When i was getting sushi on sat
with Dekor...
so the other day i was down town eating sushi and this homeless comes into the sushi place and asked me to buy him food....i was like "i haven't any money" and he was like "don't lie, you have 39.52...and i was like "yer right, i do have money, but i am not buying you food" and he was like "well i hate being lied to, why don't u just say "i'm too sleasy to buy you food" so i flat out said to him "I'm too sleasey to buy you food" it was really funny ~dalyn

Not to be nasty or anything Dalyn, but that wasn't very nice of you!
I mean, it's one thing for him to be out on the street begging for drug money, and it's another for him to be genuinely hungry and just wanting a meal. I would have bought him some food. Last edited by galaxie; Jan 18, 05 at 10:17 AM.

^^^its not that easy. i pass by at least one bum a day askin me for money for food. i dont have that big of a bank account to walk a bum into mcdonalds and ask him nicely what number meal he wants. maybe once in a blue moon.. but its not as easy as it sounds.

When beggers become that agressive I tell them staight up that I need my money and dont have alot to give away. Ill vote NDP(or who ever feels the homeless need a break) give to the food bank, and give you respect as a person. If there still bothersom I simply expalin there being rude and try to walk away.

ok 15 min just past from my last post. i feel absolutely horrible like im a badbad human being. am i the only one that feels that way? ive learned to just block them out. most of the time when im outside i have places to go and time usually runs out too quickly.. maybe ill be late for my plans one day and pick a bum to bring to mcdonalds to enjoy a delicious cheeseburger with me... maybe....
hmmm i thought donating a lot to the food bank each year would make this feeling go away..now i feel obligated to take a bum out for food sometime soon. hmmm..

I'm the type of person that would hafta give to every begging person if I give to one, and I really can't afford that. I made a HUGE contribution to the food bank via MOSS this year, and I feel good about that. I really can't afford to do stuff like that all the time, but when I can I do. I feel horribly sad and depressed when I see homeless or begging persons d/t or other places... It breaks my heart that I have so much and they have so little. But aside from donating to charities when I have fund available, I really don't have the time or energy to do anything more.

I realize that it happens, but if I was a shop owner I'd have him back outta my Store unless he was a legit Customer. When they start going into businesses and harassing Customers that is where you have to draw the line. If they come into a Shop while I'm shopping they won't get shit from me. On the street, sure, I'll give once in awhile. Usually when I'm overly inebriated (A TIP TO ALL YOU BUMS OUT THERE)... other than that I donate to TB Vets and Surrey Firefighters and The Legion.

i do give money sometimes when i have it....but not when someone comes into a place of business like erik said....its not right.....even tho the place was sooo jap they probably wouldn't have been able to get him out anyways....he left after i was mean to him. but i agree with bev...there are food bank and salvation army place all over the east side...and some down town.....and i do donate money when i can. so don't feel bad bev. i don't agree with poeple encrouching on me into resturants and asking for money or food. ~dalyn

he could be like that lady in toronto who drives to 'work' in her 2001 jetta, lives in a $330 000 house in a neighbourhood where the average house is $250 000.
panhandling when she's worth more then the people who are giving her money.
