Babe in a Bunker User ID: 239923 United States 05/22/2007 10:14 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Thank you for the story. I did something similar a few years ago and it backfired on me. Homeless guy at Taco bell only had enough money to get a small drink. I bought him a couple of things to eat and sat with him outside. The first thing that happened was that while I was buying him food, this jackass behind me started bitching at me that the guy was probably a drug addict. I ignored him. Then, while I was outside eating, the manager came storming out with a broom and told us both to leave or he was going to call the police. Suprisingly, I wasn't in the mood to argue, so I left, but not before I made sure the homelss guy had his food to take with him. The manager said I was a stupid bitch for feeding him. I truly can't stand people sometimes. Well it seems so real I can see it And it seems so real I can feel it And it seems so real I can taste it And it seems so real I can hear it So why can't I touch it? So why can't I touch it?

SpectrumBlue User ID: 181546 United States 05/22/2007 10:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This is a good story. People need hope in their lives. We need the reminder that someone above also loves us. What we go through here on earth is simply a water drop in the ocean compared to the rest of all eternity. Understand that and you can understand why we suffer. Dreams will begin as they fade into chaos. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 216848Not, because she make it on anonymous way...and because it give us a moment of reflection, so her story was helpful at least for me. Enki was the real engineer of the human race. He was the Sumerian god of science, engineering, magic, strategy, music, and lovemaking |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 3446 United States 05/23/2007 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK OK OK...hang the hell on. What exactly is UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE?!?!?!?! What the fuck does that mean? I'm to UNCONDITIONALLY ACCEPT a robber in my home? Or accept a child molester because he's just "lost"? Give me a fucking break. This happy clap trap tree hugging dreck ABSOLUTELY drives me fucking nuts. All this is is an attempt to help you "feel good". It probably never fucking happened. My experiences with homeless have been 100 FUCKING percent negative. You know why? Because they're lazy, and they EXPECT a handout. It's a bunch of shit. I WORK. I WORK HARD. And I'm supposed to "unconditionally accept" this and give BECAUSE they're homeless? No...no I'm not. I give to charity, and even THEN, I am cynical because you don't REALLY know what they do with the money (think United Way a few years back...and think Red Cross during 9-11, those fucking greedy loser scumfucks). jeeeeeeeeeeeez...I hate this crap. |
OP (OP) User ID: 235944 United States 05/23/2007 01:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | to tell my truth, i'd rather give to some homeless people than united way. at least they'll get it w/o the giant middleman and associated scandels. i handed $10 to a guy and woman outside a takeout place the other day. he was polite and quiet. i didn't care what they did with the money. you know what they did? they went in and got a meal and said thanks. |

ºEATº User ID: 230941 Canada 05/23/2007 01:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My college professor told us to smile at 3 strangers and see how they reacted. He said that our smiles were a powerful force in the world. I left class and thought about who I should smile at. I saw an old man with beautiful blue eyes sitting on a park bench. I approached him with a big smile and said "Can I offer you a coffee?" He looked back at me with a warm smile and said yes. We sat for awhile drinking coffee together. He turned and said to me "This coffee went right thru me, I must go to the bathroom now... I'll be right back". So the old man got up and crossed the street to go to the bathroom. As he was crossing the street he was struck my a bus and died instantly. I ran over to the dead old man in horror. As I leaned over the old man a crowd gathered around us. "Hey, are you the one who gave this old man that coffee?" said a young woman in a wheelchair. "Yes', I replied. "That sure was a nice thing you did for him" the woman said. Then everyone started to hug me and thank me for giving the old man the coffee and taking the time to chat with him. As we were standing in a group hug in the middle of the road a speeding car drove by and hit the young woman in the wheelchair. I ran over to her and picked her up off the ground. With her last breath she said to me "You better get off this street, the traffic is nuts". -An EAT original Coffee in the morning. Tea in the afternoon. |
