blue collar != office. don't be so fucking stupid. i know it's hard, but try. if the guy was really that interested in supporting his family he'd get a hair cut and quit flipping burgers.

not really

you can get a job having dreads..one of the guys i go to school with has dreads and hes one of the most respected people in the department

true it does cut down your chances with judgmental pricks but im guessing a guy like that wouldn't be too happy in a place like that anyway

No fuckin' shit. Your parents must be proud of that high dollar education they sprung for. They raised the next fuckin' Stephen Hawkings :^S

A clue for you... Someone's hair style doesn't have anything to do with their intelligence, or what they do for money. Not that that fuckin' matters anyway. Anyone who uses employment as a measure of success is the biggest loser around ;^)

if he had the skills to get a job that would allow his dreads he wouldn't be begging on craigslist.

it does make them look like a drug dealing loser tho. i can't imagine why someone doesn't want that person working for them. also, it has nothing to do with measure of success, he's begging on craigslist for a place to live. if he really wanted to provide he would do everything he could not to look like a loser so he could get real job. i wouldn't expect a kid on atot to understand that though.

Wait... $500 and he's willing to live in a garage? I mean, I haven't rented in San Diego but surely you could get a studio flat that would be single-car garage comparable for $500 or a little more.

Hell... I live in Hong Kong and my studio flat is $500 a month and I live on the Island.

well now they are homeless artists. hope that's working out for them.

I'm not judging them, just making an observation. They look like many artsy hippies I've seen.

I'm surprised ATOT hasn't asked for better pics of the mom. ATOT, I am disappoint.

I hope the lot of you negative pricks winds up in a jam someday and become homeless. Need to be brought out back and beaten with a five iron, teach you not to be disrespectful of others based on appearance.

Hell if the family could scrounge enough to drive up here they could stay in my basement/spare bedroom for free. No family deserves to be homeless, especially when others can help.

To be fair, I certainly wouldn't rent to them either. Although it has nearly nothing to do with their looks or the guy's hair. I'm just a selfish prick.

Ok, I'll bite. Sure, they look funny and are probably hippies, but we don't know their circumstances. Why does this bother you so much? It isn't as if these folks (assuming the ad is real) are asking for a free ride.

Why assume he's unemployed if he can pay $500 a month? Unfortunately, I can't help.

For all you know this guy or his wife was an engineer or programmer or anyone of a million jobs. Teacher, musician, writer, Was he a banker? Unlikely. I dont get why you cast judgment upon him, his wife and his children based off a simple picture (where they look extremely happy and loving mind you)

You have no idea who they are and why they are in this circumstance.

In retrospect, I don't need a picture to judge you. I can tell what kind of person you apparently are.

you should read the whole post you're replying to so you don't continue to look as judgmental as the people you are calling judgmental. ;)

You're judging them off a picture and the fact they are in need of a home.
I wanted to judge you off a picture, as you did them, but you apparently dont have the guts to do so. So now I'm judging you off of your attitude and your position on their situation.

You're doing nothing but passing ignorant judgment on these people. I think that can tell me much more about you than their picture tells you about them.

You're judging off looks. I'm judging off actions.

So you're admitting you're trolling then?
We're really not doing the same thing you realize?

actually you're right. you were making assumptions and being a judgmental prick based on those assumptions. also, if you really think this is a real ad on craigslist you should quit the internet now.

it kind of looks like the guy from the spin doctors.

Are dreds really that rare in the states?

Most of the PHD engineers in my last place of work looked way shaggier than that dude with way nastier dreds/hair and they clear well into 6 figures... They wouldn't even wear a hat to cover it up! Doubt any of them had kids though...

You're missing the fact that you were judging off a picture. I was judging off your actions/comments. That's the whole point you're missing.

Again, you admit you're just trolling?
