I'm happy to give money or food to the ones who are actually bad off, most especially the veterans whom this country fucked up the ass without lube or reacharound. Hell, I'd be all for a "safety net" for the worst off in this country so they can have housing and basic necessities of living instead of having to live under bridges. Whoever calls it "socialism" and bashes it like it's the worst, most un-American thing ever to take care of our worst off, can eat my ass with a side of dick... "socialism" for corporations, farmers, and religions is already alive and well in this country. But don't be sitting on the street, all able-bodied and having perfect diction and expect me to give you money just cuz you fucking demand it. And don't be surprised if I have nothing but contempt for you and your ilk after you bitch me out for not giving you money you didn't earn. You actually that hungry? Eat your dog.

The theory is, if they were after money, they should feel bad because of me being nice to them, or if they really needed the food, they got another warm meal for the time being. Thusfar, in about 2 years worth of trials, everyone whom I'd given the food to has been grateful for it, and didn't appear to be outwardly lying.

ENLIST!" Then I show them that "Military Employee of the Month" picture of a flag-covered casket from Futurama. Ya know, back before showing that picture was considered treason lol.

But seriously, if all of us bothered to actually know what we're talking about here (i.e. spent time around the homeless, do some research, etc.), it'd become really obvious really quickly that a large portion of these people are seriously mentally ill, and none of us would be laughing. @ Caio-

The last thing that any of the founders would have wanted is blind worship of guys who have been dead for 200 years. That said: fuck the homeless. Look at that guy's sneakers, there's no way those bright white shoelaces have been on the street for more than a few days. deuce is right, you see these kind of guys all the time in Portland, Seattle and SF, spanging for beer money off of tourists and going home to their yuppie parents in the suburb when things get really tough. “You support ideals and beliefs that are contrary to the beliefs of the founding fathers of America.”

It seems to me to be quite ponderous, a bit pragmatic (for lack of a better word), and republican in the traditional sense of the word, that is, suspicious of the old-world monarchical institutions of the day. But, I'm not sure how this one man's statement is against Freedom of Conscience. Care to enlighten me? By citing passages in context? I assume you’re referring to this:
