I'd take her on a drive around town and point out all the drug addicts holding up 'homeless' signs. Explain that's what happens if someone doesn't get a good job and makes bad choices.

#30, Speaking from experience of being homeless, that's actually only the case in 40% of the homeless population. Some just had horrible crap happen to them. Open your mind up just a little. Most homeless are actually more willing to help YOU out then your average working person. They truly understand the kindness of strangers.

That's why I specified "drug addicts". I'm not trying to sound cruel at all. I give foods, clothes, and water to homeless people every chance I get. The drug addicts and alcoholics are the ones who acts rude and asks for cash instead.

So you can absolutely without a doubt tell a drug addict/alcoholic from a regular homeless person? I promise you it's not that easy. I'd rather give them a few dollars to support their habit than then do something ****** up and hurt someone. Some also choose that life because of their addition. They can make decent money and cover their habit and food instead of stealing money to barely pay bills. are they in the wrong too?

Yes, I can. I volunteered a lot growing up and have learned to read the signs. I'm not rich. All I can do is spare them a meal, and I offer help indiscriminately. In my area, the majority of homeless people are the ones who are lazy and addicted to drugs/alcohol. So I'm only speaking for myself, not you or anyone else.

I hate when people label homeless as lazy. it actually is a lot of work still. they still have the daily hustle, the brutal discrimination of strangers, etc. just because you don't see them do much doesn't mean anything. you just assume they're lazy.

I mean don't get me wrong you have your bad eggs, but a lot of times they aren't who you think they are. The people I met while homeless.....some we're more beautiful and and honest to me than people with jobs, cars and houses.

#64 then just talk about yourself don't generalize it. You don't know their full stories, where they came from or even why they became addicts (that's if they're addicts) they could be vets that seen some stuff and didn't have the proper care. To tell your child such generalized things is just wrong.

She won't have any choice if her mother turns it into a family story

And that's when the blackmail started.

Pedo much...

He didn't say right now... He'll wait until she's 14 or 15, like Elvis, OJ
