View Full Version : Do homeless people deserve iPhones?

...or any modern luxury that the rest of us are privy to, for that matter?
Or is this guy a jealous iPhone geek, a disapproving Android nerd, or just downright racist?

If you give money to a panhandler (I don't), who are you to say how they spend it?
Still chortling away at the intense description.
Other: vacant stare.

its diquesuckerish to assume there is any difference between drug dependence (alcohol) and an iphone.
we learned about dopamine destroyers and dopamine programmers a long time ago from Dr. Sam Hydiccus the 2358th please act accordingly and DELETE this UNNECESSARY thread
wish i was being facetious in one of those sentences somewhere, but nope every word is meant to be taken seriously and acted upon.
Case in point, have you ever taken someones cocaine away or possibly have been found to be withholding it? The reaction is the exact same if you take their phone away. how are you going to judge which vices they use? vice use and vice balance are every part of being American.

It's his money.
Support local homeless charities if you want the homeless to be given a decent breakfast, assistance in finding work/housing and learning key day to day skills for household budgeting, counselling and so on.

I don't care if that guy got an iphone and voted accordingly. I try to pass on a few bucks to anyone I see who might really need it. Yeah there's a possibility the guy is a scammer. Yeah he might need it for drugs or alcohol. He might be scamming for drugs or alcohol. The possibility my spare cash might seriously help someone out for a day outweighs any of that. They usually pay me back by sharing their story, which I hope doubles as knock off therapy. The world sucks and I try desperately to make it suck less temporarily for the people I run into.

Homeless people deserve a home, so the question is moot.

People don't deserve anything, regardless of if they're homeless or not. You want something, you need to work for it. God damn commie bastard.

Cell phones are the devil incarnate.
This technological affliction is destroying the natural manner in which humans were born to communicate and socialize with one another.
Whether or not humans as a whole deserve it or not, is an entirely different question.
One could argue we do in fact "reap what we sow." I can see the other side of it too, though.

We're never going to get anywhere in this fucking society if we continue everyone pay up front for everything. Engage in this thought exercise.
Your a pimp. Your mom was some black crack whore who didn't know your dad's name. So you hate women and you have no support or money in life. So you decide to pimp.
Now if you decided to demand a women provide all her own cloths, sexual prowess, and cosmetics up front...your not going to get anywhere are you? Your not in the business of recruiting already successful whores -- because they aren't interested in you. Your in the business of making whores. Your nice up front to run-aways and provide them the necessities of life. Then the whore training begins -- with a healthy dose of authoritarianism they technically signed up for. Finally she is ready for business.
And that's what America is, a pimp in the business of making whores. You need to be kind and generous up front. Place to live, food, maybe even a tiny bit of spending money. And then it turns out -- you owe America for that shit. America is the only reason your ass isn't some haggard infested street hoodlum. So your going to work for America god damnit.
Because these people are dependent on you and have no self confidence -- they will be whores for America.

One problem is what people think they deserve. If you gave people what they felt they "deserve" I wonder exactly where it would end?
Many people think they deserve sports cars, 500k houses, 500 dollar shoes, etc. When they fail to have the means to get such things they cheat, steal and do everything to get items they "deserve."
Regarding the question, no one "deserves" a cell phone.
***Also, a cell phone is not an item of definite need that determines life or death. People existed without cell phones, and can still do so now.

one could argue feigning objectivity protects the status quo and therefore you "deserve" a beating.

Sounds like a keeper with basic market understanding. Generating this situation sounds like a good way to gather data points on what scale of emotional abuse is appropriate to integrate into sexual repertory.

Yes I did a very similar thing except this was in an eastern european country, and all I did was look at the beggars. My lady friend who I was traveling with was angry and made sure I understood to not even look at the beggars let alone give them something.
It just seemed weird to me, to walk by without looking at them I felt like I was being dehumanizing to them but for people there in that country it's customary to not even acknowledge the ones begging.
I suppose in the USA many do that too, but I don't. I tend to glance at beggars/homeless at the very least because I like to understand that they are not posing a threat. Walking by and not even watching those around me make me feel even more vulnerable.

def a cultural thing. those guys are willing to do work down there.
she recognizes the work available and that there is no reason to beg on the mexican/TX/CAL border cities.
