Sorry, I don't feel much sympathy for homeless people. They are homeless vagabonds because they CHOOSE to live that way.
The government provides programs, shelter and hot food for these folks just for the asking.
It must be nice to know EVERYTHING about everyones personal condition. Your callous and dismissive remarks do not exactly show the heart of a great guy.
I've been trying to understand and accept GOFISH and it is hard. THis reponse shows his true character. He will reap what he has sown. And one of these days when his business goes under maybe he will remember why people like me have chosen not to continue his prosperity...I will take my business elsewhere when someone can't even have sympathy for others.
BTW, just because someone is homeless, doesn't mean they don't always have a job. THey are not all mooches on government funds and the community -- they have hit a hard time in their life (which obviously GOFISH has never had to do) and are trying to dig their way out.
I don't understand the SA kicking this guy out for making a long distance phone call. Unless he was calling a 900 # for sex or something -- did they ask who he called or why before they did this?
Blues thank you for trying to help this man -- Like others I am female and would not feel comfortable helping a man alone...but I have helped females in dire straits before -- I guess we all have our opportunities. I also don't blame you for not taking him in. I would have considered paying for a motel room for the night (not giving him cash money but paying for the room only in person) or something similar, but I think you will still be rewarded for your efforts...
