From the a Mpls,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. officer once following a "homeless woman" who had been panhandling --- to her nice home and becoming into her newer car,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. There are way so many of those scams going on and so many of liberals will not admit into it ,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]!! They discover the one exception and dwell on it forever,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]! Usually the one exception has a background of substance abuse or mental illness,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Anyone who thinks there is not tremendous need "out there" these days continues to be residing in bubble that belongs to them creation. There are grifters and manipulators in every stratum of society as well as on every economic level. Do the Bernie Madoffs and Ken Lays of the world mean that most of the wildly successful,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], wealthy business people are merely crooks and manipulators? I would bet the statistics/ratios are pretty similar from the quantity of crooks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], liars and manipulators in the corporate world and people who are probably the indigent-poor and working-poor who are on some type of government assistance. "Buckhunter" - you have to remove the "world-in-black-and-white" glasses. You don't have to placed on the "rose-colored" glasses of a "leftie liberal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," but just need to visit the planet for which it's: not every successful person got there honestly,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and never everyone who needs help is simply a bum looking for an easy handout. The media has a tendency to highlight those rare instances of the one who is dressed in rags and begging who then walk to some decent car and drive for their middle-class house. Most of those individuals begging actually shuffle off under some bridge for the night. It is intellectually dishonest to extrapolate those instances into "everyone on public aid of any sort is really a bum/drug addict searching for a free ride." If they have a mental illness or addiction,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], even more reason that "we" - collectively as a society - should help them. I think the worst thing you can do for somebody panhandling would be to give them money. If you wish to walk them to a restaurant and buy them a meal - that's fine, but even I'm not wanting to do that. The advisable thing is to support charitable organizations that help them - and to possess a better attitude about government programs which help those in need.

I'm inclined to agree with the second,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. Let's just say anyone voluntarily wandering around barefoot in Times Square in the dead of winter isn't exactly getting mental health awards,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. What's sad would be that the man would potentially sacrifice his feet to sell the boots for a little cash,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. |
