haha

i just bought a bum a 6 pack at the store.







do u think it's wrong or cool? the chick i work with gave me shit about it. she is so against giving bums money or anything and i don't understand it. half the fucking bums down here are probably veterans who faught for us in nam and got all fucked up from the war...i think we owe it to them. don't get me wrong, there are a lot of bums who are annoying and threatening, but most of them just want a few bucks to get some cigs or whatever and mind their own business.


i can't stand when ppl are like, "ughh! they need to quit drinking and get a job". yea like i'm sure they can just waltz right into some place hiring and get a job at this point. it's like who fucking cares if they'd rather have a beer than a sandwich. they've got a shitty ass life so whatever makes them happy. personally if i was depressed and homeless i'd rather have beer too.

Thumbs up

At least it was a 6 pack and not money. So you gave him something but don't have to worry about him getting drugs (which is why alot of people don't give bums money).

I say good deed for the day.

I agree, i got loads of dodgy looks for buying a homeless bloke a McDonalds breakfast meal. He was freezing cold and had a stray dog with him. It makes you feel really good inside for doing it, i dont see what some peoples problem is.

that is pretty cool...i bought a bum a bunch of tacos from del taco one day. it was taco tuesday..3 for a dollar! i felt bad that he would have had to miss out


Posted by j_spot on Apr-08-2005 15:57:

you should have sat down with him on the corner and cracked one open with him.

screw the 6-pack... buy him a 60oz of the hardest shit you can find. Buy him a case of 60oz. With any luck the poor bastard will die of alcohol poisoning. I don't understand people that want to help these people. I mean really, if they want to wollow in self-pitty then let them. If they are lucky they will drink themselves to death quickly and end their misery.

well i was standing in line and he came up behind me all dirty w/ his backpack and this sad look on his face, and he was sorting through his crumbled up dollar bills getting ready to pay for it, so i just grabbed the 6 pack and paid for it with my stuff. he was so happy and he was like, "man it must be my lucky day how come you're buying this for me" and i was like, "oh i'm just feeling nice today" haha


u know what's weird? about a month ago, i was at the same store buying something and there was a bum standing in line behind me just like today w/ a six pack and i felt really bad for him and it didn't really occur to me to buy it for him until after i walked out of the store. then i was like kicking myself all day about it and i felt bad and wished i had bought it for him.

wouldn't it be cool if it was the same bum? i don't really remember what the first one looked like cuz i didn't like stare at him.

lol, anyways, I'd have to agree (kinda). If I bought a homeless guy something, I'd be worried that he'd hang out in the same place (which is on my route) and I'd constantly feel like I'd have to buy him stuff everyday, or atleast every now and then (and I'm always strapped for cash, plus I feel weird saying no :/ ).

Anyways, why a beer than a sandwich? I dunno, you're right though their lives suck, if I were them I'd start purse-snatching or something to try to boost funds. I mean even if they got caught doing that, so what? They get sent to jail, have a warm place to sleep, three meals a day, clean showers, etc. sounds better to me

But in all honesty I'd probably just kill myself if I were homeless, I couldn't live like that


Posted by NiteMer on Apr-08-2005 16:03:

I feel bad for homeless people, but, as Jay said, I don't give them money, because I don't know what they'll be using it for. I almost want to carry some canned food, in my car, to offer them. Then, if they're really hungry, they'll take it, and, if not, they won't.


Posted by tribu on Apr-08-2005 16:04:

If it made you feel good to do it, and it made him happy, I dont see that it was a bad thing to do. I wouldn't have personally done it but thats irrelevant here.


Posted by igottaknow on Apr-08-2005 16:06:

jamie if you bought me a 6 pack i'd make you a sandwich

random acts of kindness are kool. i guess ur not such a bitch after all

I'd give him bread though, but there's nothing wrong with beer.

That's the wrong attitude.... give them crack, lots of it, hopefully enough that their heart explodes! Anything we can do to speed up their death is a good thing.... it really is the humane thing to do.


Posted by Slylee on Apr-08-2005 16:18:

actually i live in ft. lauderdale and the bums are way cooler and more humble here than in south beach/miami. the ones in south beach piss me off and i usually bitch them out.

it's usually some cracked out black guy walking up to me saying some shit like, "hey baby u like some chocolate, ey yo, u got some change" like totally following me and harrassing me. those are the ones i tell to f*** off.


Posted by Moral Hazard on Apr-08-2005 16:22:

Toronto bums kick ass.... they usually don't say a thing, just sit there with a sign or their hand out. My favorit is this guy that has a sign "kick a punk for a buck".... someday when I have a really bad day I'm going to pay him a visit with a roll of Loonnies (nick name for Canadian dollar coin).

why don't u take your own advice there and OD...i doubt you'll be missed.

That seems like the right attitude to have. The ones we have here just sit on their asses all day collecting money, and then go back to their nice house at the end of the day. The worst thing is they make a lot more money than a lot of the hard working citizens... Bastards.

I'm not a pathetic, degenerate, drain on resources, living a miserable, subsistance life, wollowing in my own self pitty. I am a valuable member of my society. My life is worth living.


Posted by Streakfury on Apr-08-2005 16:48:

I never get asked for money by bums. Instead, the real filth of the streets (scallies) always come up to me and are like "'ere merte, could do yous do us a faevor un' lend us some mooney??" even when they've got a wad of dollar in their pockets, the scrounging bastards. And you know they want it for crack. They want shooting, the lot of them.

you sound more like a narcissistic prick to me with a block of ice for a heart!

like i said, i doubt you'd be missed


Posted by LeopoldStotch on Apr-08-2005 17:00:

why did you give him a 6 pack ?? you could have been adding on to his problems .. he could have been a bum, because he has an alcohol addiction, and he can't stop .. he bought too much alcohol, and couldn't pay rent .. his wife threw him out the apartment, because of his addiction, and he feels beer is the cause of his current demise right now .. ... hahhaa

you should have gave him a lemonade (a lemon always make everyone smile), an apple (an apple a day keeps the doctor away), and a fortune cookie (maybe a good fortune inside the cookie will brighten his spirits..) .. then again, you could have given him some money, and he could have gotten the coke/weed himself .. could have deterred his alcohol addiction thoughts a little furthur while he gets high ...

hahahhahaa .....

Quite the contrary. I love all men. That is why I would rather see these people dead then continue to suffer. The same is true of persons with incurable medical conditions that reduce their lives to constant pain and torment. If your dog was crippled, could not move on his own, and had no chance of recovery would you not put him down? Why should it be different with people? IF these homeless persons are living life in a nice downward spiral feeding their addictions in a self destructive life then I think it is safe to assume that they are trying to off themselves. If that is the case then should we not help them? Like my sig says... Let all that is falling also be pushed.... why prolong their suffering by prolonging their lives? That's cruel and anyone who seeks to help these people live a longer life I call them heartless!
