Am I the only one here? I am sick of seeing human trash begging on every street corner, by every shopping center stoplight... Freaking everywhere...
Today I go to take back a couple videos, and I get harassed by some white trash dude beggiing for money. Now, if he was a legitimant bum then it's a little different, but this guy was more skater-fag than anything. He comes up askin for money "Hey bro, can I ask you something man...."... Of course, he's got a Monster energy drink sticking out of his pocket... Fucker can afford $3 energy drinks but can't afford gas or food of whatever he said he needed the $$$ for. The effort it took to bother people all day could have found this douche a job.
Then the sheriff came and told him to get the hell out and don't come back. ;D
I hate panhandlers. >:(
-
Move to better neighborhood, 0 whitetrash panhandlers in my area.
-
This was in probably the best city in the area.
-
they were gone in NY for a while, but now they are coming back, homeless people too...cue some pop stars to make a song about it..What I hate is that they often pick me out of a crowd for some reason and I also hate it cause it creates such bad Karma...everytime you walk by one without helping them you are fucked in the Karma department..and if they ask and you ignore them its even worse.

Homeless people are homeless because of their own actions, half the time they're insane, bat-shit crazy, the other half the time they have substance abuse issues. I don't feel bad for them, there are so many outreach programs offering help to restructure one's life, get a job, a place to live, etc. It's just easier for these losers to sleep on the sidewalks and beg for change.
-
Though they are people too, I treat them horribly.
Some says something like "Hey man, spare any change?" and my reply could be 'change is good. Maybe you need a change in careers, get another job perhaps?!'
Or often they'll hit me up as I walk into a place, and I ignore them. Then they hit me up again on my way out, and I say "I ignored you the first time for a reason. I didn't give you money then, and I'm not giving it to you now either" as I continue walking.
I hate people who beg, period. Every day they have the same choice as I do, as I roll out of bed. I can go to work or not and earn my pay. I make the choice most of do, or have to. They don't. So why should I let them take the money I earn when they take the easy way out?
I don't. As Ronaldo says, "Simple as that."

I just hate ppl who come into my personal space and ask for money. it's very rude. The moment you say 'no thanks', they need to back up. They keep coming closer and yeah, that's just not cool
-
the same people are always at the metro stop near work. they defend their "corners" against other bums.
pretty pathetic.

I used to believe that too, but even social workers will roll their eyes at that. People that are on the streets are damaged from childhood, there is no rehabilitating them..Yea you can clean them up and teach them to work a minimum wage job, but that is not going to give them a home or a life..The real problem is parents abusing children, psychic abuse in the form of neglect is the number one destroyer of people, more than the physical abuse which seems to get more attention and sympathy.

Why dont you just pull out your ak47 and mow them down, rambo? ;D Perhaps your sock held sawed off shotgun? Maybe a chinese star to the forehead?

I shoot my pennies at homeless people with a slingshot.
Giving feels good.

I was in AZ and some guy asks me if I have any change. This is the one time I actually say something instead of passing by, and said "sorry, I don't have any spare change." He replied, "I didn't ask if you had any SPARE change, I asked if you had change." I promptly gave him the pissed off "fuck off" and went about my business. That shit pissed me off.
Funny story in LA. I passed a bum going into Starbucks without responding to his request and came out about 45 minutes later and he asked again, but then corrected himself out loud and said "oops, I already got money from you before."

I agree with that sentiment completely, but unfortunately there is no saving those that don't want to be saved, like you said there is no rehabilitating them. So it's basically a lost cause.

There is a bum who sits at the top of Boston common with a sign that says (no joke)....need money for sex, drugs and smokes. He sits in a lawn chair and has one tooth. I give that fucker a dollar every time I see him. At least he's honest.

OMG!!! there's a guy like that by my highway offramp, he sits there with a sign that says 'Please spare change, I'm an alcoholic and I need to get drunk, hey at least I'm HONEST :)'
no joke... I crack up everytime I see him.

Nice! I used to live in Beacon Hill which is a very nice area of Boston. Anyway there was a bum who lived in the dumpster behind my building and he looked like a pirate. Picture Jack Sparrow on crack and viola. I have no idea how this dude got away with living in a dumpster in Beacon Hillm but he did. He used to listen to head phones and slam Vodka in his dumpster, no joke.
One day I have to go see if he is living there still. I used to take out the trash and give him food. He was a cool dude.

theres a guy in vegas that sits on the main drag just as you get out of the airport to get into town. his sign says something like...."why lie...i need a beer"
props for original "bums"
I wonder if the ones who hold up the signs that say "will work for food" would really do it? I say feed a guy 3 hots a day and hand him a shovel....tell him to dig you a pool in the backyard....

Tons of beggars down here in South Florida, almost every street corner and outside every grocery and convenient store. I only give to the ones with missing limbs. I feel bad for all of them, but the ones with all limbs are able to do something. This one time I was sitting at a light on an off ramp. I had the targa top off my car and a homeless man with half of one arm missing and one hole leg was gone, ;walked up and was talking to me through the top of the car. I felt terrible, I lost my job in October and I'm struggling, but I gave him what I had in my wallet 7 dollars :-\. I thought the gov. would have some sort of program for him. Not all of these people are bad, alot just stumbled into hard times and let it get the best of them or they have a mental/drug/drinking problem in which they lost control of their lives and hit rock bottom. I am not mean to them, their live are hard enough. They once were innocent little kids playing in the park like the rest of us, they just made some bad choices. No reason to be unkind to you unless they harass you or dont leave you alone or they dont take no for an answer.

I'm sure the coach will make a stupid thread after he hears what rush "the crook" limbaugh has to say about it.

this will teach those mfs to bother me
geez why is that even on sale, what a stupid country we live in, those should be banned, also there cousin the rifle which can be turned into a sniper rifle like we saw we the traumatic DC sniper shootings, guns need to be left to the professionals.

Here in Vegas it's getting pretty bad :-X :-X
I feel sorry for them. I'm not going to judge, I don't know the situation. Most of the time I do give money especially the women.
-
Don't feel bad for the homeless...But the hope is that you have sympathy...We never know anyones backround...Judge if you will but you may be tested on it someday...

Hereford if you hate panhandlers never come to Portland! It is so out of control. You should be allowed to shoot peopel who say "got any change?"

It is going to get worst as people start losing more jobs... That pandhandler may be you soon to come, so I wouldn't make much of a fuss about it.
-
:'( sniff sniff,me no like guns
Yeah I would like to see the looks on the faces of people like him when the government tries to pull some crazy shit like slaughtering a bunch of us...oh wait that won't happen cuz we have guns!
-
Guns are protection devices in a nation so out of control as america,a nation where do-gooders reign supreme and honest decent people become victims of 'minority' robbery,violence and intimidation

Do you live in Sacramento?

I lived in Salem for awhile. Spent lots of tims in PDX. They really ruin the experience, you can't just walk around downtown and enjoy one of the prettiest cities around.
Lots of them are just neo-hippie kids tho, just like in Eugene.
Do you live in Sacramento?
No, I live north of Sac.

QFT. Really bothers me when I see these young able bodied kids begging. I amagine it hurts our tourism. If I visited and experienced this I wouldn't come back.

It wouldnt be that bad if it wasn't ALL THE TIME. You walk three blocks and you can get hit up 15 times.
-
I'm sick of the shit too. If I see someone come up to me the moment they say, "Hey, man..." immediately I say, "Nope." I don't even let them finish what they wanna say. Although, one time it wasn't a panhandler but someone who just wanted directions. :D

I'd be more inclined to give that guy money. At least he's keeping it real. LOL!

Yeah but even that is getting annoying because so many people are doing that now. I admit the first guy to do that was creative but now it has gotten old too.
