Thats where i started my bike trip from... Stay away from the "Pit" LOL

yea back before the middle class started moving further and further away from the top in the USA. But now..:mad:..sorry

sure i give them extra $ if i have it. good karma ys :)

last time i gave this dude 5 dollars at a bus station. he started guarding my luggage while i smoked a cig. then hes like hey u should stand in the sun its warmer there u know. i think then he was my bodyguard.

i was tripping pretty good on dxm at the time. i was listening to cradle of filth. it was great getting this homeless black dude the headphones and watching the expression turn to horror. hheh
it was a cold day, he gave me his gloves before i got on the bus.

Once in awhile. Depends on the person. Just this afternoon I gave a lady some money. I see her quite often outside the store that I go to before work. I've never given her money before but she was honest and said she needed a beer. She looked so sad and tired. Couldn't imagine living life like that.

i gave 10 dollars to a beggar in philly last month
he said he was going to do marjiuana research
and i trust that he bought some and then resarched what he bought as well as it could be researched.

Wicked story.

there are ALOT of homeless people by me
see the same people everyday alot of the time
it's hard to walk by, and not give money
when things might not be there fault-as to why they are out on the street
i do like to talk to some homeless people also...
see their story, etc.

any change i have at the end of the night has
been going to people living on the street
almost every night

i'm pretty broke, wish i had more
but i know they are 10x worse off than i am
so i give 'em a quarter or two, and
tell them as always BE SAFE!

i gave money maby once.. but then saw him go in and get a pack of cigs and wass pissd and never gave again since he said that he needed money for a hotdog......

yesturday I was getting in my car and hussle man(thats the name of this begger that everyone in town has given something to) runs up to my car and starts trying to sell me a bag of shrimp! At least he offered something. But I dont like shrimp. So I said no thanks. Last time he offered to clean my wind shield and I said sure(even though the ink from the news paper made it even dirtier). At least hussle man is trying to work for it.

I offer to buy them some food or clothing.

These people are stuck living on the street, and despite what many people believe, most of them are not gonna better their situation with a shower and a shave. So why shouldn't they get a little buzz on to get 'em through the night?
