the trolls are people too

I am ashamed of how Americans treat the homeless and the needy in their urban cities and how this website denigrates the poor and less fortunate. You people are the richest country on earth and you will not even give out a scrap to those who are on the streets begging for a living! They need jobs, they need to feed their families, and you won't even help out shame on you!

The Bible says that God will judge the nations that forget the poor! You wont be rich forever, these poor ones will go to heaven and you'll go straight to hell with nothing!

New York also has big-league bums. I remember the first two bums who ever approached me in New York. It was down at Broadway and 18th St. one night. The first one, a stocky lout who didn't look more than thirty-eight, came up and mumbled something, and I shook my head no, the usual, but he wouldn't let up. He kept on coming and said, "I ain't asking you for eighteen hundred dollars, for chrissake. I ain't going to Acapulco for the winter."

I started outwalking him, mulling over the way he had thrown in these specific details, the eighteen hundred dollars and Acapulco, after the manner of Wordsworth, who would be off in the middle of some lyric passage about the woods and the glades, God, Freedom and Immortality, when his glorious delicatessen owner's love of minute inventory would overwhelm him and he could not help recording that the little girl who appeared on the bridge over the brook, a vision of love's own nostalgia, was exactly seven and a half years old, or like Dickens, who-when this train of thought was broken by the second bum, and the old scrime with a flaky face, who came up and asked me for something or other.

This time I tried something that had always worked in Washington, D.C., when the winos climbed Meridian Hill, I threw my hands up and started talking in a gibberish approximation of French, like Danny Kaye in the old git-gat-gittle days, the idea being that I didn't speak English and therefore didn't know what I was saying. So the guy just stares at me for a moment and says, "O.K., since you're a ________ foreigner who don't speak English, then why don't you go ---------hat, you ----------."

Well, he had me there. What could I do? Announce that I only understood the swear words? A real big-league bum who had to let me know this town has the kind of bums you don't put anything over on.

Just wait until you see what the government does to those who have homes after what the Supreme Court did last week.

It does work, if employed effectively.

I've never pursued the whole Danny Kaye routine though.

I pretend to be asleep.

Homeless people get unemployment benefits. They get free medical care. They get free food in shelters like Salvation Army, Loaves & Fishes, etc.

America is the most generous country in the world. Instead of criticizing America, go and live in a socialist country where they should supposedly care more for the homeless and see what's going on over there. You won't find another country where they treat homeless people better than in America. Even the homeless dogs in America have better life than some people in other countries. Would you be a little more thankful for this country?
