I wanna punch him just for that shirt.

Anyway, a dumpster with solar power and air conditioning ain’t exactly the same as eking out an existence in the slums of New Delhi or Mogadishu. I’m reminded of a professor at local university years ago who took his class on a candle-lit walk around campus at night to give them a taste of what it was like to be homeless. As if walking around with a candle on the campus of a suburban university is anything like being a probably mentally ill, probably alcohol or drug-addicted, person who doesn’t have the luxury of heading back to the dorms after the candle burns out.

Also, I guaran-darn-tee you that that dumpster had a very special funk after the first few months. Possibly after the first few weeks.

What do you call a college professor living in a dumpster?

A good start.

This leaves me speechless.

Some idiot decides to convert a dumpster with lights and an a/c and declares it to be a “roughing it” experience. The house I lived in as a kid wasn’t that luxurious...trust me.

What a world...what a world.

A good kick in the balls will help, maybe.

You gonna do WHAT?

He's a professor of "Environmental Studies" (aka, totally worthless BS) at Huston–Tillotson University is a historically black university in Austin, Texas, United States. The school is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, the United Church of Christ, and the United Negro College Fund.

Ahhhh, he’s just getting in touch with his roots, evolved from worms and maggots.
It’s amazing how liberals crave and desire abased things, it’s in their DNA.
The Bible tells us that since they refuse acknowledge God, that God left them over to reprobate minds. Pervs.

well, maybe he could have moved to Tacloban and lived in a shelter for a year, like the thousands did here when they were hit by a typhoon.

Please, most people think of a dumpster as the standard 4 cubic yard size not a thirty or forty cubic yard dumpster, and most homeless people live in a box or just blankets on the ground. This guy is JAFL(Just Another Fugging Liberal) pretending to be homeless while living in what a truly homeless person would consider luxury. I cry for his sacrifice.

. . to do those things which are not convenient.

warped and twisted ideologies that supersede common sense, and this is who we’re sending our children off to be educated by at great expense,

“And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;” Romans 1:28

"Big dumpster."

Yes, obviously one of those construction site sizes. Nicely painted, with wifi and A/C.

Wonder if he took showers on campus, or he had a small one in the corner.

Basically he lived in a well appointed trailer home.

Not exactly "roughing it".

The utility of a dumpster is that it exists to collect, contain and remove trash. This fellow’s dumpster seems to follow the functions of collection and containment, but not removal of trash. So I cannot think of it as a “dumpster” in the true sense of the word.

This was just a cunning stunt.

Indeed. I have known people who don’t live nearly as well.
