Tales From Being Homeless

[James L Walker]

You can't be a government supporter and social darwinist. That is a contradiction.

I don't think so.

It is as articulated by my other threads.

We'll discuss them there then.

So, how is your survival going, James?

Oh--I've also read that texting on an iphone is slow and error-prone--plus it's hard to use for a woman if she has long fingernails.

Whatever, whether you use a phone or a computer for messaging, you still need to pay a usage fee to the cell provider--or the ISP.

To Preacher Pink Dildo Man:

Do you know how unbearable and boring it is having nothing all the time?

Many people in many cultures have nothing. They don't whinge about being bored. Frankly, I would have thought boredom was the least of your worries when you're struggling to get enough to eat or find shelter from the cold.

Clearly you aren't in as bad a situation as you claim, if your biggest worry is boredom.

You try it sometime. Fat chance at that with your self righteousness.

No self righteousness - I just don't believe you. Simple.

You act like it is a crime to want or self indulge in something.

Not a crime, just abject stupidity to the point of your story being unbelievable. If you were truly that stupid then you would already be dead.

A i-phone is the most expensive thing I own. Kinda sad if you think about it.

Not really, I don't judge people's worth based on what they own. I judge their worth based on their character.

For your information, I don't even own anything as expensive as an iPhone. You see, I too have very little money, but I don't spend my time making up bullshit stories on internet forums whinging about how I blew all my food money on two iPhones because I was bored.

In Africa for many individuals cellphones are the most expensive things they own too beyond the shirts on their backs.

Like you'd have a fucking clue what goes on in Africa. And for your information, Africa is not one homogenous place you can just use as a premise in your increasingly lame, implausible and unbelievable arguments. The very fact you just point and say 'Africa is poor' shows how fucking ignorant you are about the rest of the world. You won't find many Africans spending hundreds of dollars on iPhones - BECAUSE MOST OF THEM DON'T EVER HAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO SPARE. Just as you wouldn't if you were truly the broke homeless person you claim to be...

Q.E.D.

Have you heard of public wifi?

You do not know what you are talking about.

To Pink Dildo:

I said cellphones in Africa not i-phones. Big difference.

In Africa a cellphone is all individuals own and nothing else.

Also when I bought the phones I had two and a half months of wages saved which means I spent 45% of my money on the phones having 55% leftover.

The leftoever money I spent on rent, food, and basic essentials not that I need to justify myself to you. What the fuck do you want big brother?

Of course food, shelter, and looking for work is priority but there is still a lot of in between time also idiot. I also use the phone to look for work and communicate with others. Shocking I know....

As usual you don't know dick of what it is you are talking about.

I never been to Africa or out of the United States, so what?

That is what reading news articles of reporters who have is for.

Boredom is not a problem? If you don't have anything to do all the time you tend to get sluggish by lying around and in many cases over sleeping because there is nothing else to fucking do!

Since you have never lived in real poverty I would not suspect you know anything as to what it is you are fucking talking about.

To Pink Dildo:

Indeed. A cellphone can be bought quite cheaply. An iPhone is a luxury item. Had you bought a couple of cell phones I could believe it.

In Africa a cellphone is all individuals own and nothing else.

Just read that sentence again. If you can't see what's so utterly stupid about it then I'll explain it to you.

Also when I bought the phones I had two and a half months of wages saved which means I spent 45% of my money on the phones having 55% leftover.

The leftoever money I spent on rent, food, and basic essentials not that I need to justify myself to you. What the fuck do you want big brother?

This contradicts what you said before. Funny how quickly a story unravels under scrutiny WHEN THAT STORY ISN'T TRUE.

Of course food, shelter, and looking for work is priority but there is still a lot of in between time also idiot. I also use the phone to look for work and communicate with others. Shocking I know....

And of all the things you could have bought to keep yourself amused you bought a massively overpriced bit of consumer technology. You could have got the same functionality and amusement out of a cheaper phone, but bought the most expensive available.

Not the behaviour of someone who knows the value of things.

As usual you don't know dick of what it is you are talking about.

No, I don't know dick. I bet you do though, all those years living on the street, I bet someone paid you for a piece of ass.

I never been to Africa or out of the United States, so what?

So making blanket statements like:

In Africa a cellphone is all individuals own and nothing else.

is prejudiced and stupid.

That is what reading news articles of reporters who have is for.

Yeah, because rich white journalists paid by richer, whiter editors have never had any kind of demonstrable agenda against poor brown people, have no history of misrepresenting poor brown people, indeed, have treated poor brown people with the utmost sincerity, honesty and respect. Oh, wait a second...

Boredom is not a problem? If you don't have anything to do all the time you tend to get sluggish by lying around and in many cases over sleeping because there is nothing else to fucking do!

Boredom isn't a problem for me, no. I have plenty of things to be getting on with, and aside from the fortune of being born a white Westerner, it has nothing to do with how much money I have or whether I have a job. One does need an iPhone in order to find something to do with one's life.

Since you have never lived in real poverty I would not suspect you know anything as to what it is you are fucking talking about.

Like I said, i don't even own anything as valuable as an iPhone. Many people would consider me impoverished. I do not. Poverty is at least to some extent a subjective phenomena. Frankly, if you spend all your money on vastly overpriced consumer electronics then you can't complain that much about not having that money to also spend on food or whatever. If you have truly been on and off the streets for five years you really should have learnt that by now, and should really be thanking me for pointing out such a valuable lesson to you. But you won't, because it's not your way.

To Pink Dildo:

You forget that cellphone provider service costs money every month.

With a i-phone I hook into unlimited free wifi paying nothing at all.

As usual you are a idiot and impossible individual where this last post is me symbolically severing all ties of conversation with you.

Damn your holier than art thou attitude in life. I wish you the worse you miserable prick.

[FilmSnob]

Damn your holier than art thou attitude in life.

Amen.

Sure! Who do you think pays for that 'public' wi-fi? Someone has to. Gee, if it isn't you, who is it? The government and taxpayers?

[James L Walker]

To Lorraine: That does not really concern me.

[SIATD v2]

Where have I heard that before? Some people just can't help but express their every stupid little opinion (i.e. something they read in the paper) and I put it to you good sir that you are one such person.

[lizbethrose]

To Lorraine: That does not really concern me.

To James--This is your reply to me when I asked:

Sure! Who do you think pays for that 'public' wi-fi? Someone has to. Gee, if it isn't you, who is it? The government and taxpayers?

Isn't that CUTE1 Do you mind if I come back later--when your garage sale is winding down and everything is half-price?--You're ideas are just SO CUTE!--Umm, I don't think you could sort of--umm--save them for me--You know, kind of discourage other people from buying them?--No--Of course not--that wouldn't be fair, now, would it?--But they're just so DARNED CUTE!
