). The bottom line is that they're still people, and they're living in horrible conditions, and there's very few people in the world who truly deserver that. No matter how much they sink into living on the streets, they're still the same people they used to be, with family somewhere that wonder if they're alright. Maybe I'm just more sympathetic towards people in that position because I have a family member who is a drug addict, and has been on the verge of living on the streets more times than I can remember. I've seen first hand what it does to the families of these people, and to the people themselves, so it's impossible for me to not feel sympathetic towards them.

^^^^supachronic99, i only meant that the bum would be considered lazy if they were holding a sign like the one described, you offered 'em food for doing work, and they didn't do the work. so in essence, they were just looking for a free hand out.

i was at a concert this summer and after it we got out of the club and this guy was asking for change so we started to talk to him. he was hoping trains trying to get to canada cuz he liked to travel. but any way he was complaning about all the crack heads cuz this guy was really nice he was polite to people and they all ignored him. the crack head just walk up to people and shove a cup infront of then and people drop them money.its crazy that people give money to the ones buying crugs and not to the ones that are trying to get some pizza.

I don't really feel too bad about homeless people because with most of them it's their fault. They did something wrong. If they've been homeless a long time then it's their fault.

They can get a job if they wanted to. Not having an address seems like it would be an easy problem to fix. Find a friend with a house that'll let you use his mailbox, ask someone at a church, ask a homeless shelter.

uh, when you talk about the homeless from other countries, a story i heard came to mind.

i personally know a christian missionary to kenya, africa. he says the reason there are so many homeless is because of 1 simple thing: drugs, mainly sniffin glue. well, unlike here, there doing drugs in the street wont get you arrested, so you see a large majority of the homeless just conked out of their minds, sniffing glue. he also said that even if you buy them a bannanna, they'll just sell them for-- glue. so, you peel it, so they cant trade it for glue, and then make them eat it there.

^just a story that came to mind.

but you know what? many homeless wont go to the shelters cause theyre to proud to admit they need help. so, in essence, they do much of this to themselves.

yeah, i cant in good conscience give money to homeless people, knowing a majority of them use it for alcohol, drugs, and whores. if they truely wanted to get a better life, they wouldnt waste their little money of the affromentioned items, and they would go to shelters and such.
