Title: When life is just daily misery.
Post by: pellius on November 09, 2018, 10:45:07 PM
Alone, old, freezing, wet, hungry, sick, legs rotting off before your eyes due to diabetes, missing and rotting teeth, no realistic hope for the future.

Is there a point when it's just not worth it anymore? When every day is just pure abject misery. I sure would like to know this person's story.

Yes, right across the Windward Mall and the bus stop at the Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center. Right behind her is a Starbucks where all the yuppies are on the Apple laptops and sipping $10 Lattes.

A lot of homeless in the area because across the street there's a post office with a huge parking lot for their trucks and they all sleep there.

There use to be. They were called Sanitoriums (insane asylums). The vast majority are mentally ill and addicts so they were taken off the streets and housed there. It was no paradise but they got shelter, food and medical care.

The ACLU got rid of the Sanitoriums so now they are just on the streets.

Well without wellfare system it's survival of the fittest. Only the strong or able to adapt and make it on their own survive. Maybe it's for the better.

A society where freaks and unfit people are able to procreate is not evolving.

Do you do that?

That area is overrun by homeless people. Giving them food and water isn't going to help. There are several church groups that do that. Just last week some girls from my church took it upon themselves and passed out McDonald's cheese burgers to the homeless.

There are homeless shelters in all metro areas but many homeless won't go there as you aren't allowed to bring in drugs and alcohol.  The mentally ill sometimes refuse help and that's the dilemma, do you force a person into a treatment center against their will?  In the case of the woman in the picture I would say yes.

The same amount of time you spent on this thread, you could organise a gofundme for this lady and change her life.That picture will move alot of people.

Yes, I once tried that for a homeless person in San Francisco (I think it was). I tried to arrange a photographer to take some pictures of the person and tell their story in an editorial. Unfortunately it was never came to be, but it was very close to getting that person some help to better their daily life, at least for a while with the influx of funds.

This lady needs extreme help. Not some fuckface as wes alluded to. This person is in serious dire straits. They would be suffering daily and it's no way to live.

Like I mentioned in the first paragraph, you could arrange for a newspaper to tell her story or a local photographer to do a pro-bono (or for a small fee) a photo-editorial on her, with the chance it may go viral. Set up a GoFundMe and have that mentioned in the editorial or wherever the photographer/newspaper tells their story. You could even make it something for the many homeless people in your area, by having a story told every week or month, and a GoFundMe to send whatever funds people can.

In this digital world of social media, something can spread like wildfire. People will care when they see the story. She needs hospital care and to get as much medical help as there can be.

^all of these

I don't know what the answer is. I've worked outreach programs that were set up to help the disenfranchised. Some people have had it so bad they just quit on life.

They've given up all hope and it's hard to change that mindset. As horrible as their life is its comforting to them because its what they know.

That's how the ACLU got the sanitoriums closed. They argued that you can't keep a person in a facility against their will. Even if they are mentally ill and are disrupting the peace.

Lots of questions come to mind. Like what happened? Is she an addict? Where is her family/friends to help?
And why do we turn our backs on people like this yet shower single whore mothers with welfare, food stamps, free health care, child support, free housing, grants, etc.

I tell you what. I'm kind of an idiot and not very resourceful. I want you to walk me through this. Step by step.

Being that there is a news story on the homeless every day, along with a featured article at least once a month, tell me, very specifically, how to set up a photo/article and find someone that will do it for free? Who do I call? I want a name and number?

How do you set up a gofundaccount? In fact, since it's online why don't you do it?

Oh wait, you've already tried all this... but it never came to be. Why? Why don't you contact Stallone and have him cash out his new million dollar watch and help this lady?

You don't live in Hawaii so you are unaware of how big an issue the homeless situation is. It's affecting the economy because it's affecting tourism so that's why the government has jumped in. It's affecting their pockets. There are organizations and individuals that make it their life's mission to help the homeless.

Look at this lady. Look at her. She was just a few feet from me. Do you think her problem is that nobody is giving her food and water? Having enough to eat is not a problem with the homeless. They all have EBT cards. I can't tell you how many times a homeless person asks me to buy him/her some booze and let me use their EBT for $20 worth of food for $10 worth of booze.

There are only about five simple and easy rules to follow to make it in America. If you are permanently homeless there is something wrong with you. Charity, just giving these people stuff, is not going to fix anything. Yeah, I can give her a cheeseburger and a coke and that will make me feel good about myself. Like I've done something meaningful. But then what? What about tomorrow?

Almost one in the morning, and you're taking pictures of desperate old ladies to post a bodybuilding board. Not to help, etc.... but to make you feel better and give yourself something to talk about like some 60 year old Facebook hausfrau.

Did you maybe toss her a buck or two after you photographed her? Maybe offer to hook up with something off the dollar menu? Naw, you just made a shit post about her.

Good for you nana.

What a pure dick. So, so clueless.

Toss her a buck? Is that what you do? Other than making you feel better about yourself what have you accomplished? And I guaran-damn-tee you that I do far, far more for charity and helping other people out than you ever have.

And another faceless troll ragging on my appearance. Why don't you post a pic? I'm sure I am in much better shape then you have ever been.

Bullshit nana.

You got caught out here at 1 in the morning creepshooting old homeless women, so now you'll play it off like you actually do charitable things because people are politely calling you out on it.

And as for giving her a buck or two? Sure, if I'm looking at someone and see they're old and falling apart to the point I'm going "Shit, they're really fucked up" I give if I can spare it. I don't scurry around like a lout snapping pics.

Most of these people are alcoholics and/or drug addicts.  Fuck 'em.  Bring back the loonie bins and take care of them within those walls instead of allowing them to bother normal people that didn't take drugs or booze to new levels of low.

I agree though I would put it more gently -- lol. These morons with this "toss the a buck/start a gofundme page" just don't get it.

Homelessness is destroying Hawaii and tourism. We use to be able to help them but because it was against their will now they are left in the streets. Some people are just not competent mentally to make rational decisions.

Canada's system isn't perfect.  I think the USA's model hurts the working poor the most, but anyone middle class or above in North America would likely be better off under the USA's private insurance model.

I would get better healthcare if I lived in the USA, given my income bracket in Canada.  So while Canada's system may be better overall [which is debatable - although it definitely is a cheaper system to implement], it is not necessarily better for every single individual Canadian.  There is no perfect system.

There is not a single person suffering where you live that you can help?

I've talked to this lady. She is batshit crazy! Giving her money and food isn't going to help. She eats too much as it is. Loves McDonald's ice cream.

Instead of building these homeless encampments and porta-potties they need to bring back the Sanitoriums where they can get food, shelter, bathroom facilities and medical care. And they need to be forcibly put in there if they are mentally incompetent.

You are a good and decent person with good intentions but good intentions are not enough. What you suggest will not work and has not worked. You are a living example of this. People need to be more concerned about doing something that makes a real difference and not doing things that just make you feel good about yourself. There's a reason we have more homeless now than ever before. And it's not because the cost of living has increased. Quality of life has increased exponentially since the 1970-80s and before. It's only when we changed our policy on how we handle street people. Remember how Rudy Guiliani cleaned up New York and dropped the crime rate drastically just by getting people off the street. Enforcing loitering laws. Cracking down on petty crime.

Gofundme, asking one group of people to give money to another group of people who have already proven that they cannot be responsible, is not going to work. Sorry to be so gruff and I didn't want to offend you because you have a good heart but that just isn't going to cut it. It's been tried and failed. You tried it and you failed.

You can't keep doing things that fail. It's like Socialism. No matter how many times it's tried it always fails. It's success rate is zero. People still believe in it because it sounds good and makes them think they are good people. Capitalism is about greed and competition, winners and losers, but Capitalism has lifted more lives out of poverty than anything in existence.

Exactly why you are wrong! That type of thinking, "Well, at least you did something."

It's not about feeling good about yourself. You don't have a scintilla of a clue
what I do to help other people. That I've worked for charitable organizations and still do. Using my free time at my expense to help those less fortunate. I have a far, far better understand of this subject than you do.

I love how people are so quick to tell me what I should do when they don't do shit in their own lives. Someone mocked me for being out there late a night in the pouring rain talking a picture of this lady. Like I'm some kind of creep out in the dead of night photographing people suffering. Well, maybe you should think twice and ask yourself again why I am out late at night with homeless people when I could be home in a nice warm bed reading a good book.

Always well thought out, Matt. But ask yourself this: how many people go to Canada for specialized medical treatment versus how many people from Canada come to the US. And why is it that Canada's prescription drugs are cheaper when a lot of it comes from the US. That we pay more in the US for the drugs we make than the drugs we import to Canada.

Another big problem people seem to be unaware of is that there are people willing to take in homeless and drug addicted family members, they quickly get stolen from. Happened to two people I know. People are homeless for a reason, they can’t function under conventional norms of society.

No. Better to do nothing and hope they hit rock bottom sooner or later because that is when people most likely decide to make a change. Giving them money is enabling.

You'd rather just close your eyes to other people misfortune and act like it doesn't exist because it disturbs your tender sensibilities and disrupts your anabolic window.

No, seeing as you needed to become an "Elf" and a simple hardware store job to help you feel manly,  it's probably a lost cause to explain to you how classless it is to roam the streets at 1 in the morning creepshooting the poor to post on body building forums. I'll just chalk it up to you being raised poorly.

Now you'll defect about how this lady is crazy, etc...., etc.... just like when you get caught pedo-ing out. It's ok Nana.

The funniest thing to me is that from what I've seen of you on the forums, you're just a notch or two above this old lady. A bored old man, who didn't have much of a career, nor friends, etc.... posting multiple paragraphs to a website.

Don't worry Nana, we'll be here to listen to your tales of old poor ladies, and Kwikset keys cut, and young girls grossed out by your veiny physique. We'll even let you regale us with tales of how awesome it was to be a 50+ year old elf.

We incentivise homelessness. Free food, shelter, money etc...
In days past it was considered shameful to beg for money and not work.
Lets make it difficult to be homeless..
Round them up and put them in detention centers outside of town..
The mentally ill among them get forced treatment and the able bodied adults are forced to work for their daily bread.
This would almost end homelessness in a short time but it won't happen because of groups like the leftist ACLU....

PELLIUS, I think that THE GREAT said it best (see above),

I do kinda/sorta recall when the sanitoriums (we called them "Nut Houses" back then) were closed but did the ACLU even exist at that time?

I  thought that it was some federal mandate with no ACLU assistance that closed them down.

There were a  few sanitoriums in  Napa (now a famous grape growing community) and many who worked within those sanitoriums thought that those responsible for closing these sanitoriums down .... should have been committed to these sanitoriums and locked up while the key was thrown away.

So where do these really crazy people go or end up now-a-days and how in the hell do they get there for medical attention?

At one time a few judges in the Northern California region used to send street bums to Hawaii as a penalty ... thinking that they would live better lives in a climate where the sun shined everyday.

Could be that Pellius might have seen a few of these street guys  in that Kaneohe parking lot because a couple of them who dwelt on the streets of Waikiki were found half dead with one arm and one leg roke in several places.

PELLIUS, Keith (Only Me) at one time knew a  street person who hung around that Ala Moana Blvd. bridge leading from Waikiki to the Ala Moana shopping Center.

Do you recall the newspaper article that was written about him after he passed away as being a major player within a Fortune 500 company?

There used to be poor houses in England where people could work to earn money back in the 19th century.  The work was hard, tedious labor and the incentive was to get out and get a better job as soon as possible not stay there forever.  In America today there isn't enough incentive to work as a person can be on the tit from cradle to grave so why work?  Why work hard to pay for health insurance when Medicaid is free?  Why work to buy food when we have EBT cards?  Why pay rent when you can get section 8 housing?  Bring back the labor camps and end welfare and you would see people become more self sufficient real fast.

You know, since the weekend has now come to an end lets compare this sad, lonely old man's weekend to "BB's" with a pictorial montage. I am going to assume "BB" is computer savvy enough to easily verify the date and time these pics were taken which was yesterday and today.

Let us begin with early Saturday with Pellius where, as usual, it's all family and friends -- all fun and games. Here I am taking my niece through a HIT situp routine. As I encourage her to eek out that one last rep, she looks up at me and says, "two more". Not "one more" like the pussies here but TWO more! I've done well instilling her with the HIT training principles I first learned from Arthur Jones.

I quickly super-setted this with some gymnastic training.

After a quick Brunch and some loaf around time it was off to the gym. No pictures this time but suffice to say it was leg day. I was accompanied by one of my nephews, newly inducted to the Honolulu Fire Department.

But after training, it was off to meet my sister, brother and his wife for dinner. The person performing the live entertainment was short two people as they were out sick. So as he was playing one of the waitresses decided to help him out and danced the Hula intermittently throughout the night. A couple of local guys decided to fill in the gaps. They were awesome and the crowd loved it. The aloha spirit in full effect.

I had the fried fish and french fries, then some cheese cake. If I knew I would have taken pictures. People seem to love seeing pictures of other people's food.

No intent to take sides here but I can honestly see the 'beauty' of Hawaii and Hawaii's people in those photos that Pellius posted.

I lived there a good long time and those days were truely Paradie on earth and to this day I can walk along the Las Vegas Strip and say 'Aloha' to numerous visitors ... and be correct about 80% of the time.

Most GetBiggers won't be able to understand because life and life's people are so much different else-where.

Not 'badder'! Not 'gooder'!.....  Just different.

E

You don't think she sees a doctor? She's in the advanced stage of diabetes. If she wasn't on insulin she'd be dead in a matter of hours. A good friend of mine has a mother with the same condition. She had both legs amputated.

Start looking at people's lower legs. At least in Hawaii, there are tons of people walking around with swollen discolored legs. It has these purple and blue splotches. Next there will start to be open sores. Their legs are rotting away. When you have diabetes blood flow is compromised and the extremities get hit first. The legs and the arms. This is all self-induced.
Decades of gorging yourself with high glycemic foods causes insulin resistance leading to type 2 diabetes then eventually type one. So many people are clueless about this. Doctors don't explain it to them. They just treat you with insulin and get you out of the office so they can see another person and get another check from the insurance company.

I belong to a diabetic society. It stems when I use to work at a hospital on the mainland. We realize that people aren't going to go to classes to educate themselves. We go out into the public educating those that we can tell by just looking at them are in the advanced stages of type 2 diabetes.

Now it's not like you just pounce on someone and say, "Hey, I notice you have big fat elephant legs. Let me educate you." You have to be more subtle. McDonald's is a good place because I've found that so many of these people love McDonald's and their cheap ice cream. You see them there all the time and they become familiar with your face. That's when you can strike up a conversation with them and start educating them that type 2 diabetes can be reversed. It's not going to be overnight just like you didn't become insulin resistant overnight but if you don't do anything it is only going to get worse and you will end up in a wheelchair and then eventually get your amputated if you don't die from heart disease first. It's a slow and painful deterioration. So many are clueless as to why they are in that state. Many are very receptive as long as you are not overbearing trying to order them as to how they should live their lives.

With this lady she says it's pointless. It's too far gone. What is she going to reverse? Is she ever going to be able to walk if she starts cutting out sweets, following a cleaner sugar free diet and "exercising".

So then we get back to my original post. Is there a point where it's just not worth it anymore? You've reached a point of no return. Is now a state of just waiting for death like this lady is. She says she just wants to die. Doesn't want any help and will accept no help as it will only prolong her misery. But she still takes insulin. But she used it more like a drug to feel better not so much to stay alive. You go through horrible withdrawals if you don't take your insulin.

Of course, some on this thread are quick to lecture and scold and tell me what I should do when in their own private lives they don't do anything to help others.    

Consider yourself fortunate because obvious you do see these kinds of things where you live. You don't see people just passed out on the sidewalk. That's why you think that someone should call 911 when they see this lady. When the ambulance comes, now what? Take her to the hospital and keep her there? If we could do that there would be nobody on the streets. They'd all be taken care of at other's expense. The problem is that we don't have unlimited resources. When you have one  homeless in a hospital that is one less bed for someone who has paid a lot of money of medical insurance.

I have to admit for all his foibles, I got to respect GH's pimp hand, he Ike Turnered you for near a half decade, without a peep from you -

(https://media1.tenor.com/images/f9e103fea2f1b82aa3f34d5592ed612f/tenor.gif?itemid=9163539).

The whole board knows it's true and You know it's true.


Disgraceful.

So sad. So involved and preoccupied with someone on a bbing message board. And just making up lies with nothing to substantiate it. Show where I "begged" to be an elf. Show how I was "pimped" by gh15? I never sold or bought anything from him and he has never directed me to do anything. What board member did I plot against?

The whole board knows it's a lie and you know it's a lie.

How sad and desperate can a person be? BTW, still waiting for your cowardly self to come out of hiding behind a computer and show us who you are. "By the looks of me," I look like I need to rob the church? Really? I guarantee you that the house I'm in is worth far, far more than the little "flat" (I think that's what you people call it) that you share with your mom. Again, just making things up that are easily -- easily -- disproved.
It's right in front your eyes.

And, of course, you can easily prove me wrong by posting pics of where you live but you won't. Because you can't. Same reason why you would never post a picture of yourself because despite being near 60 years old I am still in far better shape then you have ever been. And chances are I  have more hair on my head than your balding fat self.

Nana,

Anyone that was here during the GH15 years knows how much of a nut you were with the Jedi, Elf, Trenbolena, bullshit. You were GH15's toothless lap dog. All one has to do is read the first page or two of this thread from reply #385 down to see how much of a loon you are and were -

http://www.getbig.com/boards/index.php?topic=439767.375 .

No one with a stable interesting family and social life takes being an "Elf" that seriously. Your family should have Honor Killed you for being that dumb.

As for pics, etc....? Why would I do that. I entered this thread to point out how much of a scum you were for using this lady's misfortune for your amusement, and then I made you dance for mine.

You are this forum's retarded marionette, we play with you till we get bored.

You don't think she sees a doctor? She's in the advanced stage of diabetes. If she wasn't on insulin she'd be dead in a matter of hours. A good friend of mine has a mother with the same condition. She had both legs amputated.

Start looking at people's lower legs. At least in Hawaii, there are tons of people walking around with swollen discolored legs. It has these purple and blue splotches. Next there will start to be open sores. Their legs are rotting away. When you have diabetes blood flow is compromised and the extremities get hit first. The legs and the arms. This is all self-induced.
Decades of gorging yourself with high glycemic foods causes insulin resistance leading to type 2 diabetes then eventually type one. So many people are clueless about this. Doctors don't explain it to them. They just treat you with insulin and get you out of the office so they can see another person and get another check from the insurance company.

I belong to a diabetic society. It stems when I use to work at a hospital on the mainland. We realize that people aren't going to go to classes to educate themselves. We go out into the public educating those that we can tell by just looking at them are in the advanced stages of type 2 diabetes.

Now it's not like you just pounce on someone and say, "Hey, I notice you have big fat elephant legs. Let me educate you." You have to be more subtle. McDonald's is a good place because I've found that so many of these people love McDonald's and their cheap ice cream. You see them there all the time and they become familiar with your face. That's when you can strike up a conversation with them and start educating them that type 2 diabetes can be reversed. It's not going to be overnight just like you didn't become insulin resistant overnight but if you don't do anything it is only going to get worse and you will end up in a wheelchair and then eventually get your amputated if you don't die from heart disease first. It's a slow and painful deterioration. So many are clueless as to why they are in that state. Many are very receptive as long as you are not overbearing trying to order them as to how they should live their lives.

With this lady she says it's pointless. It's too far gone. What is she going to reverse? Is she ever going to be able to walk if she starts cutting out sweets, following a cleaner sugar free diet and "exercising".

So then we get back to my original post. Is there a point where it's just not worth it anymore? You've reached a point of no return. Is now a state of just waiting for death like this lady is. She says she just wants to die. Doesn't want any help and will accept no help as it will only prolong her misery. But she still takes insulin. But she used it more like a drug to feel better not so much to stay alive. You go through horrible withdrawals if you don't take your insulin.

Of course, some on this thread are quick to lecture and scold and tell me what I should do when in their own private lives they don't do anything to help others.    

Consider yourself fortunate because obvious you do see these kinds of things where you live. You don't see people just passed out on the sidewalk. That's why you think that someone should call 911 when they see this lady. When the ambulance comes, now what? Take her to the hospital and keep her there? If we could do that there would be nobody on the streets. They'd all be taken care of at other's expense. The problem is that we don't have unlimited resources. When you have one  homeless in a hospital that is one less bed for someone who has paid a lot of money of medical insurance.  



i'm no expert on diabetes but i know a guy that was diagnosed with diabetes last june, he's in his late 50's

he's obese and his mother and grandmother both died from it and his mom had her leg amputated

i've known him for a few years, he never wore shorts even if it was 95 and humid and he doesn't sweat his body pretty much rains to the point it looks like he was under niagra falls, now i know why he never wore shorts

he went to classes to learn better nutrition after his diagnosis and stuck with it for a month or so but junk food is his drug and he relapsed just like an opioids addict that went to rehab

as for the lady not wanting help, i don't believe that, i think people are just too stubborn and embarrassed to admit they are in a state of helplessness, if she was ready to die she would've jumped off a bridge by now

how anybody can help her though?  i have no clue, most people are their own worst enemy

You are a horrible person. I don't know why people end up like you. When they choose to be just a miserable human being.

Yes, you are a horrible person. Even an evil person. You just blatantly lie
and makeup things out of thin air to suit your perverted agenda.

Now it's become a "super affectionate" relationship? How do you come up with that? What a sick mind.

And I've already stated that I work for an organization that goes out and tries to help and educate people who are primarily homeless, but not limited to just the homeless, that are in the advanced stages of diabetes.

And you, who does nothing to make the world a better place, pervert it because it only shines the light on what a worthless person you are. You like to bring down others that are trying to good in this world because you can't elevate yourself and are stuck into your selfish depravity.

In the end, I live a good and happy life in Hawaii surrounded by friends and family, all who make it part of our life's work, along with our church,
to make the world a better place. While you, well, you have your life. A big part of it is following my life while doing nothing with yours.

Of course, she's on disability as well as social security. She does have mental issues. They all do, they all have. As far as her legs being amputated I would not "assume" such. You and I are not doctors and even if you need your legs amputated you still have to give consent.

You cannot be affectionate with someone you've never met. But why am I even arguing with someone like you? Truth means nothing to you. I'm out on my own time volunteering to help other people while you sit on this board just being a vile and depraved piece of human filth.

I believe in good and evil and in the end the evil will pay. We'll see how cocky you are when you are on your death bed and having to look back on your worthless life. My reward begins every day I wake up in the morning. Your punishment begins every day when you wake up in the morning.

Yep.

This is not only someone who is homeless but someone who is in terrible physical condition that should be seen by a Doctor ASAP.

Pellius, don't turn this into a "Well, GreatOak, why are you not doing something about the homeless in your area?"

Just heed my and Earl's advice and instead of snapping a pic for a forum where no one will help, do a good deed and let a medical professional know of her condition so that they can provide appropriate care.

Yeah, keep telling yourself you're happy. You're a 60 year old unmarried man with no kids, who's only strange romantic relationship was with a faceless internet drug guru who you called "The God of Hormonas".

Pellius is a man that fell in love with another man over the internet. It's odd, but maybe understandable. You've got an older man, who grew up in a very religious family. He feels an attraction to this other guy, and it's safe, because the feelings could be masked in the bodybuilding thing. Then as the feelings grow, he becomes his number 1 Elf (validation of those feelings). GH15 pulls back, and ends the relationship. And poor, dumb Pellius is left bitter and heart broken.

It's sad, but Pellius's nasty disposition makes it hard to feel sorry for him.

What you do is really great and often a thankless job but I bet there are many who do appreciate the awareness you're providing to them of how to improve their lives.

Regarding the lady in the picture, if she is under the care of a Doctor and they are doing all that they can, that is fantastic. However, why is she on the street every day with just a shot of insulin and "she can be on her way"? Since you know a lot about diabetes, isn't there a better way to help her leg situation? Can she walk?

Silenus  (https://harpers.org/blog/2010/10/aristotle-the-wisdom-of-silenus/)told you what's what.

As did Sophocles, who listened to his wisdom:

People of Thebes, my countrymen, look on Oedipus.
He solved the famous riddle (of the Sphinx) with his brilliance,
He rose to power, a man beyond all power.
Who could behold his greatness without envy?
Now what a black sea of terror has overwhelmed him.
Now as we keep our watch and wait the final day,
Count no man happy till he dies,
Free of pain at last (Sophocles, Oedipus Rex).

Best of all for mortal beings is never to have been born,
Nor ever to have seen the bright light of the sun;
But, since he is born, a man should make haste to reach the gates of death,
And then to rest, buried in earth piled high above him (Sophocles, Oedipus at Colonus).

And finally, here's a book  (https://www.amazon.com/Better-Never-Have-Been-Existence/dp/0199549265)to discuss at birthday parties:

Yep, I didn't read that post of yours. Now I have and understand a bit more about the situation.

What you do is really great and often a thankless job but I bet there are many who do appreciate the awareness you're providing to them of how to improve their lives.

Regarding the lady in the picture, if she is under the care of a Doctor and they are doing all that they can, that is fantastic. However, why is she on the street every day with just a shot of insulin and "she can be on her way"? Since you know a lot about diabetes, isn't there a better way to help her leg situation? Can she walk?

I don't know the specific on her medical treatment. You have to be aware of how diabetes progresses. Her legs are dead. As necrosis progresses she will either have to get her legs amputated or die. You can't force medical treatment on an adult.

Losing your legs to diabetes is not uncommon. Asking why is on the street is the same as asking why is there anybody on the street.

Nail on the head. Writing all these long spiels trying to justify the fact he’s willing to do fuck all

Really? I am out there on my own time working with an organization trying to help those with advanced stages of diabetes, primarily targetting the homeless.

What are you doing?

Yes, right across the Windward Mall and the bus stop at the Kaneohe Bay Shopping Center. Right behind her is a Starbucks where all the yuppies are on the Apple laptops and sipping $10 Lattes.

A lot of homeless in the area because across the street there's a post office with a huge parking lot for their trucks and they all sleep there.



The will to live is much stronger than we think.

Starbucks' lattes are really expensive in Hawaii. They are about half that amount Portland. What is it with Starbucks' patrons and Apple laptops? It is the same as here.

So the sarcasm was completely lost on you. That when girls do this they seem to have no consideration on how it will reflect on their family.

Context is everything.

Every homeless person has a story. Not all homeless people are substance abusers. Some homeless folks choose to live on the streets.

My aunt was schizophrenic. She was a former WAC and a military wife, married nearly 20 years. One day right after my uncle retired he left her in their vacant home which they'd recently sold, taking all six kids with him.

The last time my wife and I visited/saw her, she lived in a one room apartment. She was incredibly paranoid and perhaps suffering from hallucinations, insisting there were robbers living in the ceiling. She'd drawn "Indian symbols" on her knees which were giving her pain.

She walked out of her studio apartment in Venice Beach, CA and never went back. She was occasionally hospitalized at the West Los Angeles VA and Camarillo State Mental Hospital, which shuttered its doors in 1997. She hated the meds and would refuse to take them. She died at 83. Presumably, still homeless.

I only just read the post that you go out to talk to these people - if so, it’s quite noble. No need to post pictures of this lady though.

This Flotsam and Jetsam thing was better when Basile did it. :(.

Can we stop with the “flotsam and jetsam” thing?

The big question is, will the ballin’ broad be dialed-in come posedown time?

I disagree. I think it's important for people to see it. What life can be like. That there are real consequences to the choices that you make and things can go bad -- very bad. She didn't mind at all when I asked to take a picture. She was like, "Let them see. Let what happens to some people. What some have to go through."

Those weren't her exact words. She didn't want to show her face. That told me that she didn't want to be recognized. That there is someone out there that knows her.

But you can't close your eyes to the harsh and brutal realities of the world. That's why I always encourage people to post videos of terrorist performing their acts of cruelty. To see with your own eyes what happens in this world. Even if you can't do something directly it stirs a certain mindset.

There were young knights among them who had never been present at a stricken field. Some could not look upon it and some could not speak, and they held themselves apart from the others who were cutting down the prisoners at my Lord's orders, for the prisoners were a body too numerous to be guarded by those of us who were left. Then Jean de Rye, an aged knight of Burgundy who had been sore wounded in the battle, rode up to the group of young knights and said, "Are ye maidens with your downcast eyes? Look well upon it. See all of it. Close your eyes to nothing. For a battle is fought to be won. And it is this that happens if you lose."

I don't understand, I thought pellius was an old-school conservative.  Is he advocating for social services for those less fortunate than him?  Social services that would be paid for using taxpayers' money?

How else would social services be financed?

Oh for chrissakes! Really? A big, big difference between a government program and independent charities like my church and volunteer groups.

People think that conservatives are against charity. Helping those less fortunate than themselves. We oppose a third party taking resources from one group and giving it to another that they think needs it more.

All studies have shown that conservatives to both the House and Senate give more personal charity than liberals who support more money for government programs. Al Gore was one of the most stingiest members in the Senate but the most supportive of government giveaways.

Personal generosity. Good people donating their time, money and energy to try to make the world a better place.

Some people still believe in the concept of good and evil and that it matters, even in a cosmic sense, what side you are on.

I think the difference between conservatives and liberals is that conservatives believe that we exist for a reason...

And that reason is to become better people, spiritually etc.

The values that make us better people are all of the so called "old fashioned" values such as humility, charity, thrift, hard work, justice, kindness to strangers, delayed gratification, appreciation for the good things we have, patriotism etc...etc....

Liberals believe in simply making someones life easier even if it enables bad behavior...

Maybe that's why liberals are so sad/depressed...They believe life is meaningless...

no one knows enough to know the reason

So then we are left with just our own unique perception
