There is a homeless woman sleeping in the post office.

I'm so impressed with your big words! :tisk: No one was belittling you. Atleast I wasn't. I'm actually one of those people that give homeless people money and food. I know that most of the time it isn't really helping, but I feel like I am.
Stop getting so defensive and have some fun on here dude! :biggrin:

First, people simply want you to use better spelling and sentence structure because it makes it easier to read and "understand your point".

Here's a perfect example:

Office worker walks into a bathroom and finds a clogged/flooded toilet and send an email to the Building Service department.
Building services replies with one of the following:

"No problem. Well, clean it up."
or
"No problem, We'll clean it up"

Same words, same letters, but completely different meanings.

And here's where you make everyone's point about the typical homeless person for them. Your homelessness was not of your doing, but the result of your parent/guardian's actions AND had someone given then $20 what would have happened?
1) Food for everyone?
2) Alcohol or drugs for them?

You've already stated what was the most important to her.

Anyone that thinks it's funny someone is homeless or that ALL homeless people are the same is stupid. So if you're trying to correct "that person", you've fighting a big battle. Because stupid is hard to fix.

Glad to hear you're in a much better place now.

I agree with bex on this one... Animals are great companions, in prison people often keep mice.. because when youve got nothing but time to kill... it helps..

One summer I took a homeless man to dinner every day for 9 weeks, we built a relationship upon it, and I wont forget him or where he hangs out (5th ave and 10th st)...


Many of "us" (generic term for the 20-30s generation) take for granted things we never saw... No one thinks about how someone GOT homeless, just that they are homeless...

I am not one to speak fondly of US military, but I know many many many homeless people are vietnam veterans who came back so screwed up they couldnt get back into regular life... (40 yrs ago, they would have shoved a rifle in Nala's hands and sent him into the jungle.. what happens when they get home)

And to the youngsters who dont know any better saying "just get a job at the supermarket", it is evident you dont know how things go in an interview when you arent clean shaven and dont have a permanent address or a contact number.

Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines are still being blown to pieces... PTSD still exists as well. It's not normally the violent outrage that is so stereotyped though.

The only difference a draft would cause is you'd have more people going to war that didn't volunteer to do so. The traumatization one would receive from watching a friend get blown to pieces still exists. I would link to some videos, but I'm pretty sure it would start a political debate.. There's a reason we do 'brain scans' before and after deployments to monitor for ptsd now. Having an operations MOS, I've seen what some people go through, first hand. Either way, I'm not going to argue this. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

i understand what your saying...all soldiers will go throu some kind of pdsd...but todays modern warfare relys mainly on technology ...its nothing like it was back in vietnam or ww@ or better yet WW1..commanders only had men to throu at the conflics mainly...it was a body count type of warfare..those with the most men at the end were the winners...even so...ALL our men and women who fight for us..do deserve our respect and admeration for the sacrifce they make for our freedom...and not just on memorial day...everyday....the main reason i remeber those from vietnam and ww2 on memorial day...is becouse i think they are more or less forgotten by todays youth...without the sacrifice of these men..we would ither be speeking german or under comunist rule...thank god for our soldiers!
