Very simple answer:

THEY DON’T WANT NO DAMN JOB…

They simple want and EXPECT your sympathy which means these lazy turds think YOU should give them money.

They do NOT want to work for food, they do NOT want to work for money. They want someone else to give it to them. So I figure when I see one I don’t give them a damn thing. I figure when they start to starve to death they’ll get off their lazy *** and work.

When I lived down in Long Beach, while I was in the Navy a buddy and me a few different times on weekends would go up to these people and offer them a ride to our horse so they could mow our yards and wash our cars and for that we would give them like $30.

Hell no, out of approx. 15 different lazy *** bums not one, NOT one wanted to work even though all these scum bags were holding signs: ”Will work for money”

They would say some stupid thing like ”Come on buddy have a heart” I told them I did and hoped they starved to death and that was my way of looking out for them…

The vast majority of homeless are homeless by CHOICE, don’t let any liberal tell you otherwise. I say ship them all out to the damn desert so we don’t have to look at their nasty lazy ***…

I work downtown and can't walk 5 ft without someone sticking a hand out.

I whole heartedly agree with this.

How can I disagree?

I agree with Burt, we have them here also, and last summer while stopped at a red light, some nasty *** bum came up to my window and asked me for money.
I said 'Get in, I'll drive you to my place, I'll pay you $8 an hour to do yard work for the day"

I thought I could be the lazy bastard for a change and help some lost, poor u8nfortunate soul, HA! Ya right!!

He thanked me but said he made more begging from all the cars who get stuck behind the traffic light.

These lazy ****** probably make more money begging on the street than a lot of people earn working, I bet it would be quite a surprise if we knew the truth.

I really like the fools that are on the corner begging with brand new nike shoes, nike jogging suits, and rings on their fingers. Had a guy last year stop me and ask for some money. Said since I was a firefighter he figured I would take care of someone in need. I told him that he could go sell his brand new outfit and shoes, pawn his jewelry and really look like a homeless person, and then maybe I would throw him some change. I hate greedy people. Whoever our next president is, I hope they DRASTICALLY change the welfare system too. I am so sick and tired of working to support a bunch of lazy a$$'s so they dont have to do anything. The steam coming from my ears is almost gone now.....sorry for the rant.

First oh all, don't knock my money. Atleast I can be lazy and know how much I am pulling out just by colour.

Second of all, I watched a TV special on those moochers. Some of them make $300 tax free a day from stupid people who give them money. $300 a day? Screw the Lightning, where's my Limo?

Hi,

True story:
I used to work at a Taco Bell in a fairly ritzy suburban town near Indianapolis. The Bell was located right off a major interstate on the outskirts of town. Well in the summer we would occasionally see a very nice cadillac pull up to the side of the road right in front of the Bell and a middle aged "homeless" man would get out and set up shop right at the end of our drive thru. He had all the props, "work for food" sign, ratty ole backpack, even a sad looking dog sometimes.

Well you would see all kinds of cars stop all day long giving this scumbag money and then drive away. At about noon the same cadillac that dropped him off would stop by and collect his earnings for the morning and then leave. At the end of the day, this cadillac would then come and pick him up. The next day, he would be back.

This would go on for a week or two, then he would dissappear for a month and then come back for a couple more weeks.

A coworker of mine finally worked up enough ***** to go out and ask the dude what he was doing out there everyday and who was in the cadillac. The guy acted real pompous and finally told him that it was his wife in the cadillac and didn't want to get a job because panhandling paid him about $45-50,000 a year, tax-free. And he only worked during the summer and fall seasons. The rest of the year he and his wife would go on vacation. When asked why he had a dog with him, He said he made more money if he brought their dog with him, but didn't very often because it was hard on him sitting out in the sun all day. What a nice guy!!!

He said he had 3 other "hot" spots in different parts of the city and he rotated locations so he wouldn't draw too much attention.

We started to tell our customers in the drive thru not to give him any money and why. He finally stopped coming around shortly there after.

So needless to say, I don't give any of these losers money anymore. This experience really jaded my opinion of the homeless community.

Yeah, seems like with the experience that they have from standing on the side of the road holding a sign at chest level for hours in the hot @ss sun, they could get a job with the department of transportation real easy!

How come if I stand in the middle of the road with a shovel.....the police will REMOVE ME from the roadway until I have a police detail. The police detail is required for "safety".

I encounter these bozos every day. Two or three of them in the road. They will walk up a two or three lane road while the light is green. They F*&% traffic all up.

There definitely are homeless people in this country, but not everyone holding up a sign and claiming to be homeless really is. I used to pass a certain individual with the ratty clothes, the sign, the down-on-his-luck attitude, etc. every day after work on my way over to where I parked. Then one day I had to leave work early and I caught him parking his car and heading for his spot.

These guys are shameless.

What gets me is, if you say No to these people, they get mad at you. Oh sorry, I didn’t know it was my job in life to finish high school, work any job I could to get money, make it into College, work full time while in college to pay my way, and then pick up 2 part time jobs in the summer bar tending and bouncing for extra money for 6 straight years, spend my week nights in the Library until 2am just to get up a 8am and start my day again, take a chance with a small insurance company, get laid off, get hired with the number one investment company in the country, work my *** off so I can get all the things in life that I want, have no debt, a condo a FORD Truck and a motorcycle and a few extra bucks in my pocket JUST so you can tell me off when I say no when you want a spare dollar… I don’t think so.
