There are people here in Tulsa that are well known to do that. People have seen them park their 40,000 dollar SUVs a couple blocks from the interstate exit where they stand with a sign all day.

Last winter, on a pretty cold day in November, there was a bum outside my old work begging in a sweater...odd because in my city of nearly 60,000 people, you might only see a bum begging twice a year.
Anyway, I gave him $2, and by the end of the work day about 4 hours later he's still outside, but was in clean, new, warm jacket. He must have went into the discount used clothes store beside my work and bought himself a jacket, after amassing probably $20 in change all day. Felt pretty good about it, especially because I figured my money was going towards drugs/alcohol. |

Serious story, yeah I know, it's HogFarmer. But back when I was a youngster I remember my mom taking a homeless guy, she visited with him for a while and I guess she felt he just needed a break. She was influential in the community ,used to be campaign manager or Bob Dole when he was Kansas senator.
Anyway she took this guy, got him an apartment and lined him up a job with a local business and turned him loose. Don't know what happened to him afterwards but that impressed me and probably had some influence on the way I live my life now. |

I don't give money to them because I don't support failure.

buddy of mine and i were eating at kfc last week. we were pretty much finished up and getting ready to leave, all of a sudden this dude was up on us.
said something about having a rough time. needed a ride just a few blocks and/or maybe some money. i was in my work truck (and blue collared work shirt). told him that i couldn't give rides in a company vehicle....he then asked for money again. i then said that i only had a debit card. he walked away mumbling something. as he walked through the restaurant across the street to the next restaurant. i did truly feel bad for him. but i did notice one thing. he was dressed extremely nice. like a pressed collared shirt, and dress pants. thought that was odd, but i feel that i did the right thing.

Obama Voters are everywhere these days. I try to help when I can. If I was at McD's for a breakfast, Ill be damned if I could look down on anybody. Gettin low when you are eating that shit and can belittle those less fortunate.

Most of them want to be hobos. To many of them it's an honor.

I told the last guy that hit me up in a Wal-mart parking lot for money that he could expand his business exponentially if he got a portable credit card reader. Nobody uses cash anymore. He got pissed and asked me if I at least had a quarter. I laughed and kept walking.

After dealing with these people for two years when I was working downtown, I have no sympathy for any of them. They don't have any ****ing respect for anyone or their property.
