If You Can Walk, You can Work Asshole!

Well, Toon, I was barely at the job this morning when a dude hit me up. I gave him a buck. Not two fucking hours later, the same dude came by again.

I told him to fuck off. This is not a mentally or physically disabled dude. He is a fucking lazy scamming fuck.

That is what my OP is aiming at. I am not ragging on people with unseen disabilities. I am ragging on lazy fucks who won’t work.

Read the fucking OP dude! I said some people are down on their luck. That means for whatever fucking reason.

I am down on the able-bodied scamming assholes!
See the difference? Fuck!

Really? Geez…such reactionary measures do not surprise me…I wonder if he proposes the execution of beggars like they did in England many years ago…:frowning:

Holy shit! 20 bucks! Even a crack addict would take you up on that! It can buy a week of the drug! Shit man, what a class A idiot.

24

lol, there’s no such thing as a weeks worth of crack.

If you are mentally and physically present enough to walk around and ask people for money, you have the skillset to work at a job.

the problem is that often times people can make more money begging than they can at a job. Plus, they don’t have to work! :slight_smile:

25

Even a crack addict. I would say especially a crack addict. They need the money and they got tons of extra energy.

Yeah, that was a pretty callous thing to say. I was just expressing my empathy with the OP. Guess that was a pretty stupid way to put it.

I generally feel bad for homeless or “street people.” I once gave my shoes to a woman with a child who was apparently homeless. (I’d just bought a new pair and gave her the old ones, which happened to fit her.) I’ve given other handouts too many times to count…money, food, etc. I know that their illnesses and other circumstances prevent them from functioning and I take enough psychiatric drugs to be able to sympathize with that.

But I seriously always assumed that if you offered one of them a job of some type, they’d jump on the chance. I’m not sure what mental illness would have rendered this man unable to pick some stuff up off the ground.

Klaatu, I DO see your point. This guy was really just an able-bodied scammer, he ought to get his ass to a job, or be GRATEFUL that you offered him some work.

Who knows, if he’d worked very hard for you, he might have had a bit of cash work every day. His loss.

Sorry, man.

Klaatu, I understand your point. If they’re able to work but don’t want to when the opportunity to make an honest buck comes along, then fuck 'em.

I’m with you 100%.
