  • its not that we are calloused or cruel...its just that we didnt choose that for that woman...why should we be made out to be calloused or cruel just because we walk by her? she is sitting on a sidewalk on the street? are we supposed to not walk by her? are we not supposed to go about or buissness or our day because some lady is sitting next to a fire hydrant? what if every single person that day offered to let her stay at their house? every one couldn't take her in at the same time...we would h

  • Look how happy she was that someone gave her something, it would fill my heart with fucking joy to have someone smile at me like that for helping them just that little bit. Whereas them assholes that walked past...ugh.

  • Being homeless has nothing to do with a lack of intelligence. Why is it a surprise that a homeless person is reading something meaningful? A lot of the most brilliant people I know are the poorest, and a lot of the dumbest people I know are the wealthiest. No contradiction there

  • why is it that when it comes to videos about homeless people or population on YouTube...........the assholes posting the comments about these videos must be such snobby, patronizing dip-shits???

  • @TheGlife214 actually you're all idiots...I have a full time job ans lost my home with no where to go. Maybe it's her day off and no where to go so why not put a cup in front of you. Yeah I wrote this on my android that I charge at Starbucks and sometimes at work. Just because you have a job doesn't mean you can get your life fixed twats

  • How about reading a job application?

  • she is just a homeless moral nihilist 

  • This video is ridiculous. omgggg a person who doesn't have a house knows how to read! look at her, is she actually entertaining herself?! omg!!!11 if i was homeless i would spend as much time as possible reading.

  • I don't know if the person did leave anything for the girl, but personally i don't think i could film the girl ,then take the time to upload video to youtube, and not have left some money for the girl, or bought a coffee and some food, Which in general this is what i do, i buy a hot drink in winter and a pack for sausage rolls or pasties on special for the homelss, breaks my heart. hope the girl is having better luck now.blessings to her and her dog companion.

  • is so sad to see these things, poor girl :(

  • I'm sure if most of us lost our income and support system we'd be on the streets real quick. I hope this girl and many others get the support they deserve.

  • Can you imagine, If everyone donated just one dollar...She wouldn't be there. Instead of filming her, HELP HER. And in my opinion she isn't begging. She has a sign leaning on her lap, it's an optional donation. This is very sad, and if everyone just took a little something, She could have a SAFE place to sleep, a shower etc. My faith in humanity has severely dropped. No one can relate unless they have sat in her spot. She could be selling drugs or prostitution or theft. Her standards are higher

  • stop filming her -.- ur not helping her.. just embarase her. give her some money ffs.-.-

  • @Dimitrij90, Hell yeah, she needs a new tattoo!

  • everybody goin past her and nobody is helping her thats terrible

  • There is nothing wrong with this bitch for god's sake go find a job bitch!!

  • @Deathdig999 you cleary haven't realized that there are less jobs than there are human beings, and on top of that, you have to have an address to get hired

  • @Deathdig999 You don't know that. Ever heard of mental health, mental scars? She could have been in a fucked up child hood, raped. You don't know.

    Not saying she was, and she might well be fine but you don't know.

  • The dog is thinking "Fuck me...why do we just sit here all the time!? Why don't we get up and do something with our lives?"

  • i know because one day this women asking for 3 dollors because she did not have gas ok i gave her my last 2 dollors i had she got in her car and drove off i that she need it for gas nope only god knows wht she used the money i gaved her

  • i hate this people that look in good condition 2 work asking for many thats why lots of the time half of the people dont help homeless because of people like this kind seating down with good clothes and a dog please people

  • ok people this lady has fucking papers she can get a good job man she shoud be a shame mexican people that dont have papers work there ass off

  • @TheGlife214 oh please, nobody works better than anybody else. Those mexican people are good with their hands and are pretty fast at some shit, but when it comes to thinking shit out, no fucking way. They can't put two coherent words together on paper.

  • I give to homeless people whenever I can and I volunteer at soup kitchens and shelters during the winters...

    and I hate to say it...alot of homeless people are just lazy and have no desire to work.

    Sure we can tackle drug abuse, Alcoholism, mental issues, etc.... but a homeless man/woman MUST develop a strong resolve that they will work hard to crawl out of their situation.

  • @ModernNorseman why would you volunteer at a soup kitchen? I would think there would be enough free labor floating through the door....

  • @ferdonandebull theres enough bodies coming through the door...but there is no willpower to work in most of them.

    Laziness seems to be a large problem with many homeless.

  • @ModernNorseman Yeah that is why you need to let them starve. Years ago I worked in a boat factory.Bums come in and ask for money or food. I had a scraper that we used to remove fiberglass from the floor. I would offer pay to clean. Only one man in two years took me up on it. He ended up living at the factory and worked his way up.

  • i feel very sad this days how ppl have no heart we need big war to change this fucking world to to see ppl like is not even fair

  • @mariahemc2 what makes you think you would survive it? we are the survivors of several big wars and this is how we turned out. Using your method of change it appears you would be on the losing side.....

  • She should be reading the book titled "How to Get Out of Poverty".

    

  • PS no homeless person wants to hear you Christian nonsense. Religion is for those who have not known what hell is, spirituality is for those who have lived in hell.

  • Lots of homeless read books, as prison inmates do. Why? because it passes time and keeps your mind tuned. I would know because up until two years ago I was on and off the street, in and out of jail since sixteen years old.

  • @skyisthecrow so what are you doing now?

  • @ferdonandebull I am currently unemployed and this is very frustrating because being an ex con and without a driver's licence I am very limited to my job search. I am experienced in a lot different areas of the Restaurant and hospitality industry as well as the Construction industry but I don't have the papers to back my credentials. The welfare system here isn't the best for trying to get anywhere in terms of education and upgrading, it appears to me that this system is only meant to sustain.

  • @skyisthecrow Yeah you have dug yourself a hole. I take it you do not have a license because of legal trouble? See you are in competition with people who have not made the mistakes so you are behind. I am afraid you are in the process of digging yourself out. that is going to be a son of a bitch but people do it everyday. You may have to be kitchen help for a while until someone sees just what you have to offer. Good luck!

  • @skyisthecrow there are three supreme court cases that say that you do not need a driver's license to travel in this country...and that is behind the wheel.."Driver" is a position for pay, you do not need a "driver's license" in this country, unless you do it for a living. All of you slaves and wannabe slaves can take your comments and shove 'em.

  • I love her!!!

  • shes reading reasonable doubt by phillip friedman.....

  • hey you the person who video this women.you are the DOG.hope you fuckin die of cancer you waste of space!

  • And she expects to be employed with tattoos on her face? If she is an intellectual I hope I never become one. Intellect does not sit on the street begging. And before anyone gets upset. I've been homeless and know first hand what it would have been like if I'd let myself go.

  • @aTruster then you dont know shit...

    what is it with you people...

    do we need to look like you..does that set the standart of a interlectual person?

    you dont know shit about this person..how dare you to judge her because she has tattoos.. ? youre a bad appel in this world ..and people like you, you get a kick of putting people down because she doesnt live a life to youre standarts...

    youre sick in youre head....and you call youre self a truster..you ignorent peace of scrap

  • @opiated666 bless you.

  • @opiated666 more liberal crap. Yes people judge you by how you look. She has made sure that she will only be working in the back of some kitchen somewhere. Yes people with tattoos have more trouble getting employment than those that don't. Yes people judge them. Clean up get off the curb and look for work. No work? Move. In the Polly Anna world you live in everyone loves everyone. The world is about competition, people judge other people. Live with it....

  • NO ONE will understand being homeless unless you've been there yourself

  • @thebeatdown160 No one understands anything unless there life is screwed up and old's saying you won't understand unless you are in my shoes!! People don't give a shit about homeless otherwise if they are!! Lots of people's lives are good and if your life is good don't give a shit!

  • @thebeatdown160

    Believe me, I do. It's scary, lonely, cold, and demoralizing.

  • Maybe she reads to avoid eye contact. It has to be incredible painful to see yourself in another eyes, particularly when so many people are so calloused and cruel.

  • @FlintboyG Damn right it's cruel world help yourself only solution!!

  • whoever recorded this is a stalker

  • I do give to the homeless, not in SF but in Fresno, Cal, and god blesses me, as the Bible say! Homelessness is so bad in this country.

  • I don't see what's impressive about this. Obviously this girl's just some junky trying to get some money to go buy some dope in the tenderloin or something of that nature. That fate can happen to anybody regardless of their intellectual abilities.

  • @peezus Obviously? Obviously? How on earth is it "obvious" that she's "just some junky"? If there wasn't a sign in front of her saying "homeless," you wouldn't assume that at all. You can't tell someone's story just by looking at them. How can you be so judgmental when you know nothing about her? That is ignorance at its finest. Congratulations.

  • How can pretty women who have all their teeth and are able to read homeless? Wouldn't a man snatch her up from the streets in seconds?

  • I think she reads to help mask the shame she must somewhere be feeling however deep down that may be. No one knows her story but her as with all the homeless. There but for the grace of God Go I

  • did you give her some money??

  • so wat u tryin to say homeless people dnt read

  • unfortunately some homeless people arent after food but money for drugs. i've seen a women give a homeless person an apple and after she walked away, the homeless person threw it away.

  • It's a ploy, she can't red. lol

  • @onthedocktechnology you cant spell . THIS IS HOW YOU SPELL "READ" BITCH

  • @miamibabii77 You are an idiot. It was a pun. Play on words. By the way, there is an apostrophe after the n in can't. You dolt?

  • @onthedocktechnology OMG AN APOSTROPHE !!! LOL ITS YOUTUBE WHO GIVES A FUCK . DOLT? PUN? IM AN AMERICAN I DONT SPEAK DUMBASS ....OPPS NO APOSTROPHE HAHA

  • @miamibabii77 You sir, are a Jackass.

  • @onilink422 lol SIR? .. I AM A WOMAN =)

  • @miamibabii77 So you are! xD Sorry. :b

  • How does a homeless person take care of a dog to feed,etc.?

  • @DThor53 I'm sure the dog earns its keep. It can find scraps. It can be cute to people to help them be more compassionate. It can smell a bagel from 4 blocks away. Probably helps keep her grounded, sane, compassionate in a sick world. Not to mention extra body warmth at night ... This is a prime example of: "Man's best friend".

  • people seem not to look,but authority tells YOU to Leave,not because you're loitering(I get SSI),not enough even for a room,but just enough to survive barelly.

    So when I was literally BANSHIED from a local shopping mall(Park City),I was buying soda's,meals,etc.. there,but yet they had a RENT-A-COP take my photo,sign a paper I wasn't even able to read(some serious legal matters just right there!!!),I'm pissed by higher upper Cunts in power!! Let's talk about what it really was:homelessness!!!

  • With tatts on her face and across her body, she's pretty much made her life much harder. Mainstream, conservatives rarely hire tatted women, especially ones with tatts on their faces. Maybe someone with the ability will help her get rid of the tatts on her face and help her find a job.

  • i swear i saw her on boul. des sources 

  • that's like me, man, except that my cognitive abilities are so gone that iz challenged.

  • Its called getting in welfare or hustle....shit...im a single mom and kinda broke but I just got my own nice 2bedroom apartment.. I busted my ass to gain what I have.

  • Shes pretty

  • Why the amazement that a homeless person should read??? .. I was once waiting for some friends in London and got chatting to by homeless guy . At first I was a bit standoffish as a lot are but soon relised this guy had twice my charm and intelligence .he could tell you how much it cost to put on each show in the West end .. the best shows to see and what to avoid etc .... then he went on to tell me about how when he was married he would travel to the West end with his wife to watch the Opera ..

  • What a lot of people dont think about is that job searching becomes old when you keep getting turned down, and who wants to hire someone that isnt wearing unwrinkled clothing or smells like shampoo. It wears on the soul. This is not the sign of a lazy person, rather someone that is having a difficult time, think about it. Use your heart and really feel the idea of not having anything familiar, like your bed or coffee cup.

  • ive been watching some of these vids about young homeless people... i think they just dont want to work, yet cant understand why they can't make rent. and i guess it must be hard to get a job when ur face is all tatted up or your hair is in messy dreads... i have lots of friends who travel by any means necessary and ask for spare change. but i really dont think its right to sit ur ass on a corner and just expect money because your not really doing anything about ur situation.

  • don't give her nothing, she just gonna use it to score more books...

  • @a46475 dude

  • Yeah, right, you should do exactly just that. Read more books just like this woman. Because not all beggars are homeless. Some even make a good living begging in one part of town and live in another part of town.

  • The west didn't have such massive poverty and homeless problems when we still had ( blue collar ) jobs and living wages here. It has only been since the transfer of the majority of our manufacturing base to Asia that our society has come to be in this state.GDP for 2011: China 9.0% GDP Canada 0.9% GDP USA 1.0% do the math this is the outcome.

  • WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY SO MANY TREAT THE HOMLESS SO BAD WHEN WE MAKE A GOOD LIVING TO GIVE TO THEM FROM OUR HEARTS. GOD AND THE LORD SAID GIVE SO GIVE PEOPLE.IF YOU DONT WANT TO GIVE ANY MONEY THEN PAY FOR SOME FOOD FOR THEM TO EAT PLEASE.

  • @DRUMMERAL100 Greed.

  • @youdevil6 I UNDERSTAND AND YOUR RIGHT AND THATS WHAT IT IS

  • @DRUMMERAL100 what does god has to do with beeing good for a homeless person? you tell me

    you get me realy angry infolving god in it as if only believers can do good...

    you said it well give from youre heart...untill you started about god...you lost me from there...

  • @opiated666 WHY WOULD YOU ASK ME SOMETHING AS DUMB AS YOU JUST DID ? YOU KNOW GOD HAVE ALOT TO DO WITH LOVE AND GIVING OUT TO PEOPLE AMEN.WHAT DOES THE WORD OF GOD SAY ? IT SAY HAVE THE HEART OF GIVING .SO THAT'S WHY I PUT GOD IN IT.I JUST DONT SEE WHAT IS WRONG WITH US GIVING FROM OUR HEARTS AS GOD TOLD US TO.I FEEL SORRY YOU FEEL THIS WAY ABOUT GOD.BUT JUST KNOW I LOVE THE LORD AND GOD AND I ALWAYS PUT THEM FIRST IN ALL I DO AMEN.

  • @DRUMMERAL100 Ya i'd say ALWAYS give them food. Theres been a couple occasions where a homless person asks for money, i say i'll go inside and buy them food and ask what they want and they say nah i just want money. Alot of em want alcohal or drugs so never give em money.

  • @RitzDaCracker1 YES I FEEL THE SAME WAY TO IT ALL AS WELL. I THINK IF WE GOING TO DO ANYTHING FOR THEM AND THEY SAY THEY NEED FOOD THEN THATS WHAT WE SHOULD GET FOR THEM THEN GIVING THEM THE MONEY TO GET IT.THIS WAY WE KNOW FOR SURE THEY GETTING WHAT THEY SAID THEY NEED THEN NOT.

  • @DRUMMERAL100 I used to be homeless (I left my abusive husband and had nothing) People don't like to give food. If you're lucky they give you biscuits and crisps. Most of the times they spit at you as their conscience don't like to see poor people when they come out of the shop with a full trolley. I rarely begged for money, often for healthy food. Yes, I could cook in my squat with water and electricity :) Thank God there are people like you! God bless you!

  • @Gehenna71 YOUR VERY WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR THE LOVE THAT YOU HAVE FOR GOD PEOPLE AMEN.IM HAPPY TO HEAR THAT YOU NOT HOMELESS ANY MORE AND THAT GOD AND THE LORD IS TAKING CARE OF YOU.

  • @DRUMMERAL100

    I ALSO TALK IN CAP LOCKS BECAUSE I LOVE MY LORD. PRAISE SATAN.

  • @LeaveTroll WELL YOU DO YOUR WILL FOR YOUR GOD AND I WILL DO MY WILL FOR MY GOD AMEN.ALL I CAN SAY TO YOU IS TO REPENT FROM YOUR SINS BEFORE ITS TO LATE IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

  • @DRUMMERAL100 CAPS LOCK IS THE BEST KEY!!!!! PEOPLE LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY WHEN I SHOUT UNREADABLE SENTENCES!!!! MOST PEOPLE CONSIDER ME TO BE INTELLIGENT WHEN I WRITE IN CAPS!!!

    Signed: A. Moron.

  • @mryellow123 GET OVER IT ALREADY AND JUST READ AND IF U DONT LIKE CAPS U ARE FREE 2MOVE ON AND READ OTHERS THEN WHAT I WRITE IN CAPS.DONT HATE BECAUSE IM TELLING THE TRUTH IN CAPS 2HOW WE SHOULD GIVE FROM OUR HEARTS 2 OTHERS THAT IS IN NEED.GET OVER YOURSELF AND LEARN HOW 2GIVE FROM YOUR HEART 2ALL THAT ASK FOR HELP AND GOD WILL BLESS YOU AS HE BLESSED ME AND MY WIFE.THATS WHATS WRONG WITH ALOT OF PEOPLE 2DAY THEY THINK OTHERS ARE JUST REACHING OUT JUST 2 REACH OUT WHEN THEY REALLY NEED OUR HELP

  • @DRUMMERAL100 Can you write that again but readable. I won't expend the extra effort to decipher more ranting.

    Look at a newspaper or your bible if you'd like to see what has been proven to be easier to read. Short lines, proper-case.

  • @mryellow123 WELL SOUND LIKE 2ME SOMEONE NEED 2 LEARN HOW 2 READ LOL.MAYBE ITS TIME FOR SOMEONE 2 GO BACK 2 SCHOOL LOL.YOUR FIGHT IS NOT WITH ME ITS WITH YOURSELF FOR BEING THE WAY U ARE.LEARN HOW 2GIVE THEN ALWAYS KEEPING FOR YOURSELF.TIME 2 MOVE ON FROM YOU BECAUSE I CAN SEE U GOING TO BE A FOOL THAT IS LOOKING FOR A FIGHT THEN CHANGING YOUR WAYS 2 GIVING 2 OTHERS THAT IS IN NEED. SO WORRY 2 MY CAPS THEN PEOPLE THAT IS IN NEED. THINK ABOUT HOW U COMING OFF 2 PEOPLE WHEN THEY READ YOUR WRITING

  • @DRUMMERAL100 sry once again, I will not read that unreadable rant. If you'd like to communicate then try to make it easier on people.

  • @mryellow123 WELL YOU ARE A LIE BECAUSE YOU ARE READING ALL I PUT UP HERE THAT'S WHY YOU KEEP ON WRITING BACK LOL. SO I SEE YOU DO UNDERSTAND ALL I WRITE HERE LOL.KEEP ON LEARNING FROM ME BECAUSE THAT'S WHY IM HERE TO TEACH AMEN.

  • @DRUMMERAL100 Sentences please.

  • @mryellow123 I LOVE YOU IN JESUS NAME AMEN.

  • @mryellow123 I LOVE YOU IN JESUS NAME AMEN

  • WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS WHY SO MANY TREAT THE HOMLESS SO BAD WHEN WE MAKE A GOOD LIVING TO GIVE TO THEM FROM OUR HEARTS. GOD AND THE LORD SAID GIVE SO GIVE PEOPLE.IF YOU DONT WANT TO GIVE ANY MONEY THEN PAY FOR SOME FOOD FOR THEM TO EAT PLEASE.

  • So young..

  • Just a bit patronising. Are all homeless people meant to be alcoholics and have mental health issues? Homeless people are still people, and most of them can read. Why is this a surprise?

  • how can u be homeless with a dog?!!! i hate when people do this.

  • @Redrumhydro look at the dog i bet he eats before her....so your saying you feel more for the dog than a human...oh well...dont assume because you are homeless you are on drugs either..she could have run away from an abusive home or lost her job but the dog looked well and he had no obvious hair loss which means he gets nutrition....

  • @hapbeyguano for now but this happens too much and sometimes the dog dies and sometimes people be faking it. how i know? because i talk to them and see it all of the time.

  • i dont get it .whoever made this video is human waste way worse than that girl reading.u suck i hope u take it personal too

  • Who knows what this woman's story is?. Just because you are on the street does not mean you are bad, or ignorant or stupid, maybe just had a run of bad luck and bad circumstances. I am currently on unemployment for the first time in 23 years. I am highly educated, and I usually make really good money as a paralegal. I am unable to find a job at this time, and when my unemployment runs out, I will be sitting beside her with my dog.

  • it is stupid, its like omg homeless people read, because they are not suppose to read right, homeless are all cracked out non reading morons right?! i bet shes smarter than you

  • whats the name of the song in the background

  • The U.S.A Needs complete Socialist reform, It needs to run a proper wellfare state, Free at the point of need healthcare from cradle to grave, A big investment in social housing and state schools, The police need to wind their neck in and keep whithin their remit, And pay good money to the unemployed and not that food stamp crap( Perhaps not fror drug and booze addicts with dependents) In short, Start really looking after your own people, The way of things up to now never really worked

  • @xmoroseguyx

    This guy's post will never happen in this country. Keep dreaming.

  • @TheDeistAngle You would have said the same thing about having a black president not so many years ago, The " American dream " So called, Has shown to be nothing more than a failed pyramid scheme, And with your country`s up to it`s neck in debt, What other direction can your country take?

  • @xmoroseguyx

    Americans don't care about each other. figure it out now and avoid dissapointment

  • @TheDeistAngle I don`t believe that, And that wouldn`t stop upgrading Medicare, To a full national healthcare service etc..

  • @xmoroseguyx

    Seriously, dude?

    Look at how insane and frothing at the mouth half the country is over a few rules that prevent exclusion. Something like single payer will NEVER happen. They'll be a violent revolution first.

  • @TheDeistAngle Well, Obama got it passed didn`t he ? Saying they can`t medically screen people upfront or bar people because they might not be in the best of health, Is really a inevitable step towards social healthcare

  • @xmoroseguyx

    As a poor person, i honestly can say I was better off before Obama's healthcare bill.

    It started out noble, public option, good stuff. He was fulfilling his promise to give healthcare to all, to bring us into a sensible era, allow us quality of life on par with Europians...

    but then the Republicans started calling him a communist.

    Now, I prepare to be required BY LAW to have insurance, and that insurance isn't free.

    Fuck Obama. he's spineless and capitulates to big business. (cont)

  • @TheDeistAngle

    America will never treat fellow americans with dignity and decency.

    Obama dosent care, democrats don't care, and the other side openly hates scientists and poor people (im a poor person.. in school to be a scientist.)

    Fuck this country, its finished.

  • @TheDeistAngle You Amerikans wouldn't know what Communism is if it slapped you in the ass. You Amerika throw it around without meaning just to insult one another.. Oh my god!!!! Ahhh! Communism!?!? No! You're a communist! No you are! No you! You are!

    Pathetic.. Do not blame any side, blame your imperialist Government.

  • @2tur

    Try actually reading my comment next time, dumbass.

    I said that the republicans called him communist, and then he went limp-writested and spineless. I wanted the health care bill that the crazies were calling communist. I didn't get it. I got a pro-big business health care bill.

    Fuck you and read what you criticize.

  • @TheDeistAngle Your President was always spineless and limp-writested. It isn't the Republican's fault, it's the entire Government's fault. It's your fault too; you voted for these people. I have been homeless before; it is a rut that is difficult to get out of.

  • @2tur

    you're taking me for attacking homeless people? I'm not. I think the posted video is disgustingly titled.

    What I'm saying is aimed at the comments here "We should help this person!" Well, get out there and fucking help her. There's alot of political shit talking about how the country needs to make homelessness a priority. I agree, but... i realise taht it will never happen. I'm saying people dont give half a fuck about the poor like you and I, and its not going to change.

  • if you don't feel FUCKING BETRAYED by that health care bill, then you're a zombie.

  • The person who made this video is an insensitive jackass,

  • Was she really reading it? Or just high and staring at the one same page over and over so like it looks like she's doing something as she sits there begging?

  • How does reading a book make some intellectual?

    And why is it surprising that an intellectual person could be homeless? Everyone has problem in their lives, some are victims of events out of their control.

  • Just because you read a book now and then does not make you an intellectual
