Are you friggin kidding me?
Hoboism is a choice. Street people live on the street by choice! Anyone that has any inkling otherwise never lived in a city like Chicago or New York, or even Seattle for that matter. Disadvantaged people? They choose that lifestyle!!!! They chose to drink their way to it or intravaneous drug users choose that plight. Yes there are a select few that end up on the street for many different and heart-wrenching reasons but it is their choice to stay there. When I walk out of a Blackhawks game and it has snowed 6 inches and my car is covered with snow. there are at least 5 hobos waiting for the opportunity to clean my car full of snow. All this for a dollar. But I generally will require the 5 aforementioned losers to sing and the best Smokey Robinson I hear gets the chance to earn a dollar. Mind you this is true not made up. Or I may have them do a soft shoe, or a tap dance. Had one guy rap for a buck. The point is this, am I the one humiliating them or just giving them the opportunity to do it for themselves. They have a chance to EARN a dollar, just like I have to earn my wages. So tell me why will the dance or sing for a buck but not get up early and stand on the street corner waiting to be picked up to go work for someone for an honest days wages. Give me a break, I do not help anyone more than once that won't help themselves. Those bums know exactly what they are doing and made a cognizant decision to do it, get over it. Lethargy in our streets has created an entire subculture in our society that continues to drag down the hard working wage earner that made this country what it is today. All of them, to include; street bums, panhandlers, women that get pregnant just to get child support and not work and collect welfare, and many more that are the scourge of our society can kiss my lilly white ass. Stand up, wash your ass, get a job, the car wash is always hiring and have some respect for yourself. If this sounds harsh tough sh*t, my father is a bum as far as I have heard, never really knew him that well, as well as the old biological. I have been without work before, but not for long. There are a lot of people that straighten shelves and wash dishes for a living and don't drain our economy. This all goes back to that post before about picking and choosing what we as a society are willing to accept. We don't want to let gays adopt healthy children from an orphanage, but it is alright to have Mom and Dad drag you from one mission to the next one handout after the other. Yea you are right these poor disadvantaged people. The funny thing is nobody ever asked me if I wanted to be eating handouts from the good people of society such as yourselves, or if I wanted to be bounced from foster home to foster home. But I do remember getting lots of pats on the head and dimes and nickels as the righteous people of the world looked at me with disgust, as my childhood went the way of the bottle and the needle. Obviously, I may be a quick trigger on the issue, but I will say this with all honesty and as much compassion as I can muster for the subject and that is this. I honestly hope it was someone I know that got the twenty bucks, because maybe he/she will eat well tonight and just maybe realize what a useless waste they have made of more than just their lives.
