I have worked with homeless people for many years and I take offence at your comments that " You don't see many homeless people packing drones around the soup kitchens and homeless shelters of major cities." you seem to be implying that homeless people are not well educated! What a gross and misinformed statement. There are many homeless who are very well educated and are very intelligent, but through circumstances, bad choices or mental problems they find themselves in various predicaments. If you are referring to their financial status and they can't afford drones..wow. Some things like basic food, health and shelter are more important than flying a piece of plastic around for fun. Then there was your comment about "those still learning English", who should "read more to improve your vocabulary". Thank you for your wonderful advice to all those who are inferior to you.
Yeah, when I was much younger, I still had faith and a healthy heart. I have worked around them street folks plenty. Done hundreds of hours in volunteer situations and raised several $M for various charitable organizations including, our very own Red Cross, Shriners, and even the Firefighters Burn Treatment Centre. Not to mention our ACT Rec Centre. What you are telling me is nothing new. But many of them have only one vested interest, getting drunk/high and going to jail.
You go ahead and hang your heart out on your sleeve, I for one am not Impressed or saddened by their situation... Been there done that, moved on. That's why I live on the other Southside of the river, from our capital inner city turmoil. I don't need it, or wish to see it. But I commend you for sticking up, for those who can't or them whom refuse to Take part in civil society. Bravo!!
Folks who would rather collect tin and aluminum cans, opposed to requesting aid, and getting even a menial job. Freedom...
With the current economy, any one could eventually be there.
By the way, speaking of those folks, being inferior as far as formal education, I dropped out in elementary school. Surely they are all smarter than me. Hahaha
But I can atleast communicate my feelings well enough, that even you, can understand my real true meaning, even by reading between the bold lines. Right? Gentleman and scholar you.
