Only if I'm taller than they are
by Kierafaye on June 7th, 2009
It would be pretty hypocritical if I did
I'm thankfully not in the position anymore but my mother, sister, and I struggled hard and were homeless for awhile. thank god for 24hr diners
by Firebrand on June 7th, 2009
No , there but for the Grace of God.
We never know the circumstances which have put people in their position
Everyone has a story.
by Anonymous on June 7th, 2009
That's an odd question; not sure what the implication is. I work with a chronically mentally ill population, many of whom were homeless at some point. From where I stand, if anything, I look up :)

No, NEVER anyone could end up there oneday..

Never, we all have our diffulculties in life. Who are we to judge others.

Sheeet! I ain't *that* big an asshole!

Never because I'm always thinking that I could always be where they are in an instant.

Absolutely not, they are people, they deserve respect.

Poor, Homeless.. those ain't bad words. Why should one then look down on them?
by StemnyJones on June 7th, 2009
No. Most of them are veterans. Some of them that I know personally are drug addicts who are trying to recover and just fell on hard times.
I don't look down upon anyone who isn't purposely doing something unfriendly.
by leeks5229 on June 7th, 2009
God forbids! No, I do not look down on the poor or homeless. I would like to care for them as much as I could as the Lord enables me.
by An American Girl on June 7th, 2009
No, I worry about the homeless and have studied generational/situational poverty. It's very complicated, but so much of it has to do with what class you are born/raised in. Many homeless are mentally ill and with support and medication, they would be able to function at a higher level.
by Piano Player on June 7th, 2009
Nope. I try to help when I can.
by Zenrean on June 7th, 2009
No.
by jin jang on June 7th, 2009
I wish I could do something for them to uplift their lives.I mean in a concrete way by finding them good jobs to get them on their feet again.Giving them money and food is just a small part of really helping them.
by King of the Cheeses on June 7th, 2009
Only if I know it's their own fault, eg- drug addict. I feel sorry for their kids though.
by therapist on June 7th, 2009
no I feel sorry for them. I am blessed to have a job with health insurance but some people no matter how hard they try can't even find a job. My husband and I are barely surviving as it is. I can't imagine what it's like to have to wonder where your next meal will come from or are you going to make it to the shelter tonight before the beds fill up. EVeryone of us is one paycheck or disaster away from it ourselves.
by Kizz miazz on June 7th, 2009
No never, I feel for them. Most people today are one paycheck away themselves. You can lose your job and your life could be changed to the point of homelessness, it happens now all too frequently.
by Miss Anubis loves this season on June 7th, 2009
Nope, I'm far from being wealthy myself
by Crystal on June 7th, 2009
No.
by Starmaster on June 7th, 2009
No, I feel sorry for them. At the same time, it makes me feel lucky that I have everything I need to live a decent life.
by EmptyWallet on September 18th, 2009
I'm on the 15th floor of my condominimum building.
How can I not look down on them??
Oh and every week or so I toss a loaf of bread down to them..Last week the guy actually caught it!!
by Moongrim on June 8th, 2009
Only those who are determined to stay that way.
by Summer on October 30th, 2009
No. There was a time that I was very poor. I had no money in the bank, and I was struggling to make ends meet. I don't look down on them, instead I volunteer in soup kitchens and etc. I know what it's like to be poor.

Usually, but that's just because I'm 6'4".
by Kitt-tastrophy on June 7th, 2009
Only the ones whose only excuse is laziness!
by ZiggyStardust on November 24th, 2009
Yes, but only because they sit on the floor!
by hallagan on November 24th, 2009
