I saw a homeless man having a conversation with a fire hydrant today
 

The fire hydrant was yellow and didn't appear to be too involved in the conversation. :2 cents:

did you kick him?

:1orglaugh i would have thrown red paint on his poor ass, wtf would he do!? he is homeless and high on crack! :1orglaugh

Maybe, he was on some shrooms or crack.

LISTEN ASSHOLE..me and him go way back so fuck off, I'll talk to who I damn well please.

Nah, I was in my car coming from buying some pizza, which I am enjoying right now with some Heineken. :thumbsup

I think he wanted to fight, it looked like he was giving the "come on pussy, lest do it" hand motion to the yelloe fire hydrant, who from now on we shall refer to as "yellow hydrant."

so throw some paint on him, it will make his homeless ass clothes look "new" :1orglaugh .

The state of Hawaii can thank the city of San Francisco for sending us all their homeless people. Bastards.,

should have gave the dude some money, seriously.

Fuck that, they can get a job like the rest of the fucking country.

shoulda been like "Are you gonna take that from him?"

how do you know he was "homeless" by choice or laziness?

he could have gone bankrupt, born that way, lost his life long job, got out of the army and did nothing...

why not help the mother fucker out, you who is a 'working class' citizen, give him a buck or two or whatever change you have in your pocket to make his life a little bit better.

you fall asleep on your sofa while watching TV while he is sleeping a smelly gutter trying to stay warm.

i've met some very nice hyrdants before, what's wrong with that?

o please, since when did you come the new nazi pope? i have laughed in school when the teachers told me "only 10% of homeless do drugs" :1orglaugh dont spend ALL your money on crack and you wont be homeless, and if you are admit you are a crackhead and i will help you!

think whatever you like dude but I like to help out the less fortunate like the homeless. have you ever even held a conversation with a 'homeless' person? i doubt it, they are people like you and me man. people ARE born into poverty you know?

I once watched a psych patient try to climb into a full-length mirror for 45 minutes.

and a few bucks out of my pocket here and there aint gunna hurt me.

id prob blow it on booze or something stupid anyways

I have no problem helping the less fortunate, in fact I advocate it, but most homeless people are homeless because they are either addicts or too lazy to work. That is a fact. I do everything I can for soingle mother types working two jobs to get by. Did you know that people collecting welfare in teh state of Hawaii make an average of $17 per hour? I'm drunk, so this debate isn't goin gto go as smoothly as it would if I were sober, but the fact of the matter is most homeless (in this state anyway) are fucking meth addicts, and I am sure as fuck not going to support his meth addiction. :2 cents:

where do you live?

i must know before i answer.

drunk, same as me bro, finishing off the last of it.

dont want to support their habits? how the fuck do you know they are going to spend the money you give them on drugs? yea sure, some of them like to get fucked up all the time, but food, clothes, first aid, shelter, many other things can be bought with $ they recieve.

they want to spend the $ you give them on drugs, fuck it man, let them do it. let them kill themselves faster. we all are going to die anyways. its the fact that you helped them do whatever out. you gave them some $.

why does it matter?

north, south, east, west, who gives a fuck.

go ahead and answer. I live in the US

why because i want to know where you are from so i can throw red paint on your homless ass also!

STFU SIG BITCH!

and if youre going to be snobby over $3 bucks here and there is just fucking hillarious to me

whats $3 bucks to you, the man with the steady income.

THis guy was trying to get in a fight with a yellow fire hydrant, he had to ahve bene on something. And, before i support his drug havit I'll buy myself more beer to support my fun habit.

and the ignorant speak once again

HAHAHA! since when did you become a fucking angel! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE IT! you speak about shit all the time and then someone makes from the homeless and you are here to save the day.

it is:

a) not my fault i have a job and pay bills
b) not my fault that i dont smoke crack


these people need to wake the fuck up.

now before we start go blaming drugs, how do you know he didnt have some kind of mental illness, 20-25% of homeless people have mental illnesses.

but yea the dude could have been cracked out of his mind of some shit, but obviously he is trying to escape some fucked up thing in his life if he's ending up talking to a fucking fire hydrant.

Everyone has problems, EVERYONE. I don't care who you are, there is something in your life you would change, If he turned to drugs then that is his own fault, and i don't think its my responsiblity to make it right. Sure, plenty of homeless people are homeless because of a mental illness, which I feel sorry for, but again, here is Hawaii there are a lot of IHS places he could go. There are 2 that I know of within a 5 minutes walk of where I saw him provoking a yellow fire hydrant.

that was me dude

not cool

This guy was an older person.

im not saying its these peoples fault

im saying how can you be so blind

o fucking please how the fuck is it that immigrants came across long ago and worked in meat factories doing the same thing for 25 years straight and never complained about it, the goal was to put food on the table, people are full of shit these days, i am sorry, if you live in north america or "most" or Europe there is 0 EXCUSE!

This is very true, I know several people who came from the old country with nothing and lefte their ancestors very well off.

That was Bill Gates pretending to be homeless. Had you been generous with him he would have put you in his will.

Owned. :D

because there was a great depression then ?

yea, 0 excuses if your mother was a crackhead and didnt know who yer father was, 0 excuses if your head was fucked up and you just ran and/or couldnt hold a job and 0 excuses if you went into medical backruptcy(can that happen in canada?) and the bank took everything you had, yea ZERO EXCUSES!!

im going to bed, everyone involved leave your icq and we will/can continue this discussion later on.

pz

haha

Like I said, I feel sorry for poeole who try but can't amke it. But,m there are people who have made it starting out bad. Oprah is a great example. She was a black female born into poverty, raped, abused, etc., but look where sh eis today,. Anyone who says that they can't make it because of how they started out is just using that as an excuse. :2 cents:

nofx has been taught well

I know the guy you mean. He use to post here on a regular basis, he needed to find more stimulating conversation and more intelligent people to speak to. So now speaks to fire hydrant's :xomunch

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

My girlfriends dad was telling me about how he used to be homeless at 19 and started doing manual labor jobs for people and saved up enough to move into an apartment with somebody else then he started working at a grocery store for a few years and went to community college then got a steady job at a bank at $45,000 per year. Now at 52 he owns his own motorcycle repair shop and a little pizza place down town. If they wanted to the homeless really wouldn't be homeless.

ha ha :1orglaugh that is a great one :thumbsup and i'm sorry for the man :( he needs :helpme

Exactly. Most immigrants who came over from Europe in the early 1900s came here with nothing and built great businesses. I know plenty who ended up millionaires.

Yea exactly, I remember when i went down to houston there was this gas station where alot of mexicans who i assumed had just crossed the boarder hung out and waited for jobs since companies went there to hire people. I saw a truck that looked like it belonged to a construction company and all the mexican dudes jumped up and rushed to it in hopes of getting a job. About half of them got hired but what i noticed is that the bums sitting in the same general area didn't even bother to look twice.

hmmm, thats my first response. I would have given that poor bastard some money, I'm a sucker for that shit, lucky I dont live in USA eh.

We have a bit of a homeless problem up here. Which is amazing considering it's only a 150k populance metropolis. They're mostly polite though except for the young ones. Especially this one guy "Joe". He NEVER asks for money. He just stands around greeting people, talking with them etc etc. People buy him coffeee, sandwiches and give him change without even having to ask because he's polite and kind.

Then there's the 20some year old street punks who harass you for money. If you say no they call you everything but a white man and claim that you're selfish and an asshole for nto helping them. Last year this one fella attacked a woman for not giving him money.

A local reporter interviewed one of them and asked "Why don't you get a job to support yourself?.

His response?.....

Get ready for this....

"Why should I? I make $800 a week doing this and have my own condo appartment downtown here"
