Gotta love the hypocrites in this community. Announcing the good deeds they have -supposedly- done to get others congrats and admiration which are quite possibly just as fake. I helped so called homeless and alike in my time and more than once but never had a reason to post it online, annoncing them to others, what was the main motive of this thread I wonder? To insult and unfairly judge the people living in a community/city or to brag about the good deeds you had done which in reality is nothing more than a normal act of kindness?
Nana, you are right, I don't live in Scottsdale but from what you told, it is fair to say entire Scottsdale people are ignorant and are not compassionate, oh by the way, where do you reside?
May be next time you should tell the entire story instead of keeping some critical details out of it which could have prevented some of our comments.
Something is very wrong with me? So easy to attack me just because I stated a few of my opinions or concerns and all of a sudden I am a heatless prick, I am what is wrong with this country? You are so quick to dismiss me and insult me, hard to believe this is the same person that helped a bum...err, a homeless who was laying out cold on the side walk.
Salesbaby, easy with your attacks, I state my opinions and brought up a few general questions that came to my mind, aswer them or spare me your uncalled negative feedback, ok?
A homeless with a beer bottle is a BUM, end of story. I am not going to analyze how he eneded up there or try to think of a sad possibility and come up with inaccurate conclusions. I never made my comments on ALL homeless people, I was simply directing my comments to the ones that were alike.
You got means to obtain beer, then you should be able to obtain water, etc.
Those who are attacking me, have you ever been homeless? No job, no home to live in, no food or $$ in your pocket?
I have! Less than 2 decades ago, first year in the country due to major health and financial problems in the family, I dropped out of school, and since I had no job or saved money, I was pretty much out on the street.
Found a job cleaning up a motorcycle repair shop, slept in a near by park before the owner felt bad yet trusted me enough to let me sleep in the office section on the floor. Weeks later I save enough money to buy a pos late 70s model Ford Thunderbird from one of the mechanics for about $300. I finally had wheels and a more comfortable place to sleep; the backseat. A fe weeks later I got myself a room in a house and lived with roommates. Was I drinking, smoking or doing drugs because life handed me a set of crappy cards or did I work hard to get back on my feet with little to no help from others?
6 years after all that, I was in CA and working in Mortgage Field making decent money and owned my first brand new car ('98 Chevy Malibu). I had A+ credit and still do....when I was like 9-10 we were camping during our Summer vacation and I met a kid my age who had a homeless family, guess who secretly carried food to them during the course of our stay there....and many other incident that I don't even care to remember but you know what I am what's wrong with this society today, being a heartless prick and all....
Bunch of hypocrites...
PS. This is besides the point or the actual issue but if you really are 1-2 paychecks away from being homeless, then you really shouldn't worry about others so much.
