Sad-I used to be homeless in wilmington

@asoka2000 First of all you're assuming I am talking specifically to you,which I wasn't, it was for everyone in general. Second, I'm a fast typer so that's why I made a spelling error it's not because I don't know how to spell.

Third I don't really care if you think I have a stinking attitude, it's still my opinion and everyone has a right to their own opinion including you. I'm just going by my experience of working with these homeless people.

@asoka2000 My favourite part is where you called me not very bright, yet you can't spell 'habit,' a five lettered word. Many homeless people choose that lifestyle, but many others don't. Just because you have a stinking attitude towards others less fortunate does not mean that the rest of us are 'not very bright.' Idiot.

I never help the homeless and never will, by helping them with some change you're supporting their drug habbit. You really believe they're going to spend whatever change you give them on a cup of coffee or some food ? If you do you're not very bright.

Many homeless people choose that life style, I know because I've talked to them. They'd rather make free money then have to pay taxes to the gov't. Then when these fuckers fall sick from being in the cold guess who pays for it ? Us of course.

This is sad; it's a shame all the people who can walk by someone in need and not help. Even the change in have in your pocket would go a long way. Rid yourselves of a can of soda and give the change to someone who could use it.
