sprnitch: its the first person who asks and looks in like they're in need of it. if i'm out of spare change, i don't dig into my wallet. i'm not not trying to solve poverty in the city i live in. i just think that my spare change will go to better use in the hands of someone who needs it. many of these people are too mentally/physically sick to get jobs.

Yeah because I hear it's really easy to get a job when you don't have an address an shit. And everyone's always really happy to spare 10 minutes for a chat with you.
And "Into the Wild" was possibly the worst film ever made about a spoilt wanker. That kid needed a fucking good hiding. Twat.
- but he touched everyone he met mike. he was truly blessed.and free.skt
- haha, i think the book gave less of a "spoilt wanker" feeling.armsbottomer

I'm not attacking you personally, but society has conditioned us to believe that we are bad people if you do not give money.
If the Mayor had to deal with it day to day the issue would get sorted asap

I feel conflicted...
On one hand, I want to help the homeless, sometimes by giving some spare change or by buying them a sandwich. But on the other hand I wish they would go out and get a job, get off the drugs, and or seek medical help. It seems to be a never ending problem negatively effecting every city and sadly seems to be growing.

Offer to let the woman have a bath at your house, buy her some slutty clothes and pimp her out.
There's always a way to turn a bad situation around.

@sprnitch: it's cool, i didn't think you were, and totally understand what you're saying. i'm not giving money because i'm told it's "the right thing to do". some of my family members are doctors who have worked in poor areas and have seen first hand a lot of the shit homeless people are going through. knowing just a fraction of the stories they've told me makes me want to help out.

*picture of american flag waving in the wind. big white letters on the flag spell out the most murderous phrase since the dawn of mankind, encompassing the very principle of american national idea:
"It is your problem"
- once or twice US international intervention was helpful, but for the most part, it's poisonous.armsbottomer
- i take it your statement was directed more towards US international policies, than just helping out the homeless.armsbottomer
- im talking about all of us, children of this civilization, monsters of indifference which it createsdrgss

So anyways, what help is actually there for them?

some nice folk round these parts.

yes poverty is an uniquely American issue.
how many bums do you have on your payroll? drgss

Sad to see some people don't give shit either way and or have no compassion in their heart for their fellow man regardless of the circumstances or how they became homeless or remain homeless in the first place.
God Bless America!

the man who doesn't work is doomed to economic death -- "regardless of the circumstances or how they became homeless or remain homeless in the first place"
embrace the world you created, its all yours

it is easy to be altruistic when it is a topic of discussion but when you see it day after day after day, it get old

i live on the 2nd floor of a 4floor tenament
a couple of years ago we had a junkie make a home in the basement of the tenament.
he would buzz peoples buzzers and get in eventually, folk just assuming its a neighbour or a "wrong buzzer ring".
after a while the stairwell started to stink of his piss and general body odour and he had a wee camping stove to cook his smack on.one day while he was away me and neighbours went down (with rubber gloves on lol) and just grabbed all his worldly posessions and threw them in the bins outside. and one of the wifeys disinfected the whole area.
after that the guy didnt return.if you want to get rid without rounding up a posse to kick the shit outta them then you just need to make it obvious that they arent welcome or make it uncomfortable for them to live there i.e soak the doorway in water n bleach each night so they cant sleep there.
simple but effective
