I kick em in the balls, and then stand over them while I pour strait whiskey down my throat, and roll around in it, pointing at them and laughing hystericly. I be sure to show up with a steak and baked potato dinner, and eat it, right in front of them, and in their face between each bite I brag about how Im leaving there in a minute to go ride in my mans benz, and that Im going to get laid. And then take a dump on their begging sign, and rub it in their face. Your good!! *thumbs up* only the best my friend.. only the best. |

QUOTE People now have rights to live outside of the "norm". They never seek treatment unless it is court ordered or they just need a place to hang for awhile. It is all about rights. Many people may not agree with this but that is the way it is. QUOTE Oh I most definitely agree that people have the right to live any way they want. EVEN if it is far from the norm..AND to choose wheather they treatment of any kind or none at all. I disagree that they never seek treatment unless it is court ordered. I know from experience that just isn't true. Drop in centers work very well and most people don't go there by force of any kind. If available many people with mental illness will access drop in centers and are glad for the opportunity to get counseling, medication, or even social training to handle the special stresses they encounter, and or a safe place to hang. Sometimes they have cognitive problems remembering that it is there or how to get there but redirection is more likely motivated if they are not distracted with money to spend on things that do very little for the quality of their life. By going to the system they are often much happier in the supported living environments that are starting to come into existence than they ever have been in family homes or what is usually available as substandard houseing. Often it is very difficult for mentally ill people to tolerate room mates. |

All the drop in centers I have worked in as a nurse I have found they are there because they received some really bad-A** heroin out on the streets and they are super sick. They hang for awhile until they get better after days of vomiting their guts out and possibly a siezure or two. Frequently they are treated for scabies and or lice. They have no family and no visitors. They give fake names.When they start to feel better they leave quickly. This is just the way some people are. It is better just to accept it. Some people do much worse things than use drugs. |

One night I was coming home really late and it was freezing cold. There was a woman at a bus stop in a coat with a bag of Fritos. It bothered me. So I went on home and grabbed one of the quilts I had made, microwaved a huge thing of Cup O'Soup and took it all up to her. Haven't seen her since. I think her husband threw her out or something that night.

But, give money? If they look capable of doing at least day labor I might pass them by. Depends how benevolent I am at the moment.
