I was correcting you on your assumption that no actual life experience has factored into my stance on this.





I was just saying the line about homeless people all being mentally-ill vets was some recycled bullshit. I don't doubt you have experience with homeless people, everybody does, it's life. But I think we both know you didn't come up with that on your own.

Have you lived in areas with high homeless populations and high crime rate? It's not pleasant by any means, but when you interact with these people on the daily, you start realizing that they're human and they vary just as much as anyone else.




I live 2 blocks from the salvation army, and I have an alley behind my house, I definitely deal with these people every day. I've been thinking about recording some of the crazy shit I see around here.

I have people very close to me who are homeless and very close friends who have homeless family members. I don't like watching a father lie to his daughter just so he can take advantage of her love for him, that shit is fucked on every single level. And no I will not elaborate on this.

Lucky who? And who are you saying is smart with their dough?



The lady who copped 20 bucks off the opening poster.

Not people that give their money to junkie strangers.

C'mon, bro.. It ain't like that. I'm just saying, you're entitled to not give them anything, but others may if they're wanting to. That doesn't make them dumb or foolish or whatever. Ya know?

I don't think it's good to enable people in self-destructive behaviors. I don't give money to people that are clearly just looking for consumables, i do offer to give them food and drink though.

I don't think anyone is entitled to have any opinion on how someone spends their money, who they vote for, how many guns they have, what gender or race they subscribe to, or any of this other controversial shit that's been posted lately.

If someone wanted to throw a 5 grand stack of 100s at a junkie, great, no sweat off my back.

Not aimed at anyone just putting this out there.

I've given junkies and homeless people hits and bags of dope--never leave behind a sick junkie!

In fact, I am much more likely to give a homeless person money or drugs, if they are simply honest with me and say, "I'm really sick and withdrawing right now." I can empathize with that, and I'm much more likely to give them money rather than if they were to come up with some fake sob story or lie.




100%

Shit, I used to just roll up and swill on handles of cheap vodka with some of the neighboorhood bums.

Who am I making look dumb or foolish? The title of this thread is a question, "Is It Wrong To Give Junkies Money?" So obviously OP was looking for peoples opinions on the subject.

I'm confused.

Sorry, bud.. I think I read too far in to one of your posts or had you confused with someone else.
We're good.. Chalk it up to my mistake and not being able to convey tone thru text. :peace:

Whomever figures out how to differentiate tone via text is going to be a multi-millionaire.
