i was walking along in a hurry and the big issue guy came
upto me and i didn't know how much money i had so i said no,
then he said "aww please" and i was shocked so i said "no, i
have no money". then i felt rreally bad, oddly bad, i mean i
had change when i checked, so i went back to look forr him
to buy one but he was gone.

so tomorrrrow i will have to look forr him and get one.

end.

That feeling my freind is guilt.

I always stop, listen for 5 mins to a guy down town who
plays a digeridoo.Hes such a cool guy to talk to.He's
homeless so I always buy him some food or cigs.

Thats the thing though,people feel forced to buy it because
of the guilt factor.

Damn these humanoid emotions.

it's always fun to pretend you're interested so that he
thinks he'll get money from you, and after listening to him
let's say 10 mins, you just go: "no thanks, not
interested..." :)

It is pretty good. Their politics is too leftist for my
tastes (although the fact that it encourages capitalism via
self improvement through selling has a great ironic
humour...), but it's a good read. Some of the people who
sell it are really interesting.

Sounds like a good idea. Do they have this program in the
states?

I'd refuse to give them any money,.. they should get off
their arse and get a real job, it's not that hard,

I'd probably be more likely to give money to an organization
like this, than to some random bum on the street begging.
