The homeless what can I say about the homeless. One confused me for Serial Killer Charlies Ng (despite Ng’s incareration in San Quintin (I was a volunteer in Calgary). you know that old man on Terminator who asks Sargent Reese (Connor’s dad), if he saw a braight (bright), layte (light). This similar loking old man comes up to me, and asks “Are you Charlies Ng????”. (same voice). Ummm yeah. They let a violent serial killer serve FOOD to the homeless, without worrying about him poisoning the food. See? This is what alcholism does! it turns honest citizens into stupid old men, who resemble Klondike-California Gold miners.

-The same place, a homeless old hag decides to throw her buring HOT MASHED POTATOES AT ME. Stupid aborginal old Crow.

-Yet another homeless young goat boy looking Ontarian (you know those Eastern Rednecks, hockey hosers as I like to call them). He decides to try and choke me, but I butt tossed him and kicked him.

Can’t believe the nerve of these Homeless we try to help them and they get angry. Fine then die on the streets for all I care. Stop wasting precious resources for those who give a damn about life.

Now then the latest fiasco with the homeless. While coming home from another evening of breathing putrid scent of defeated humans. I was accosted by some aborginal, wanting to go back home to his reserve, and lacking the 1 dollar needed in bus fair (news flash Big Chief Nohomme Thunderbutt, Greyhound doesn’t care about the one dollar, they’d just sell you the ticket, just to move the line along for expediency). And like a few measly nickles and dimes would actually help them out that night. I don’t know he was gabbering on about something…. so I said “I’m broke”. And he said “So you can’t help us out”, again as if a few cents would actually help him out geeze. I told him I just volunteerred at a Homeless Shelter, that’s how I helped out. But I’m just glad that the Seed moved the main shelter out in the factory district, and away from the downtown (there are less and less panhandlers and undesirable people lurking the alleys). The Center downtown is specifically for those in a program like Step up (2 year transitional housing plan to help rehabilitate the homeless).

Dude are you serious? not everyone in the world is Christian, despite what you may believe… And selfishness is not characterized by a denial to acquiesce to another’s selfish demands. L2Perspective and while you’re at it teach the homeless some manners.

Some of you selfish people may very well someday find out what it is like to need something that is not in this present evil world with your name on it. Take a look at the U.S. drought monitor. Take a look at all the bizarre natural disasters that are flooding, burning, or blowing away the houses of rich and poor alike. So far many of these houses are replaced before too long of a time. Satan offered all the kingdoms of this world and the “glory of them” (not the shame of them did he show Him) to Jesus if He would worship him. Jesus refused. Satan’s world is not a happy place. Satan’s ways and means make a few people well housed, well fed, and well balanced and others not so much so. The Word of God says “Woe unto you who are rich” What God calls rich may not be what you or I call rich. God might call rich the man who comes out of a convience store without a couple of oranges for the angry homeless man. Again I challenge you to take a look at the U.S. drought monitor and if you are ever someday homeless, hungry, or thirsty for water tell your creator that He owes it to you. Tell Him how much you deserve it more that that other person. It is interesting to note that my comment is the only one so far that mentions God. And yet while I do not believe in Christmas because I believe it is Pagan. And while some Christians might would shun me because I take no part in the Christmas holiday season My sincere belief is that each and every one of the comments I have read were written by people who will be exchanging Christmas presents with friends and relatives in about four months. Supposedly they will be celebrating the birth of someone who died for their sins. Thank you.

I have to agree with Greg. Long before I even lived in the city of Chicago, I was taught to carry granola bars, McDonald’s coupons, and business cards to social service agencies while walking downtown/in heavy tourist areas. If the beggar won’t take any of them, just keep right on walking.

I haven’t had much problems with homeless people. Once when we were living in North Dakota, we let this one homeless guy stay in our garage for like two weeks with his dog (it was a beautiful black lab). It was the middle of winter and sleeping under a bridge when it’s like 20 below 0 probably wasn’t a good idea. The fact that he had a dog with him, probably contributed a bit to us helping them out. We also gave him food and some clothing. Eventually, we found someone he knew that could take care of his dog for him and we got him into this rehab place. The next time we saw him, he looked a lot better and actually had a job at Kmart. I am so much more likely to give someone food or clothes than money. The homeless people here in Pittsburgh are considerably more aggressive than they were in North Dakota and many of them have a lot worse problems psychologically as well. Needless to say, I try and avoid them as much as possible.

I had a problem with someone in Suburban Station one day about a year and a half ago. I went down in the afternoon to stop at Dunkin Donuts for a coffee when this guy asks me for change. I said no, got in line, got my coffee, and gave my leftovers to the tip jar. Guy sees this and confronts me about it, and I tell him I don’t have aything for him. I turn to walk away and he yells after me “What about my money? Give me my money!” That just got to me, and I raise my voice back, “Excuse me? Your money?” and I take a step forward. A couple people had stopped and were watching us, and the guy got nervous, gave me the finger and walked away.

Much more pleasant than the woman needing change for the bus. I’d often seen her around 4th and Market between 9 and midnight; she always wanted 4 quarters for a dollar so she could get the 57 and got very irate when I told her that the bus does indeed take whole dollar bills.

A lot of the homeless people around Philly are from the old mental hospital that closed down, so a variety of them are quite unstable, so interacting with them is one of the biggest mistakes you can make.

There’s the megaphone bum. He has a bunch of signs plastered to his hat and cart and he used to have a megaphone that he’d scream obscenities into at 2 am.

And the “Hey man, you got thirty five cents man?” guy on 15th and Chestnut.

And the homeless guy outside of Wendy’s on 15th and Chestnut who sits on his crate and opens the door for people every now and again and yells when they don’t give him change when they leave the place.

And then again, there’s the summer bum who has his “I’m too lazy to work” sign on 17th and Chestnut that’s infuriating.

There are SO many homeless people, and it’s hard not to feel like you’re going to get mugged.

I very much disagree with what Taleeya said. I think that you did the right thing by not giving the homeless guy your iPod and by going to buy your milk! It was your money and you can do what you want with it. Also, YES you should be very happy that the homeless guy didn’t see you leave the store after you said you didn’t have any money because you would definitely have a problem on your hands.

This one time when me and my friends were walking back from a party in downtown Vancouver, and this homeless guy came up and started asking us for some money, we all politely said we have no spare change and he left us alone, the funny thing is that when he was walking away we noticed that he had these brand new Nikes. We all realize that they are obviously stolen but its funny none the less, that this smelly old homeless guy had nicer shoes than us! Yeah my story doesnt really involve an angry homeless guy just a really funny one.

Why didn’t you just give him your iPod? And seriously, like you really NEEDED that milk.

Couldn’t you have just said something like “Hey, I just moved here, I just set up my apartment, have a brand new TV, why don’t you come crash at my place?”. And You could just sleep on your couch for a few months! ;)
