Here, have a cookie.

[jtvang125]

Panhandler takes the cookie in disgust but leaves it on someone's car when he walks away. Just another reason not to give them money or food.

 

[gorcorps]

Friend I was with gave one the rest of his chinese food. The bum didn't take it so kindly... actually looked offended that somebody would dare give him food instead of money.

 

[Platypus]

Wide sweeping judgement always pays off :roll:

I've purchased meals for the vagrants around Chicago plenty of times. Sure there are those who obviously want booze but some people are genuinely hungry. Also keep in mind a large majority of them are mentally handicapped/disturbed...

 

[purbeast0]

this is like ufo sightings - i always hear other people talk about seeing it but i have never seen it myself.

 

[NikolaeVarius]

Thats because they live on Change!! They can't survive on normal human food.

 

[andylawcc]

I actually gave one homeless lady a bottle of half-drunk orange juice in LA, she was disappointed but not pissed off.

I'd have to disagree with you here. I think the generalization is more correct than wrong here.

There are so many freakin' homeless wastes at Harvard Sq. in Cambridge. If you look at them, you can tell they're just lazy fucks with perfectly good health and working limbs.

One time my friend and I walked out of Bertucci's. My struggling college student friend had her leftover to go so she can save $$ for lunch next day. The bum came begging. She kindly gave her lunch up.

That smelly ass homeless bitch opened the bag like it's holding a winning lottery ticket inside, opened the box, touched the food and said, "WTF is this?", then refused.

She had to throw her lunch away. I was fvcking furious.

99% of homeless fucks are useless and homeless. Their complacency and begging became their life style. If there were truly a diligent person who had some shitty ass luck financially, you would NOT find that person begging on the streets.

Guy ask for change? Will you??? West VA won't

 

[BZeto]

I always give food (apples, leftover lunch, etc) to the homeless around here and each one of them have been very grateful.

Comparing the homeless in a metropolis like Chicago to fucking Cambridge is a bit cavalier don't you think?

Come here and see how many of the bums are in perfectly good health.

Thanks for the synopsis John Madden. Your last statement pretty much proves my point, no one in their right mind would willingly choose to live like the bums I see in Chicago unless they absolutely had to.

 

[imported_Imp]

I see that a lot now. People walk by bums and open their bag of groceries to give them something cooked/small. It's better than feeding them change for their crack dispenser.

Yea? You mean to tell me if I got off the freaking Chicago airport, I would see a totally different breed of homeless people? I highly highly doubt this.

I phrased my words carefully citing 'more correct than wrong'. The majority of homeless fucks ARE lazy with perfectly good health. This is observed through my stay at Boston, NYC, Montreal and even Seoul, Korea.

I highly doubt Chicago is a magical place where the majority of homeless are as you had described it.

there ya go. you'd probably be surprised to know that only 15% of homeless people are considered chronic homeless. meaning, they really have no where to go, and will remain living on the streets for extended periods of time. The vast majority of homeless live on the street for a week at most before they're back on their feet. Some go in and out, but many hit a streak of bad luck, bad decisions, then turn it around. All types of people can find themselves homeless, especially in the US.

Spent some time looking into this several years ago in a social anthropology class that I was taking at the time.

how do you define observe? You glanced at them, but know nothing of their lives or their situation?

you're an idiot.

I don't think you know as much about homeless people as you think you do.

 

[Vonkhan]

you wanna see homeless asshats ... come to NYC

My fav. is the middle-aged lady in matching outfit with a cig in hand asking for change around 42nd St. / Bryant Park "Ya got change ... gimme some change ... I'm hungry" in worst cig-throat voice you've heard. She knows not to stick her hand out in front of me now

you're an idiot.

How do I define observe? With my own eyes, year after year, seeing the same person. Not stuck a classroom and READING about them.

I wish I took one anthropology class so I become a know-it-all and call others idiots with my enlightenment. But then, why am I not surprised this is ATOT. The fools I see in Cambridge have been there for ages. It's to a point my GF recognize their face and their territories.

I have sympathy for those who are hard hit financially and try their best to come out of it- working double/triple shifts, cleaning library toilets and doing cheapass flea market yard sales.

Those were my parents who brought me to where I am today. They didn't fucking beg with their perfectly working health. If anything, they WORKED themselves to sickness.

Will Smith's character didn't beg in Pursuit of Happiness, because he was determined to WORK, even though he was literally stranded on the streets.

I'm just a know-it-all based on one Hollywood movie I saw- oops, sorry I was just mimicing your idiocy.

Even here in ATOT, there's a number of people who experienced that exact situation.

 

[Deeko]

Anyone siding with the bums in these situations has clearly never lived in a big city. After six years in Philly, the vast majority of panhandlers either A) does this as their job, is not homeless, and wore nicer clothes than me or B) is just looking for alcohol/drugs/cigarettes. Hey, once it's "their" money they can do with it what they please, but they're still flat out lying to you when they say they're a vietnam veteran looking for a warm meal.

Yet you guys continue to miss my point. Did I say homeless aren't trasitory? Those who are- NOT likely the ones you see begging month after month and smelling like shit.

 

[GTaudiophile]

Just a few weeks ago my GF tried to give a perfectly good hamburger to a homeless guy in Chinatown (DC).

His reply: "Thanks buddy, but I don't take food from nobody out of principle. God bless you!"

The GF and I walked away in disgust.

And just last week, a homeless woman was hanging out near a bus stop and asked my GF for $1.35 bus fare. My GF relented. Fast forward about 15 minutes, we're walking down the street, and the same woman had moved to a different bus stop pulling the same trick.

My oh my, what the welfare state has created! Brace yourself for more of it!

You are right. I fly a lot and the homeless outside of Midway are the same way

faceplam.

You realize psomeople still have pride? My Parents used to be homeless once, while living in Korea. They refused to take food from well meaning people as they didn't want to become dependent on other people to survive. Same goes in the presence, some people feel like they have to earn their pay, instead of receiving wellfare.
