He sat next to me on the busstop bench and he look like he'd been crying for a long time because his eyes were all red, puffy, and teary.
Well, he looked at me, and I said, "Hello." He sat down, and we just chatted for about 10 minutes while waiting for the bus. Not about anything important. Just basic bullshit, the weather, favorite music, movies, blah blah blah...well when the bus came, he asked me if I had a quarter to spare. I gave him a $5 dollar bill.
His smile was anough to make it worth it. I don't think anyone had been that nice to him in years.
I feel good about that. That is all.

awww. that really makes me want to go and be charitable. that was such a nice thing to do, i bet you made his day because he had enought to buy something to eat.
so kind............................... ..........got a quarter?
(a quarter is 25c right?)
psh, once i gave a bum like 10 bucks cuz me and my bassist were just writting a song about hobos so as we were finalizing it we went around the corner to get sodas and take a break, i ran into a hobo and felt obligated to give him all the money in my pocket, minus a dollar for a soda.

Ok, so how hard is it for this guy to go get a job at McDonald's and make his own damn money. I'm 16 and I can get my own damn job, and i sure as hell wouldnt waste it on someone who's on the street, maybe not for drugs, but he has a reason. He didnt just fall from the sky and land as a homeless person. Next time you see this guy, ask him how he got to where he is.

He didn;t speak very good English for one, and secondly, the man doesn;t have a home. Most people don't hire smelly people who don;t have showers to bathe in.
I'm 16 and I can get my own damn job, and i sure as hell wouldnt waste it on someone who's on the street,What would you rather waste it on? Something that won't mean shit after a week or two?
maybe not for drugs, but he has a reason.
Yeah I'm sure he does have a reason, but I don't know it and neitherdo you. So who the hell do you think you are to judge him for being who and what he is. You need to grow up fast and look around once in a while. Put yourself in his shoes for just a moment. It can happen to anyone for any reason. Get your karma straight or it may happen to you.
He didnt just fall from the sky and land as a homeless person.
No, but he did come out of nowhere with tears in his eyes in need of a friend, if only for a moment. I'll rest easily tonight knowing that I helped someone in need. How cozy is it in your bed being a cold-hearted, greedy bitch?
Next time you see this guy, ask him how he got to where he is. No. Next time I see him I'm going to say hello and ask how he's been. His personal life is none of my business and I have no right to ask him about it.

I was just returning his favor of being an insensitive and flat-out insulting. He felt the need to personally attack me for what I did...so I stooped to his level.
Maybe now he can rise up to mine and kiss my ass. ;)
I also never claimed to give a shit about everyone. I could give 3 shits about half the world. I just wanted to share a moment of contentment with everyone and tell why.
You lot need to cal mthe fuck down and just learn how to accept something for what it is and not be so damned judgemental.

then how come the entire mid west is republican. because they are farmers. and farmers work HARD for their money. They arent rich, but they know the value of a dollar. California however is chalk full of Democrats, due to the high population of actors/aspiring actors. None of them do any REAL work. Besides Arnold and Bruce Willis, name some conservative hollywood stars....cant think of any? Thats right, because they dont work for their money, meaning they dont know the value of a dollar really. So what you said is rich=republican isnt all that correct. Farmers arent loaded, but they are republicans. Actors are loaded, but they are democrats. So what you mean to say is...
Republicans= hard working
Democrats= lazy people who dont know the definition of REAL work

There are more Democrats in California because of a little thing called EDUCATION. Education on the whole, leads to more liberal views of the world. Maybe the people in the midwest work really hard for a living, because like you, they don't have the brain capacity to READ A FUCKING BOOK AND LEARN ANYTHING!

when you watch a presidential election you can see what areas are conservative and which are liberal. the west coast is always blue (except when reagan ran) and blue shows a majority of democratic votes. the east coast is blue. and the midwest is ALWAYS red, red being a republican vote. So when i said all of the midwest is conservative, I dont mean every soul, becuase thats damn near impossible to account for, I mean every midwestern state

Nephilm that was about the dumbest comment you've ever made, just look at the morons you people in cal. elect to govern you. If anything the dumber you the more liberal you are, because you stop thinking for your self and allow gov. to run your life. Why are the poorest in this country almostly always democrats? Because they look to the goverment for hand outs and leadership, instead of looking to themselves for these things. Why if Californians are so smart that they elect corrupt leaders that bankrupt there state? But yet conervative states like CO are able to make a surplus even in a downturn economy? Also reading books doesn't make you smart, being able to use what you have read and judge on it for your self is what makes you smart. Many educational figures have book smarts but they lack the ability to use the knowledge on there own, and can't rationalize topics between what they have read and what the real world will allow to take place. Real life experience leads to intelligence not books, that is why, and "real life" experences is something that is severally missing from life in Cal.

But age normally leads to conservative views, so the more "life" a person experiences the more conservative they are. Thats why most teens that are ultra liberal now, will be more conservative or more in the middle of the political spectrum when they start to experiences the real world and have a family of there own.
Education doesn't lead to liberalism, just cause you see this on a college campus doesn't make it so, Professors live very sheltered lives and don't have to live with the same things that normally happen to people in the real world, so there liberal ideas are never tested, so they have no reason to believe other wise.

I think your generalization about catholics might be a little off. I go to a catholic school and I am one of the few non republicans. Catholics are typically pro-choice, and since thats part of the republican platform, most catholics tend to be republican (at least in my part of the midwest.)

they used to be mean, like, 40 years ago. When my dad was young, the nuns would make him cry. He was like, 9 years old. Now it is different. I used to want to go to public school, but, at least at the school I go to, its small, and theres a huge sense of community. Its an all-girls school, and theres a boys' school right next door. My bro went to the boys school, and so did all my uncles, and my aunts went to my school. its a legacy thing, and everyone gets along well, so I think I'm sending my kids to private school once I have them. I hear horror stories about public school.

Farmers are not mostly Democrats, there mostly Republicans, that is why in most rural areas there isn't even a Democrat on the ballot for local and state elections.

I live in KANSAS as my ID says, thats about as midwest as it gets.
First check local poltics, then check state politics, then check who gore or bush won most, if not all, of the midwestern state, and see what party normally wins in these states, or at least in the rural parts of these states.

Bush won in my state, and in my county, I admit, I was wrong. It was close according to the source I found (46%-54%).
About people thinking Catholics vote Republican because of Pro-Life, you would think so, but the ones I know (my family is Catholic) vote straight Democrat.
I apologize, this all started with a poor generalization on my part.

I am originally from Kentucky. Where IN, IL, and KY come together, I am from that county in KY. Now I go to a small college in Indiana, just north of my hometown.
Glad, everything is cool, I am new here and I don't want to piss people off. People are agitated very easily here, or so I have noticed.

46-54 is not a close vote. A 40/60 is considered a landslide victory. I know it sounds close, but just letting you know that it isnt. And Catholics TEND to be republicans due to pro life, yes. But again thats not the entire reason. Catholics are religious obviously and conservative beliefs are tied in closely with Christian beliefs, which would make a Catholic lean towards the right side.

I think Catholics vote Democrat for other reasons. Again, the ones I know, vote Democrat because they believe Democrats have other good points (not sure which ones they have) and those outweigh Pro-Life. Again, I am speaking of the ones I know personally.
My Granddad held a political position as Democrat and he is a devote Catholic.

I have, one of my comments was taken seriously, it was dripping with sarcasm. Sarcasm is hard to convey in text.

rich=fucking bull shit republican
Your opinions dont make facts jackass, check the voting records from the last election and you will see that ALL MOST ALL SERVICE MEN VOTE REPUBLICAN, that is why GORE tried to have some of the overseas ballots thrown out becaue he knew who the votes were for.
Also why don't you check out the wealth of some of your democratic congress men and just see how poor they are.
God, you are a fuck idiot, What do you think if you continue to write this FACTLESS bullshit it might become true?
