If you read the full article it was just an arm over the shoulder not a full on sexual hug. Your reply is ridiculous and the school rule, the administration and those who try to employ, back or enforce this kind of stupidity are actually stupid. Not being stupid, actually stupid people. I was a teacher and worked in schools where I was told this kind of stupid shit all the time... in one ear and our the other where it belonged. |

Hehe, I forgot about the PDA rule. I lost my virginity in my junior high stairwell, I guess they weren't real sticklers on PDA.

This does not mean you are manic...she called it gifted. Sounds like a bunch of psychoanalytic hooey but she went into great detail at the time and seemed to be highly versed in that topic. She also seemed to be highly versed in most of the randomness I threw at her, and the more I gave her thinking I would get a diagnosis, the more she said that not only was I perfectly normal, I was also highly gifted.  Sweeeeet. See, I don't think I am gifted....but that was money well spent. You may have this one Mocking for free. Hey Zen- I just gave someone in a nice jacket an unreasonable amount of money. In fact he was dressed so well that I gave him more money than I normally would. I didn't care about a con or not. He's honest, he says he needs to eat. So I gave him enough for an ok lunch. The next day (yesterday) I was treated to a gift at my normal coffee shop. He had left an electronic keyboard for me with the owners of the coffee shop. I still believe in people. It's probably a weakness. I don't care.

I have not described a story about giving money to people. In this thread you will find such stories from Fresh, LJ, Vienna, and Blue (who mentioned the jacket). Cloud (post #53) linked it to me and your obsession took it from there. Equally I don't label beggars as stupid, although I have (briefly) met a few who seemed that way. And likewise I don't think giving money to beggars is stupid. Believing their stories might be a bit naive, though, but not always. I give (sometimes, and usually less than I should :p ) but not because I believe the story. I just figure they need the money pretty badly, and if I can spare a little, I'll share. I've had beggars approach me in Japan four times. Even Japanese people are surprised by this. I gave, more to those who spoke English. I figure I might need their help one day.

Just on general principal, I don't give money to men panhandlers, only women. Even bummy men have a better chance at jobs than women do, and have the potential to make more. Women and children deserve handouts more until that equalizes, IMO.

Just responding to this my dear. And the fact that you hadn't said anything formerly in the thread on the topic was also made into a joke/jab at me by Shawnee..... The events of the thread as I recall and don't even have to go back to look: Cloud tries to quote Zen who had never posted about the topic....I said: what?!? to Cloud.. And Shawnee pops in to the stupid people thread to call me stupid for not getting what you hadn't ever said. I thought it was well played.....by Shawnee. Sigh.....and as for my current obssessions and admirations outside of Shawnee for being funny and quicker than lightning..well.... Am I fixated with you?!? You aren't even joking about that anymore...maybe you never were..Holy ....Not that I shouldn't be...or you or undeserveing or something....but holy crap...I was kidding. But not anymore. I'm just learning not to joke with the wrong people. Where are your smilies? You have a bad day so all of a sudden you can take a long-running joke out of context?

Around 15 years ago, there was a very outgoing panhandler who was famous in the DC neighborhoods my friends and I frequented. One night, one friend was on a hot date at a restaurant, only to realize he'd forgotten his wallet. So, he excused himself, took a short walk outside the place...and spotted Little George, working the crowds. To my friend's relief, Little George was nice enough to lend him about 50 bucks or so. At a very high interest rate, of course. |
