"It makes people want to go shopping at boring stores and chain restaurants in the suburbs instead of the exciting stores and restaurants in downtown." Oh, boo hoo, poor you.
Homeless people have no place to go during the day, she said. They can't stay in homeless shelters, and they can't loiter or sleep outside, she said. That's another thing that pisses me off - the way poor people aren't allowed to sleep in parks, etc. I mean, why don't we just kill them all? Then they wouldn't make us uncomfortable anymore, and they wouldn't be poor anymore. That'd be a perfect solution!
I feel sick...
Oh, a poll:
Instant Poll: Should the city license panhandlers?
- Yes, it's a great idea
- Not sure if it's worth the cost
- It's not practical
- Forget the license -- just crack down
- Don't know/don't care
Where's "No, they should be allowed to panhandle." or "I wish they didn't have to panhandle in the first place."?
One last rant on this topic: I'm not sure of the details, but did you know that homeless people are required to spend the last of their month's welfare on a hotel/motel? They're not allowed to save any of it. [I just did a little google search, and it seems that the reason for this is that they need to spend their money in order to stay at the poverty level, so the stupidity is the general paranoid lock-in in an attempt to keep people from abusing welfare. ARGH! Even if some people do abuse welfare, is that a good enough reason to screw everyone else over?)
A little feel-good article after that crap.
And some exploding toads, for good measure.
I registered for fall semester today. I'm taking third semester Japanese (5 credits - even if I can't take 1012 this summer, I don't care), physics 1301 (4 credits), and psychology 1001 (4 credits - not the online section, unfortunately, but at least it's a night section).
Damn, I just got a call from Yaron. Lucky's very sick (she was in the emergency room yestereday) and I need to work. THAT'S THE SECOND WEEK I'M MISSING MAS! Second episode of Paranoia Agent, third and fourth episodes of Master Keaton, Kaze no Yojimbo, and Princess Tutu, and at the end of the series, no-less. I might as well not go to the rest of the semester, things will have been speeding along to the end so fast.
