(2,287 posts)Have you? I have. For several years on some of the meanest streets in NY. I had to ride the subways at night to have somewhere to sleep. I went hungry. I was robbed. There were a few nights I walked straight to the middle of the George Washington Bridge and really thought about jumping off. I came to know what true despair was. And here's the kicker.....My existence was a lot better than a lot of homeless on the street. I could have had it much, much worse.
I never had to stand on the street with a sign asking for help. But if I did I sure wouldn't be worrying about how fucking politically correct my sign was. People like you crack me up. You speed past this guy on the street on your way to wherever you're going to deal with a life that's obviously much better than what this guy is dealing with. You don't comment on his homelessness. You don't comment on the fact that he's jobless with all the ensuing issues that brings. Nope you find time to down the guy for two words, the context of which you don't even know because you were too busy driving on by to live your life.
You don't like his choice of words. Tell you what. Go find the guy. Help him get a job and a home. And then, maybe then your pretentious ass can explain to him all your theories about the objectification of women. And as other people have pointed out, you don't own a job and it's possible to not own a home. So maybe you should work on clarifying your language before you trash some poor guy on the street.
What a shitty, clueless OP.
