I’m talking about canvassers, the homeless, the fucking street kids that turn up when the weather is nice.
Stop giving them money and cigarettes! There are charities in town that will provide a bed and food with money from donations. They need the donations. The “spread the love give change” fucking furries on 6th don’t.
And as far as canvassers go? That’s what the Internet is for. Yes, I do have a minute for gay rights. No I don’t have a minute for your “HI HOW ARE YOU” from a block down.
I was the anonymous that wrote about being nice to people a few months ago. Well fuck that I say. I’m fed up to the teeth with being harassed every time I leave my house and ear buds have ceased to work. So people of Portland, let’s band together and make it pointless to canvass and beg on the street. With a loud community no I might be able to smoke a cigarette or buy a cup of coffee without ever hearing the words “you wouldn’t happen to have x would you?” ever ever again.
(And of course there will be some HOW VERY DARE YOU COMMENTS. Fuck you bleeding hearts. It’s not my problem if you just want someone to talk to you. That’s what personals are for. See that link over there —-> CLICK IT)
Great – another fucking smoker polluting the sidewalks….
I’m surprised you could be bothered by anyone what with your head so far up your ass. Go back to OregonLive.
The Dialog Direct chuggers (“charity muggers”) have gotten a lot less pushy than they used to, but I’ll still never give my credit card number to someone who accosts me on the street. It’s so easy and so much more secure to donate online.
I like handing out cold refreshing beer to them. Everyone needs a cold beer, especially people standing in the sun all day begging…
Mars, a little polution might do you some good.
It reads now as if they are gonna run away from Anon in fear of bringing down the pest on them. What an hyperbole. The goodness and all the grace of god is in them, with an incredible amount of generosity. Good people can do better.
Thank you!!
Seriously, who gives money to the people standing by the freeway on-ramps!?! Feel guilty about something?
@Anon: seriously, what do you care what other people are feeling? Are you the judge jury and the executioner? Fucking Snob. Seriously. You write as if you have poo beneath your nose. I will give you a 6 month MAD magazine suscription so you can get some good education, for real.

HOW VERY DARE YOU.
Anon2 – Fine, give people money and drive away all puffed up from your wondrous generosity, but that guy you just gave $0.73 is laughing at you. You live in a fantasy land.
These “do you have a moment for gay rights?” people remind me of a nightmare I had in high school before coming out where I had to approach people in an auditorium and introduce myself as a homo and wait for their reaction. Some hugged me, some smacked me. I give them a very wide berth so I don’t add to the misery of their job.
Other canvassers however I’d like to use as my personal stress dolls. They are worse than the homeless and smokeless smokers by leaps and bounds, except for those asshole street kids who sit around for the sole purpose of harassing passersby.
