I also almost always give cigarettes when asked nicely.

Pretty much this.

I don't have occasion to run into too many homeless people. My small town has them, I'm sure, but I don't know where.

When I was in Los Angeles a man came up to me at the public library and told me a story about being a student and his car...blah blah blah. I tell you, I don't know if the story was true or not but I liked his approach and his probable imagination. I gave him 5 bucks. My friend later told me that I was a silly small town naive girl, but I didn't care.

I know, there's a sucker born every minute, and I must've been born a thousand times.

I think she meant "live" homeless people.:p:

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 11:47 AM

;)

She did.

The dead ones are in the basement

infinite monkey 03-29-2011 11:54 AM

You kill me.

Actually, I keep the dead ones in a tent out back. :lol2:

Yes, they probably stay fresher for longer this time of year

I give money to the homeless; I give money and clothing to shelters. I don't know if it is the best way to end homelessness, however, it seems like the moral thing to do.

I would be willing to buy a stack of Baseball bats so Shaw could film hobos beating each other up and she could make a million off her Youtube posts.

infinite monkey 03-30-2011 09:51 PM

Metal or wood bats? What sort of quality? Walmart bats probably can't live up to the job. :)

TheMercenary 03-30-2011 09:54 PM

They all work. Head bashing is such a simple task. A single strike is so effective. Have you ever seen a slaughter house for cows or pigs? Quite a site.

infinite monkey 03-30-2011 09:56 PM

I've seen trees chopped down. If I weren't in the forest would they have made a sound?

Do you hear it Clarice, the silence of the limbs?

TheMercenary 03-30-2011 09:57 PM

If you are quick the sound is minimal. Effective. Swift. Complete.

Makes one think again about giving.



Check out the woman at about 2:30 in...

TheMercenary 04-05-2011 08:36 PM

Give them all baseball bats and take the video....

I panhandled once. I asked a guy outside the liquor store for a dollar, and he actually gave me one. Alcoholics always have sympathy for one another. :D
