HOW DO YOU KNOW IF HE WASNT A VETERAN AND COULDNT MAKE IT AND LOST ALL HOPE AND NOW HAVE TO BEG ?huh

when you get older, you will find so many people will play on your behalf............some of these folks are college grads that cant find a job in their field........so they become lazy and play people to make their living...........wise up kiddo...........grumble grumble

Thats actually a misconception. If you have any studies or proof of this please post a link. The same applies to mothers on welfare. There are a few which are held up as being the norm. They aren't.

okay, here is good for instance......if you travel the same road daily and see the same panhandler out there looking for a handout, checkout the hair....if it looks clean and is clean daily, they are playing you...........wake up guys........they are getting a shower somewhere.........we all are not gullible...........grumble grumble


One person is not everyone. Are you the same as every other man your age who does the same profession? Have you ever talked to this person and asked why? Tell us what they say.

If anyone knows me well enough, you know I hold no words and with complete honesty...Well,...my daughter appears to be the same...

We were walking back to our car to come home a few hours ago...A homeless guy approached begging for money...I ignored him and it obviously annoyed her. She said and very politely mind you... "I have my own money, and I work for it...Sorry!"

Keep in mind she is 7 years old...THats my girl flowerforyou


i agree with your daughter
i work hard for my money (nurse)
not afraid and very willing to give to those who cannot do for themselves, however most of those people prob make more money and drive nice cars.

Again....McDonalds will hire anyone

I for one would NEVER allow myself to get to that position, whether I have to have 3 jobs or not...It will get done

McDonalds will not hire people with mental disorders or addictions. The problem is funding for social programs was cut on a federal level and it is up to local governments to find the funds. They turn to charities and these in turn only help the ones who can quit their substance abuse. (Most of these programs are the 10 step ones so you either are a Christian or you're out the door.)

The point is there are people who fall in between the cracks. It's not as simple as saying they are lazy.


Maybe in California then...but the McD's here on the East coast will hire anything...Visit one to see for yourself

You speak of experience in this? You speak for them? I just know that NO MATTER WHAT the situation is..I would never allow myself to get to that position...

You are talking about a con artist - not the usual homeless person. Have you been to a homeless shelter lately?

That's true. Many mentally ill became homeless during the Regan years. His administration cut the funds to the mental institutions and turned the patients out into the streets.

It's even discussed in college textbooks.

I have studied this problem briefly as part of my degree in college. I am asking you to investigate for yourself.

I'm not a christian but you may be. What do you think Jesus would have done? Is walking past the poor what he would have done?

Its funny I guess.
Just a difference in US and being a daddy I guess.
But I taught mine to LOVE people and to ALWAYS be polite to EVERYONE, including ones LESS attractive to others.
Mine would have said DAD, is it ok if I give him my quarter.
WELL, that would have opened the door to some great explanations as to why NO, as I would have gave the man a dollar my self. And then told them that was enough for him to buy a soda with,wink.. But that was nice of you son to want to help him....bigsmile BUT, WE are not the same people..

Just because MOST beggers just do it for people's kindness..
THERE our many who do it as THATS the only thing THEY can do to get money to eat or drink..

I live in every state and in the public places ALOT, daily.
So I do talk to them and I always have a spare buck to throw away, or to HELP another person..:wink:
