that and don't care

2018-10-03 13:38:33 UTC  

My sister has works at a food distribution charity. She has told me that some people are incredibly ungrateful.

2018-10-03 13:38:49 UTC  

you'd be impressed how picky poor people are

2018-10-03 13:38:55 UTC  

/r/choosingbeggars is a fun sub

2018-10-03 13:39:55 UTC  

Well, that’s definitely true. I have met some incredibly grateful poor people. They actually understand humility and don’t complain that they are getting more canned green beans.

2018-10-03 13:40:12 UTC  

aye

2018-10-03 13:40:21 UTC  

I've given some money here and there to some people who asked

2018-10-03 13:40:32 UTC  

Some people are really grateful

2018-10-03 13:40:41 UTC  

others just kinda give you the same spiel

2018-10-03 13:40:53 UTC  

I was driving with my mom one time

2018-10-03 13:40:59 UTC  

this woman was begging on the side of the road

2018-10-03 13:41:10 UTC  

we stopped at a gas station right next to the highway exit

2018-10-03 13:41:20 UTC  

after we were done we saw her coming out of the store with scratch offs

2018-10-03 13:41:25 UTC  

like jesus christ

2018-10-03 13:41:56 UTC  

my dad met a guy in new york who's job was literally begging on the streets

2018-10-03 13:42:17 UTC  

he'd go out, put on nasty clothes, beg on the street, stop for the day, put on a suit and tie and go home to his wife and kids

2018-10-03 13:42:40 UTC  

people like to complain about capitalism and corporate greed and yes no doubt that's an issue

2018-10-03 13:43:05 UTC  

but this taking culture we have, where people just expect handouts to fuel their desires and not their needs is ridiculous too

2018-10-03 13:44:54 UTC  

Where I grew up, I saw a guy in the city who had a cane and acted like he couldn’t walk. I then saw him turn a corner further down the street and run up a hill. I was really young, like 7 or 8, when I saw that. To this day I’m very skeptical about beggars. I want to help, but I can’t shake the assumption that they may be faking it.

2018-10-03 13:45:08 UTC  

if i had a surplus of money

2018-10-03 13:45:12 UTC  

i'd probably do it more often

2018-10-03 13:45:17 UTC  

but at the moment i'm struggling myself

2018-10-03 13:45:24 UTC  

i'm not giving you money just because i have a car and you don't

2018-10-03 13:45:51 UTC  

just because i have a job and scrape enough by to have a car, go out to eat once a month does not mean that you are entitled to my money because you can't

2018-10-03 13:46:27 UTC  

And let's be fair, some people are literally unable to work, and that's sad, but a lot of people simply don't want to

2018-10-03 13:46:42 UTC  

Yeah. I understand. I’m a little bit better off, so I can afford it some. I’d rather do other things where I know that the money and my time get used wisely.

2018-10-03 13:47:18 UTC  

i'd like to think if i had bill gates level of money i would finance all sorts of homeless shelters, but then i remember people who just abuse them

2018-10-03 13:47:37 UTC  

i don't want to satisfy your prefferred lifestyle

2018-10-03 13:47:41 UTC  

i want to help you earn it

2018-10-03 13:49:28 UTC  

I personally think that local church’s should step in more with homelessness. They can screen people way more effectively and there is ample space for it. Oh course, the concern is about safety. I think we should open mental asylums again. That would help too.

2018-10-03 13:52:11 UTC  

The thing about Jesus is that the left has no intention on advocating that you follow jesus

2018-10-03 13:52:56 UTC  

it's more about the fact that they are distorting his teachings and using them as a club to beat his followers with

2018-10-03 13:53:06 UTC  

Yes. I totally agree.

2018-10-03 13:54:07 UTC  

>oh, you follow jesus, you can't be a christian, though, because you don't support social programs x, y, and z. I'm so much better than you because I think Jesus was a cock, and I follow his teachings better than you do

2018-10-03 13:54:26 UTC  

You could somewhat describe me as an evangelical Christian. I completely understand the deceit that comes from them.

2018-10-03 13:55:13 UTC  

the left really loves that Trump is president because Trump is an adulterer, and the churchy types were so against adultery for so long

2018-10-03 13:55:29 UTC  

I......actually don't know where the left stands on that anymore though

2018-10-03 13:57:31 UTC  

I am not an evangelical Christian...most would describe me as a Gnostic

2018-10-03 13:57:47 UTC  

Yeah, whenever I see someone saying ‘oh you can’t support Trump because he’s an adulterer’, I retort back and say ‘you wanted my Christian conservative values out of politics, you got it, quit complaining’.

2018-10-03 13:57:55 UTC  

not "agnostic", an actual gnostic

2018-10-03 13:58:08 UTC  

Ok.
