New Yorkers Don't Care!! - on the Subway

[twish1999]

Yes, i see exactly what you mean about some people seeming to be more sincere than others... i am just thankful that i have never had to beg for money

[robertantonvlogs]

@twish1999 at least I haven't had to beg strangers. LOL

[darxcyber]

good vlog man, enjoyed it!

its the same here in the UK on the trains lol

[robertantonvlogs]

@OliverBearBlog Thanks so much!

[Blackwiz]

Are you originally from New York? I don't really hear the accent? How long have you been living in NY?

[robertantonvlogs]

@Blackwiz I've spent all my adult life in NYC; but I'm originally from the midwest.

[johnthelimodriver69]

THANK S GOOD TO SEE YOU!

[robertantonvlogs]

@johnthelimodriver69 Hey man, How's it goin? Happy New Year

[TruthSerum101]

...but for real, there are so many people without jobs in New York, many of whom look strong and healthy - the numbers are staggering.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 I know there are, my friend; but we do tend to make those snap judgements and decisions. Personally I couldnt afford to give to every single person money or I wouldnt have any, so I pick and choose.

[TruthSerum101]

@robertantonvlogs ..and even though women outlive men, we are socialized to see men as less vulnerable but this recession has hit men harder than women; e.g., construction and manufacturing sufferred more than heath care and education.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 Yup, It's hard all over; but the difference between the man and woman was that she explained why she needed the money; he just came on saying basically, "can anybody give me some money". Like I say in the video, a good story will get you further than just a hand out.

I tend to give more often to ppl who try to offer something like comedy or singing or playing an instrument...and I guess a good backstory could be included in that list.

[TruthSerum101]

@robertantonvlogs Right. I know what you mean. Back when I used to ride the subway, I never gave at all.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 you still live in NYC and dont ride the subway?

[TruthSerum101]

@TruthSerum101 I think I rode the subway three times last year.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 lucky you. you driving now?

[TruthSerum101]

@robertantonvlogs Yeah! Driving a bike!!! Maintaining a car/parking in my part of town would cost a fortune.

For the past 2.5 years, 95% of what I do is right here in Hell's Kitchen. I walk everywhere or use my bike. That should be changing in a few months though.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 about to make a move? lol @ 2.5 years

[TruthSerum101]

@robertantonvlogs Yeah, I have a few things planned that will demand that I leave the neighborhood. LOL.

[robertantonvlogs]

@TruthSerum101 I love a good mystery.

[finnsia]

@robertantonvlogs DUDE

this shit existed through out history

who diserves and who doesn't

that man very well could have been in a worse situation

but no one will give it to him

because they saw the woman as more deserving

put her on a wheel chair and she will get twice the amount of money

[robertantonvlogs]

@finnsia Yup. sometimes it's about the show. Give me a story that tugs at my heart strings and my pockets open up like you'd said "open sesame".

[tessagee]

lmao im not gonna lie i do that on the train hahha, if its an older woman i end up giving her something, but if its a big strong man that looks like he can do some form of trade, LOL i just look at the signs on the train act like nobody is there lol

[robertantonvlogs]

@tessagee I'm sure most of us do.

[tayfan2]

Real life. Real vlogging.

[robertantonvlogs]

@tayfan2 kamikaze style.

[robertantonvlogs]

@dynomitis Oh yeah!
