I was going to a coffee shop on my bike to get some weed today and drove by a homeless asking me if I had some money for him. I reacted quickly since I was riding my bike and told him I was only carrying papercash --> 10 euro's for the weed. I got my drugs and while I was riding back home the same way as I came I saw the homeless guy again. I stopped, he asked my again if I had some money. I said I already got drugs, so he asked me for some weed for a sticky. I was like: no, drugs is holy! Though I felt sorry for him, I didn't know why, so I offerd him 3/4 of my chocolate bar. He took it. I also gave him all the small cash I was carrying (22 cents). I've spend the rest of the day trying to figure out why I did this. Why did I take the time to give this stranger my chocolate bar and 22 cents, why?! |

Because you like to feel superior to people. In offering him such shit stuff you were able to feel as though you are his better. |

i dont usually do this, but this is a special case: you, sir... are a completely heartless individual. |

theres this hill in Seattle and theres a park on the top of it and its like pure bums its so crazy |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
hehe, why is that? I usually tell them to go find a job. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so while you're sparking up, just think about the luxury you have been given... and think about that man's life. and how lucky you are to not have to live liek that. this makes me sick. |
||||||||
|

|
|
you are good-nature person. thats all. congrats :) |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
go get a job?!?!?!?!?! its kinda hard without a bank account, social security, or at least a residence. go get a job? why don't you just reduce it to something like laziness? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
but being homeless is usually just lazyness and unmotivated behaviour. I've spoken to some of them and they all pretty much did it to themselves. This man was smoking the last few centimetres of his joint, I find that a high luxury for a homeless. |

<- jealous of the coffeeshop thing i always gotta visit the mafia for some weed ;) |

a homeless? a homeless? liek he doesnt even get the dignity of being refered to as a person? yeah, i imagine when your life sucks THAT BAD you do alot of drugs to kill the pain of living. |

evil evil pure evil :\ |

Yes, I find it quite cheeky for homeless people to ask for money whilst they're actually smoknig a joint in front of you. And there are jobs available that are "cash in hand" that you can just lie about your address for. I've done some in the past. |
||||||||
|

i would have given away the drugs and kept the chocolate bar :) |

he obviously didn't have the motivation to finish school, have a diploma and find a job. That's how I see it. |

i try to give people money you can usually tell who the good homeless people are, there's this war veteran in my town with these bad ass dreads down to his ass, i usually give him money. once i gave him a dollar on xmas eve i think. and then i got home and felt really bad cause i should've given him 5 bucks instead. what the fuck am i going to do with it, probably buy soda. |
||||||||

i disagree with this. in the u.s., we give people money for nothing. its called welfare, and it is crap. i've seen people liek busta rhymes on welfare. its bs. but a person liek this cant even get welfare. its a travesty. one mistake can ruin a man's life. then he ceases to be a man. he is refered to OH SO KINDLY as a "homeless"?????? this is sickening. |

homeless fellas are strange. One of em once asked my dad for money, he said it was for a cup of coffee and some cake. My dad offerd him to go with him and have a coffee together. He refused this. |

All homeless people should be rounded up and their healthy organs used for medical science. If they are too ill to be any use, then they should be put to sleep and their bodies disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. |

and roygbiv is right: what did YOU do with it? buy weed. you lush. you spoiled human. appreciate the fact that you have money you can give to someone. someday you may not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That is because most of them are filthy smack heads, and want their money for hard drugs. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no-one should be homeless in my country. There's this little tiny chance to get homeless here without being lazy. It's very unlikely. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so use your eyes!!!! did this guy LOOK to you like he was on smack??? this is repulsive. we live in a world that awards the rich with more money and takes any kind of future from the poor. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Indeed, that was my conclusion. Homeless are alcohol and drug addicts. They can get food @ a homeless place. They money's always for drugs or cheap beer. |

how does your mom like it that you go out to buy pot? ;) |

I think he didn't like coffee I hate coffee |

I didn't see him so the filthy bum may not have been using smack, but the chances are he was. Why should I, a member of the elite, have to put up with dirty smelly hobo's hasseling me every time I try to walk from my car to the pub? |
||||||||

she's ok with it. my parents are strange. they don't give a fuck about that sorta stuff, but that doesn't make them bad parents. not at all! |
||||||||

the elite? you piece of scum... you absolute monster. i hope you are very cozy and comfy in your nice cushy life, because there may come a day when it is YOU who are homeless. and people will piss in your face, too! you people SICKEN ME beyond all reasonable discussion. INHUMAN!!! you shallow, lacking human being!!!! you are NOTHING without your money AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA that he isnt!!!! AAAA!@kljcv |

I will never be homeless because I am not lazy. And as you yourself stating people are NOTHING without money. So in effect you have just described the homeless as a group of NOTHINGs, my way of thinking exactly. Also I am very comfy and cozy in my life thank you :) |
||||||||

i said YOU ARE NOTHING YOU not him, YOU you are an empty shell of a person, devoid of the ability to empathize with those who are less fortunate than YOU!!! you , who snidely look down your noses at them, as though they are less than dogs. YOU are a subhuman. HE is a man, who knows and experiences his humility and is humbled EVERY SINGLE DAY OF HIS LIFE!!!!!!!!!! you know NOTHING about them! NOTHING! |

hey... i'm interested in what you're getting at... do you give money to people when they ask for it? and if so / if not why? |
||||||||

How much of your time to you devote to helping the homeless? It is very easy to be a sanctimonious prick about these things, but at the end of the day, unless you spend your time actually helping these people you are no better than me. It is pointless replying saying that you spend your week delousing the scum, because if you really did you would have mentioned it before. Regardless of my view, or your view, we probably do exactly the same to help them. I bet you feel so proud of yourself. |

i think he's being sarcastic... or impersonating the US presidency! |

sorry, bird, but i am gonna have to come back to that. you people have NO idea what it is liek to be homeless. do you?!? have YOU ever been without a home? have you EVER been without food? have you EVER, for just ONE DAY known what it feels like to be SHIT in the eyes of all men?!?!? no. you dont. and, GOD WILLING, you never will. |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|

for fucks sake. he gave money and chocolate to a guy he didnt even know. i think he deserves a fucking award. how many homeless people have you helped tibbar? |
||||||||

if a homeless person asked me for money and i had some and i was in a not-so-shy mood, I'd (in my mind) go buy him food. in the UK u can always tell them about the big issue, they can make their own money from that. i do feel guilty tho, i never do anything... but then again, i dont talk to ANYONE when im in town. head-down and walk as fast as possible... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i can understand the shy -ness thing... Like giving money to a busker... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

I'm really poor, and I'm on benefits, yet I always give money to a homeless person when I can -- It's alright to be snide and judgemental towards them, but when you're safely tucked up at home, the heating on, watching a DVD, playing your console, these people are sleeping in shitty places, in doorways, suffering destitute lives - you don't know their situation, or what happened to make them homeless - try and help them without judging them you heartless fuckers. This is meant to be a society, not a mishmash of individuals trying to make it to the top of the hill just for the sake of being at the top of a hill. |

thank you marlowe, you are a voice of reason. :) |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, we are not ALL tories |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
marlowe how DARE you give my hard earned taxes to that scum. What is the point in me funding your out of work situation if you are only going to waste it on some drug fiend? |
||||||||

You know, there are people out there sitting on BILLIONS of pounds/dollars -- that's multiples of a thousand million pounds/dollars--without even denting their wallet, they could feed, house, clothe, employ, HELP the homeless -- and yet it's usually down to people who aren't rich to help them - says a lot about "society" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they probably dont believe the concept of "society".... you know, having made all that money themselves...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes it says that the more you earn the less you have to be bothered with the leeches on "society" Besides there is no such thing as "society", only individuals and their families. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
most of them probably didn't "earn" their millions & billions - and I'll bet a lot of them came from more priviliged backgrounds than the majority of homeless people. |
||||||||
|

Whenever a homeless person asks me for some money, and i have some on me... i always think: 'he probably needs it more than me', and i give him something. Such a small amount of money (50 cents, sometimes a euro) means almost nothing to me (and i am by no means a rich guy), but a whole lot to a homeless man/woman. I don't buy into the whole laziness-argument... most of these people have just been less fortunate than us. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
one time though, i didn't have alot of money on me, so i just gave him everything that was in my wallet (lots of small coins), and he gave back the 1cent and 2cent-coins... "i can't use those" lol ;-) That was kinda fucked up. You know some of them are ripping you off, but i really do believe most of them need every penny they can find. |
