You'd think that a guy smart enough to rig all that shit up would be able to get his act together enough to have a solid job...

It says his dad picked him up too...sounds like he has a family...maybe he just likes being homeless.

Wow. I kinda feel bad for the guy. Its like, leave him the fuck alone. He's not bothering anyone living there. Mayor Daly comes across as a huge dick in that video Blonde linked.

Well since i've never been in a homeless person's shoes, its easy for me to say this, but I personally think that if you have your priorities straight, you should easily be able to get out of homelessness simply by working your way up through jobs..sure you might have to start at some shit job...but then again, you're already living on the street as it is.

Ugly Bastard · 12-16-2004, 02:27 PM

Its probably a lot harder to climb from the grip of homelessness and poverty than you think, Blonde. I mean, you can't just walk into a McDonalds and apply for a job w/o a valid address or form of ID, something most homeless people do not have, nor do they have the education or ability to get such a thing.

Sure, 80% of homeless people could do something about it if they got off their sorry ass and applied themselves. But I'd say there's a good 20% out there who really are down on their luck with no clear way out.

I can agree with that.

I have been "homeless" before for a few months, and it really isn't easy, when you go apply for jobs, you don't have a phone number to write down, or a fucking adress, there are ways around that I am sure, but also most homeless people are drunks and drug addicts, so they concentrate all their time on being fucked up.

Mr. Blonde · 12-16-2004, 02:32 PM

When I was referring to shit jobs, i'm talking about SHIT JOBS. I do not consider Mcdonalds a shit job. Would I work there if I didn't have to? Hell no. But, what i meant was the kind of shit jobs that other people won't do, and that employers are willing to pay you under the table for...like dock work or shit like that.

George Sherman · 12-16-2004, 05:13 PM

yes that is deffinitely a good point, but these homeless sons of bitchs are just lazy, they really are.
