HOW do you convince yourself it’s okay to just walk by homeless people? What excuses do you use?

I tip escorts though.

Don't know about all that, I mean I come from KC and most of them nikkas are either drunk, high, but rarely crazy.......just old ass bums who never kicked they addcition.......same goes for where I live now.....homeless shelter is not really full of crazies......mostly junkies.

Just cause someone is mentally ill doesnt mean it shows on the outside 24/7. It has been proven in multiple studies that the majority of homeless people have sole type of mental illness. That can range from an Anxiety Disorder all the way to Schizophrenia.

I live in Seattle, cacs only are homeless here cuz they want to be so fukk em

its the same here in vegas. ive offered folks hard up for cash jobs in customer service or being a ticket writer at a sports book, and you get responses like "i dont want to work weekends" or "i cant work too late" or "i need saturday nights off thats when my girlfriend is off" the jobs pay at least 12 an hour, full benefits plus tips and we cant keep it filled. up and down the strip, and all over the city theres jobs to be had if folks really wanted the work. feels like the vast majority of the folks you see just dont want to put in the effort, or that they are beyond those jobs because they got laid off from a higher salary job

I live in midtown but I used to see a female that worked at Goldrush so I know that area and that bridge well

That's just what they do out here

They play on people's emotions to get money then they take that money and get twisted

There are homeless shelters out here that will house a lot of the people on the streets, but the main rules of those shelters are
1. No sexual contact inside the shelters

2. No drugs in the shelters

A lot of these homeless people don't wanna follow those rules so they choose the street

exaclty

when i was teaching in midtown i had students who lived in shelters. id always bring them extra shyt.
but dudes on the corner who just gonna go get beer or heroin from The Bluff


They are starting to stand on the corners in Clayton County with signs as far down as Lovejoy and Hampton now smh

I'm one missed bill from being homeless my damn self .

Not caring about the homeless and not giving every homeless person you see money, are two different things.

 

[I Really Mean It]

If I have a spare dollar or some change on me, I always give money.....if they're black. Otherwise, I just

This year (and really the middle of last year) I said I’d try to help every homeless person I came across

And I have

I got 1 a job at a Trader Joe’s after helping him get his social security card and ID,

A couple of others jobs at mcdonalds

And the rest into shelters around the city

All it takes is 30 dollars to really help a homeless person

The first thing you ask them, is do they have any felonies, if they say no, then your job going forward is easy. Offer them coffee or a quick fast food bite

Take down their information and help them find a job.

How can you just walk by without helping? Why is that okay? What do you tell yourself to make yourself feel better about it?

Don’t need an excuse. I’ve been homeless and wasn’t looking for anyone to give me shyt

Too busy with school and work plus a huge portion of them are either mentally ill or nomads with rich racist parents.

In NYC you just get used to it. Sad but true.

 

[TheBigBopper]

I pay $70k per year in tax. That’s more than enough help for the poor from me.

 

[Rell Lauren]

In NYC you just get used to it. Sad but true.

Also, you know who the heroin addicts are.

 

[OC's finest]

Bruh,

It's noble what u do, but it's very idealistic and immature

Alotta homeless ppl, u could give em all the money in the world, and they still gon be homeless. It's not a money issue. Alotta times it's a mental health/drug issue. And to be honest, I ain't qualified to help em. These ppl need serious help from professionals, which I am not.

 

[Fun Sized Psycho]

Yes my Job is vital to me not being homeless...correct. Not new info for me. And I’d never lose it all bc I myself am not an addict. But I’m kinda bowing out of this thread bc I’ve been peeping your steez in other threads and I get your gimmick. You’re a troll acting like mr. perfect. I’m not gonna contribute to your thread anymore brah.

Go peep the bring the a stick to a chair fight and see what I’m talking about y’all

interesting.

 

[Amestafuu (Emeritus)]

Why dehumanize them that way though? Can you not see how money would be more important than food? That money could Be transportation, replacement ID, social security card, job interview attire. Food is commendable but what does that really do for them.

We have to stop looking at homeless people like animals or creatures. It isn’t right

They wanted drug money..


Out here there's shelters where brehs can get a whole meal for a dollar and they won't spend that cuz they wanna put all their change into drugs.. I don't look at them like animals I just won't support that habit.

The last time I gave a breh a whole meal he said thanks but I'd rather have a quarter
