You know what? I see the same dirty dude on the corner of Market St across from 30th St Station every day, 12+ hrs a day, sitting on a milk crate selling flowers. He NEVER asks for a penny, just sits there and tries to sell roses for $5. He is very friendly, even though dude obviously is dirty and poor. THAT is the kind of guy I'd give my cash to...I admire him greatly. The dude literally sits there for 12+ hrs...morning noon and night, to make a few bucks selling flowers instead of the 10000000 bums around here who not only ask for change, but demand it.
Here they open the door for you, and if you dont pay, you get yelled at for not paying for their services. You get followed down the street getting whistled at, just so they can beg you for change. You get approached at the line in 7-11, where they sit and wait for you to pay and then hound you for your change so you cant say "no i dont have any." Its ridiculous. I could go on forever. There's one guy who sits at red lights, then comes out in front of your car and starts screaming at you how he needs money.
F*ck them...most of them....get a job. There are so many programs available...they can get cleaned up, get one free outfit and go work a day at Mcdonalds to get themselves on their feet at least.
:werd:
They are where they are by choice. Making $50k! Shit!
