jok 3,035 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Strange but true, I gave my old man a good smack with a garden spade, not before time.However it was a good excuse to get away from Scotland and find a new life. 15 years of age, £18 and a poached salmon to my name. I did'nt feel the need to beg from anyone. The YMCA gave me a room for £4 a week which is as you've guessed did'nt give me much time. Found a job, met some people and got on with it. Seems to have worked for me. Why don't the parasites you are on about get on and get a life? Answer. It's too fcking easy not to. Would I give them a thing? I wouldn;t give them a fright if I was a ghost. Fck off back to where you came from. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

neems 2,406 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 Always give them money, if they want to go spend it on drugs or booze that's up to them. Even give them a bit of green if I've got some on me. I know I'd want something to help block it out if I was on the streets You'd be better just buying them heroin yourself,probably get a better price. I can only imagine the warm and fuzzy feeling of knowing your feeding a tramps addiction AND helping out a small business (drug dealer). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not all of em are heroin junkies or pissheads. Alot of em these days are organised gangs sending Romanian beggers out... Really your paying for some Romanian gang members nice big house back home lol 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Carraghs Gem 1,675 Posted August 20, 2015 Report Share Posted August 20, 2015 I walk past all of them weighing them up.. Then I go buy some hot food and bring it back to the genuine homeless lads and often sit and have a chat with them . nearly brought one home with me one time he was only a kid but as I'm taking care of my dad I cant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lenmcharristar 9,173 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 Just ignore them, let the street dogs piss on them when laying phished or high. The foreigners need a good booting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trigger2 3,100 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 there was one in my town about 15 years ago use to pester the feck out of me for money and anyone else he thought he could get a few quid out of. nice young lad but just down on his luck. i didnt like him pestering me and use to feck him off. eventually he got the message and didnt ask me anymore so i started giving money from time to time and use to say to him thats for not pestering me all the time. his face was a picture then one morning he just wasnt there anymore and it turned out he had died of a drug overdose. i sort of missed him for a while as i just got use to seeing him about. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 21, 2015 Report Share Posted August 21, 2015 It seems clear that people in general give to beggars, I wonder why? There must be many reasons from 'there but for the grace of god go I,' to perhaps salving their conscience, that they have and others have not? This thread has made me think.

The foreigners need a good booting I think the man in your profile pic, fought his war so " foreigners wouldn't get a good booting", and that you had the freedom to lie around in the street if you were "phished" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
