Off Topic / Re: Why do you feel bad for the homeless?
September 14, 2011, 02:25:31 AM
Ya, some places aren't bad for the homeless. I know a guy on another forum who's somewhere in Hawaii and he chooses to be homeless because:

Quote from: PhilosopherStonedIn my case it's the decision that because of my profound lack of social skills, I gain nothing from being employed and having a house (i.e. I'm a social outcast either way) and would rather have the time available to study things that interest me than waste time working to pay taxes to support US Imperialism.

There are tons of Homeless people in Hawai'i. If you can avoid getting pass-out-drunk for the first half of the day (surprisingly hard for many people), it's easy to get signed up for food stamps, go swimming in the ocean to get cleaned off and get in and out of towns so that you're not sleeping on the sidewalk. You can collect recycling in the civilized states to get some spending cash.

If you're not an addict, it can be a pretty good life. I certainly enjoy it much more than I've ever enjoyed working. It's really the first time in my life that I've actually been excited when I wake up in the morning. I lovingly ask myself "what sort of mischief are we going to get into today you stupid, hairy monkey?" The answer? Anything permitted by the laws of physics. I have zero obligations.
*He accesses the web using library computers.*

I'd probably choose to be homeless too (at least for a while) if I lived where he did. Given the city's reputation, I'd imagine San Francisco would be alright too. I wouldn't want to be homeless in my area though, that'd be hell.

@Gavin

Am neither insensitive nor "Wholly ignorant"

I feel for other people not a heartless hollow if I choose to saw one sentence that doesn't mean you actually
know enough about me to call me wholly ignorant.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone miss an entire point as well as you did. That's impressive dude. =/

a. It wasn't directed solely at you
b. lrn2context
c. Ignorant = unaware. You most certainly are unaware of the big picture, as evidenced by your posts.

As a 12 year old kid I had about 1.5 k only by my own work
A 12 YEAR OLD KID HAS 1.5 k
Unless you intend to elaborate and specify how you made the money and how you were given the opportunity to make said money, that little tidbit is meaningless.

For example, let's say you made that money by mowing lawns. That would require a lawnmower, something a homeless person wouldn't have. People are more likely to hire a 12 year old looking for a summer job or w/e rather than a ratty-looking homeless person. People are also more likely to trust an eager 12 year old than homeless person. Why? The kid has contact info (address, phone number, etc) if things go wrong, a means of transportation, and they can be held accountable if anything were to go awry. The homeless person? None of the above. For all you know, that homeless person is a desperate junkie (he probably isn't but that's what most people assume when it comes to the homeless). Who would take that risk? Most people would just go with the kid.


Quote from: koolwolf2 on September 09, 2011, 05:38:58 AMI just don't believe that a homeless person is homeless cause it was forced on him
I went to school with a girl named Shilo. I'm not entirely sure what was going on with her but I do know that she was special-needs. Physically, she was fine but it was evident she suffered from some sort of mental disability. She could function like most but you could tell she was a bit off (I'm not sure how I can word that without coming off as an ass). I didn't know her well but I know she had some family issues.

After high school, I didn't see her at all until about two weeks ago. I passed her by while walking home from school (I recently got into a polytechnic university, yay me) but I didn't realize it was Shilo until I was a few feet away. We didn't talk but I could tell from her dishevelled appearance, her ratty clothes, etc that was already on the street.

The chances of her getting off the streets are almost non-existent, the only real chance she has is if someone gives her a lucky break. That's it. It'll be almost impossible for her to make it on her own. Hell, she'll probably wind up in the down-town east-side of Vancouver (an absolute hell hole for the homeless and downtrodden) if she hasn't already and then that's it, game over.

She's not a special case, not by any means, there are thousands upon thousands of homeless people in a similar situation as her. That's just one of many, many examples; it's not as simple as you seem to think it is. It's not as easy trying to get a job and then going from there, there are usually a myriad of complications and obstacles along the way.

My father literally got out of prison and wasn't provided a place to live, had to live in a homeless shelter for a long time.
However, within a year he's made something of himself and has a nice home (apartment, naturally), has a great job that he loves (could even make manager if he wants to, but he doesn't), and did it all without any help.

I have no sympathy for the homeless retards if they've been homeless for years -- they're choosing not to fix up their life, their personal decisions aren't my fault.
Then he was pretty damn lucky. Just because he had it easy doesn't mean everyone can catch a break like him.

... So if you give them money and they buy drugs with it, thats good? k.
If they want drugs, they're going to get them regardless of whether or not you give them money. Would you rather they got the money for their fix some other way like robbing or soliciting sex? Personally, I'd spare them (and possibly others) the trouble and just give them a few bucks.

Quote from: hawk5005 on September 08, 2011, 06:07:19 AM
I don't know about whats happening there, but here there are a lot of jobs that can help you make some money, not too much but you can make some money.
They refuse to work because some people have mercy and give them money.
You obviously don't know how hard it is to get a job when you're homeless. Who's going to hire homeless person when they can easily higher someone else who's most likely more qualified. If a homeless man and I walk into the same place and apply, they're going to choose me over him. I have a means of transportation, they see me as being more dependable, I have a ****ing home, etc.

Quote from: hawk5005 on September 08, 2011, 06:07:19 AMThey earn a lot of money, and they don't really do anything useful with them.
Who the **** told you that homeless people make a lot of money?

Quote from: hawk5005 on September 08, 2011, 06:07:19 AMThey only buy beers and drugs, the same that made them become homeless.
Yeah, let's spit out stupid generalizations that are grounded in nothing but horsehit.

Quote from: hawk5005 on September 08, 2011, 06:07:19 AMWhen I go to school I see some people begging for money in the center of the city and when I return I see the same people buying alcohol.
That happens because they loose hope and they are too lazy to do anything else than begging for money.
Ya... but it's mostly because by that point these people have already become alcoholics and it's pretty damn hard to get over an addiction when you have no support to fall back on.

Quote from: hawk5005 on September 08, 2011, 06:07:19 AMYes, there are people who got there because of other reasons and they really need our help, but most of them are there because of drugs and alcohol.
So you're going to completely ignore the "other reasons" that led them to their addictions in the first place?

Quote from: mhj on September 08, 2011, 12:04:40 PMof the homeless in my country chose to be homeless
Really? Elaborate.

Quote from: mhj on September 08, 2011, 12:04:40 PMthey where all offered a place to stay and live. Maybe not good place to stay, but way better than staying on the streets.
Are you talking about homeless shelters? Many homeless people have legitimate reasons for not staying at these shelters. Some don't allow pets (which are sometimes the only companions a homeless person can have. ie. being lonely ****ing sucks), they might not get along with other people that might be staying at the shelter (which is often the case and can be dangerous), certain people like to hang around the shelters and exploit the homeless (dealers, pimps, etc), etc.

Psst, Allie... instead of being Admin, you should be Ridiculously Awesome like me since we get to choose our responsibilities.  8)

We had a media time before it the idea was scrapped because nothing was ever done. This is either the second (or third time) we've had a team and it's the same thing, I can see why Allie didn't want to waste any time with it. From what I've gathered, Opti should take full responsibility for this team and run it rather than expecting Allie to lend a hand, regardless of her position. Then again, I don't know the whole story.

Certain sets may use the term more than others but when it comes down to it, "cuz" is pretty much the equivalent of "man" or "dude," it's not strictly a gang term. Don't rely so much on Urban Dictionary. =/

I don't see why people like weed so much. It's really not that great...
You must have tried some really bunk bud or not gotten high if that's the impression it left on you. The first two times I smoked, all I got was a head rush so I didn't think it was worth the money. The third time got me retarded though, and with only like 3 or 4 hits too. Marijuana > alcohol, cigarettes, etc by far.
