Give to the poor?

I approve.

Gaming doesn't leave track marks.

That's the only reason to play video games.

The guy said if he couldn't get liquor that he didn't want to leave his corner. Since then I don't help anyone who begs.

Either your uncle is a liar or that guy was batshit insane. He could have filled the cart up with a ton of expensive shit and then sold it or traded it for booze.

I'm leaning towards liar btw.

I haven't read the entire thread, but I agree with the majority in that I never give to the homeless. Even if the motherfuckers were starving, they should take some action instead of standing on the side of the high way.

On a similar note, one time when I was walking out of the gym, a frantic black lady (yes, that is a necesary detail) came up to me asking if I had any money because her daughter was trapped up in Seattle and she needed to go get her... or something. I kindly gave her what was in my change tray (maybe $8?) and she ran off.

A few months later I was at the bank (which is in the same strip mall as the gym) walking back to my vehicle when the same frantic black lady jumps out and tells me her daughter is in dire need of an inhaler and she doesn't have any money, yadda da, you get the idea. I told her to fuck off.

They should stop being lazy and get back to work.

I remember one time when I was in New York, my girlfriend, a friend and I just got finished eating at some restaurant when we passed this guy with a sign saying that he was hungry and shit. So we offer him our leftovers and the douche fucking refused! I'm like you are so fucking hungry but you don't want the food?! I took my delicious food and continued on my way...

That's funny because the same shit happen to me, but a different story. She said she was in a homeless shelter and it burnt down and what not. First time I saw here was in Detroit as I was walking out of a Blockbuster at a strip mall. The second time was in Royal Oak, whick is a suburb of Detroit that is far from where I first saw her and she gave me the same sob story were I told her to fuck off...

Fuck I got another one... My girlfriend and her ex boyfriend were in Ann Arbor(those who are college football fans should already know...) and some guy comes up to them saying he has to get back to detroit can he get some money to do so. My girlfriend is like we are from detroit why don't we give you a lift. Of course he declined...
