-- Nothing is quite like truly helping make someones life a little better...
 

all that and you're getting laid a lot more

If you were truly doing it for strangers, and not to just make yourself feel better, you wouldn't come bragging about it here.

Good deal, bro. You're a quality individual. Way too much girl stuff flowing through your veins sometimes but I love you anyway.

Who boasts about $40 and some old blankets? I read it as encouragement to others to do something nice for a stranger.

your a good man Red.

He's going to use the gift cards for booze.

You carry a breathalyzer with you? What did he blow?

simply red was my first "friend" here on CP.

virtual high-5, broseph!!

How is that bragging? STFU

How the **** did you come up with that conclusion?

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2013/11/20...-homelessness/ You wouldn't cut it as a Hawaii Rep... Stay up Mr. Red.

This kind of philosophy always pisses me off. It's okay to feel good for being kind to others. That good feeling that you chide, that's EMPATHY and without it we'd all be sociopaths. He's not "bragging." He's just feeling good about doing something that really helped somebody out, and he's proud of it. And he should be. And we'd all be better off if we had this kind of attitude, and less of yours. (read also: smarmy, fake, intellectualism)

If I was truly neg repping you on principle, and not just to make myself feel better, I wouldn't come bragging about it here.

Well done, RP.

I think it would provide some pretty good research if you could report on how he stretches his dollar with this gift? I mean, what food will he buy and such..how can he make it last the best?

What a douche.

Well played Red. :thumb:

I applaud you SR . Lots of people have thoughts of doing good but few actually take action. Good job !

Never trust a hobo.

I've been printing off applications in green ink to for mcdonalds and folding them into money size shapes so when bums ask me for Money they think they are getting a dollar bill but they are actually getting a chance to stop ****ing sucking ass.

Good job SR. We need more people like you in this world.

Nice job, man.

LMAO

I should do the same for you except instead of McDonald's applications.....they'll be funny jokes that I found on the internet.

mmmmm. 40 bucks worth of taquitos and QT vanilla cappuccino.

You did good, SR. You did real good.

QT has gift cards? I think that's one of the signs of the Apocalypse /Chris616

I feel so much better after listening to that for 0.0000001 seconds. Thanks.

First, bless you for your kindness.

Now, my anecdote. I had some stuff stolen from the back of my work truck. It was in a secure lot in downtown San Francisco, and I just forgot to move things into the construction trailer.

I lost a jacket, work boots, flashlight and a fall protection harness. I figured, "well some homeless guy will be dolled up tomorrow.

My gym was 2 blocks away and I walked past a blue homeless tent on the sidewalk that I never really noticed until about a week after my stuff was stolen. That day, the tent is ripped up and my harness is on the sidewalk and my flashlight is in the gutter. No sign of my jacket or boots. I can only conclude he got rolled for having stuff too nice and he wasn't big enough to keep them.

Here is wishing the guy is big enough or mean enough to keep those pillows and blankets you gave him. It was still the right thing to do no matter what.

Geez, can't a guy share his joy without being condemned. :banghead:

I remember when your schtick was funny. I have to strain but I vaguely remember.

Yup. Well, everybody deserves a Thanksgiving treat.

I remember that story you posted about buying a meal for a family at a restaurant. Always known you're a good guy.

TELL ME that is NOT a German Shepherd dog on the left. I would murder the guy that did that to a fine GSD dog. Murder him. :mad:

He's excited that he did a good deed and shared. I sincerely doubt he did it in hopes that his stockpile of internet cutsie points rose like the stock market.

Perhaps he did it as a challenge for others to do the same.

Lighten up.

I decided not to kill and eviscerate the man who chose to stand still in the middle of the people mover at DIA yesterday.

Does that count?

Depends totally on what DIA means.

LMAO

SR is pretty rad.

Ayn Rand would say that no one ever does anything out of a sense of true altruism. She'd say that even Mother Teresa did what she did to satisfy her own self interest. Then she'd probably call you a dickbag anyway.

nice deed....

....that said ...the spirit of giving doesn't come with qualifiers...wouldn't you agree?

Good work.

Now I'm leaving this thread because it's infected with the odor of Chris.

I've always believed that. My microecon teacher talked about that all the time.

I have done similar in a few instances. However don't give cash or gift cards if you want the reciever to buy food. Chances are he won't. Buy him food. Once a week buy him a hotdog for 40 weeks. Just saying bro. But I do absolutely love the kind spirit you are and where your intentions are.

Awesome deed!

I don't recall him mentioning that his act was purely altruistic.

We all gain some amount of personal satisfaction from helping others. This doesn't diminish the actual act. Bravo Zulu, SR!

P. S. I occasionally have similar ideas, but I just buy the man a meal so I have peace of mind that those dollars aren't directly being smoked, toked, intravenously injected, or converted to a cardboard box of Napa's finest. Yes, I do it to make myself feel better but the recipient of the meal doesn't seem to care.

It's a Short Haired Collie.

Literally, just started covering this in psychology.

You did a good thing, man. That's awesome.
