that was nice.

that was nice.
i would've helped a friend too. and i would do volunteering in different organisations.
but i'm not going to give my hard earned money, just to anyone on the street without some solid reason.0 -

Heineken Helen wrote:fair enough... but how did your boyfriend cope when he DID arrive here homeless and on the streets? He must have been getting money from somewhere. You NEED money to survive.
and there is no need for you to point this out to me.
huh, i've just remembered my trip to France, one begger in there was coming up to the tables ( outside of cafe area ) and was asking for money! how rude!
why should i feel obliged to give someone money?
obviously saint Helen will always help anyone0 -
Heineken Helen wrote:So because your airwaves are dominated by assholes who CALL themselves christians, it's ok to group the rest of them, who probably ARE living nice simple helpful lives, into the same group?
it's ok to mistrust the rest of them until they give us reason to believe they are different from what we see most often.0 -

Heineken Helen wrote:Yes, I'm living ok... I was homeless cos I locked myself out. I had to try and sleep in a bus shelter on the coldest night of the year until I found somebodys garage and some carpet to keep me warmISH. The following day, I got hold of my sister and it was all ok... it's not like I had to go to the job agency and the housing people whilst trying to find a hostel every night also and find money to feed myself with.
How homeless? Was he sleeping on the street?
locking yourself out of your house does not make you homeless. jesus christ. you're as bad as onelong song.
i got locked out of my hostel in amsterdam and slept on the street. then i spent 2 nights in dublin too broke for a hostel. i slept in the airport and on the street at the bus stop. somebody tried to rob me and the next guy tried to give me money. but i was NOT homeless. being too drunk to remember your key is not the same as being homeless.0 -
Heineken Helen wrote:I apologise cos this is obviously an issue... all I'm saying is religion or not, if you have experience or know someone who has been homeless I can't understand why you are so against giving money. I'm not judging you, I'm not trying to be rude, I'm just asking! So please stop taking it personally!
And obviously you're not obliged... I don't give money to every homeless person I see, I can't afford to... but when I can I do
i didn't say you were rude, i said the french begger was rude not you0 -

i was going to comment on that one too, but then i thought nah, i'll leave it as it is. because term "homeless" can be used quite literally against me.
but anyway i agree with you.0 -

Heineken Helen wrote::rolleyes: Oh for fuck sake! I had nowhere to sleep for a night, nobody to help me out, no money, no food, no phone, nothing... sleeping in a bus shelter and then a garage. I didn't realise that you have to be completely destitute... OR that it has to be a long term thing for it to count as homeless. Considering that it WAS the coldest night of the year, every fucking second was spent thinking about those who have to do that every night... sure they may have SOME kinda bedding... and they may be used to it... but there was absolutely nothing enjoyable whatsoever about it.
no, what you need to be considered homeless is to be homeLESS. now, i know analytical skills are not your strong suit, but bear with me.... home-less. less a home. without a home. you had a home, you were just too fucking piss wasted to remember how to get your drunk ass in the door. i've no doubt it gave you a great amount of sympathy for the truly homeless, but by no means were you EVER homeless, you just spent a night on the street. to claim you really know what it's like to be homeless is a crock of shit, which is quite in keeping with the way you somehow have personal experience with every topic that comes up in any debate.0 -
Heineken Helen wrote:How do you two figure it's different? Soulsinging said someone tried to rob him, someone tried to give him money, he slept at a bus stop... just because he didn't have the ADDED pain of knowing he's gonna have to do it the next night and the night after that indefinitely, doesn't make him homeless
sounds pretty much what being homeless is like to me.
well, Soulsinging is here now he will have lot's of time to explain to you. i'll let him do all the work, whilst i can go and spend some time on new exciting topics0 -

If it makes you happy (even though I WAS without home for one night) I wasn't homeless, but I WAS on the street :rolleyes: and YOU'RE the one making it a bigger issue than it was... I said I didn't feel the ADDED problems of knowing I'd have to do it again and again and that I didn't have a job or anyone to help... and it was STILL WITHOUT A DOUBT the worst night of my life... so yeh, I CAN fucking IMAGINE what they have to go through night after night after night... so go fucking stalk somebody else for once and stop worry about the homeless :rolleyes: It gets boring listening to you give the same argument for different topics
