Another thing that i want to comment on about this situation. He's riding up to me on a bike! Where did he get the bike? If he has a bike, that means he can bike a couple of miles down the road and go to the company that hires out homeless people each day. It's seriously not that far. Another thing is that he asked me for a specific amount: 1.30$ jeez buddy, must've asked that question to others before me because you seem to know how much it would cost.
The way that I view homeless people is that they are pathetic worthless people! There are ways to getting around being homeless and if you stand on the side of a curb and make 20$ from 1 person and 5$ from the next, that gives you enough money to go and clean yourself off, buy a razor and some shaving cream, look into a mirror at a mcdonalds bathroom and shave your face and if you have more money than that, buy some soap, go to the closest store and buy some shoes, socks, etc. Things are not that expensive if you watch how many people give a homeless person money per day on the side of the freeway (easy money if you ask me, you just have to deal w/ standing there w/ a cardboard sign in the heat and cold) With all of the money that homeless people make i'm sure they could buy themselves a decent wardrobe and get themselves back onto their feet in no time. The only problem I see is lazyness, or they're just plain crazy, have no common sense. or have a drug problem, some are truly handicapped as well, but don't let that fool you, looks can be deceiving!
I see homeless people as predators. I'm not making the bold statement that all homeless people are like this, i'm sure there are people who just ran into bad luck or just had really bad things happen to them in their lives, but are trying to get back on their feet (those ones i respect but i'm not really interested in their life or how they got there because they could give a crap about me as much as I do them so it balances out from that standpoint). The reason I call them predators is that they are looking for suckers that will give them money. "sir can you spare some change?" "here you go, here's 1$" - then no thanks or anything, sometimes you'll get a godbless, then all of the sudden while you're walking away "spare some change mister" all over again. you hear them ask the next person like they just forgot that they got some money. How many suckers give their money to homeless people? that's a good question, here are some stats, stories and other sites.....

I have nothing in common with you, but I want to GIVE you something
AND ITS NOT MONEY!!!
LOL. you know what, why don't you get a job? you smell like shit! Ah what a great movie, here's a good quote from it.
"Do you like Phil Collins? I've been a big Genesis fan ever since the release of their 1980 album, Duke. Before that, I really didn't understand any of their work. Too artsy, too intellectual. It was on Duke where Phil Collins' presence became more apparent. I think Invisible Touch was the group's undisputed masterpiece. It's an epic meditation on intangibility. At the same time, it deepens and enriches the meaning of the preceding three albums. Christy, take off your robe. Listen to the brilliant ensemble playing of Banks, Collins and Rutherford. You can practically hear every nuance of every instrument. Sabrina, remove your dress. In terms of lyrical craftsmanship, the sheer songwriting, this album hits a new peak of professionalism. Sabrina, why don't you, uh, dance a little. Take the lyrics to Land of Confusion. In this song, Phil Collins addresses the problems of abusive political authority. In Too Deep is the most moving pop song of the 1980s, about monogamy and commitment. The song is extremely uplifting. Their lyrics are as positive and affirmative as anything I've heard in rock. Christy, get down on your knees so Sabrina can see your asshole. Phil Collins' solo career seems to be more commercial and therefore more satisfying, in a narrower way. Especially songs like In the Air Tonight and Against All Odds. Sabrina, don't just stare at it, eat it. But I also think Phil Collins works best within the confines of the group, than as a solo artist, and I stress the word artist. This is Sussudio, a great, great song, a personal favorite."
