Jordan: “If a homeless man can ask for spare change he can say welcome to McDonald’s”

[Max Power]

Says all homeless people are lazy

Where?

Please quote that exact sentence I call all homeless people lazy.

 

[UpAndComing]

These crackheads weren't with me studying for database structures, stats, nor were they with me when I write in Powershell to automate tasks....

They can do that....then they wouldn't be on the street....

Grown toddlers....pathetic

So no PowerQuery or Excel VBA?

Man who is you
If I was talking specifically to you I would’ve quoted you
I’m addressing this line of reasoning, not anyone in particular

 

[Luck]

Majority of the homeless population is addicts.

Homeless folks aren’t lazy…they just can’t maintain a level of consistency to make any real gains in life…

Any nikka in the hood know, that a lot hypes do great work at what they do but trying to find them and get them to do the work in the timely fashion while having to be on their ass, then you see why they’re in the position that they’re in. It ends up being not worth the time and effort at some point.

The same can be said for a lot of peoples on different levels and different aspects of life tho.

@Rhakim I know you on a break from The Coli, but your input is needed.

@gabbo

Just stepping in. I'm guessing it's a TLRepub convention.




Yeah I'm going to be missing @Rhakim

 

[Crude]

Degenerate behavior on Jordan’s behalf, if he didn’t want to give the bum money then fine, but he should have left Chuck alone if it was on Chucks heart to give the man money.

Thats my problem with the whole situation is him stopping Chuck, and not the fact that he didn’t actually give the homeless guy money.

A lot y’all don’t realize the same thing that made Jordan probably the greatest NBA player ever and one of the most iconic professional athletes of all time is the exact same thing that makes him a scumbag.

Jordan comes from a very old school upbringing and believes in the grind and chasing excellence by any means necessary and almost to the point of paranoia. A type A personality like Jordan doesn’t understand how another person just settles for squalor.

I’ve known plenty of men like him, it’s actually not an uncommon mindset especially for men around his age. Guys with that personality are usually high achievers and do great things in life, but a characteristic of that personality type is being an azz hole and not always easy to work with.

 

[Fletch]

I see Jordan’s point, but I like to take a different approach and just give them food and water. I’d rather give them something they need rather than give them money to spend of liquor or drugs. I know someone else will, but I don’t feel right about it.

Coli on its Republicans Buy Sneakers too shyt today.

 

[homiedontplaydat]

I agree

I'll give to a woman with children, but not no grown ass man

 

[Consigliere]

I’ve seen too many panhandlers spend money on drugs and liquor to have an issue with this.

 

[Scustin Bieburr]

Persistent homelessness is a result of multiple factors
1. Cost of living and lack of affordable housing stock
2. Unresolved health problems from addiction, to severe mental illness and disability.
3. A lack of mental health housing/institutions

A homeless person whose spinal is badly damaged and needs prescribed pain medication but can't find a job where he doesnt have to be on his feet for several hours a day is supposed to do what?

A guy born with down syndrome whose parents died and has no other family to take care of him and has the intellectual capacity of a 8 year old is supposed to do what?

A woman with schizophrenia who doesn't even know who or where she is most of the time and has been taken by a pimp, given drugs and then discarded when she can't pull any more tricks is supposed to do what?

An incarcerated man with PTSD who was locked up before he could finish high school and was brutalized daily for 30 years is supposed to do what?

Sometimes a homeless person fits into all of the above. It ain't as simple as just giving them a job.
