let’s all pretend homeless guy was just trying to be witty. you gave him fast food, he gave you fast words. oh, post what you want to post. i thought about posting about the tsunami, but i figure i can help out in other ways. those who criticize other people’s blogs about what they post should start their own. off to vote…

It should make you think about all of the tsunami survivors that are being abused right now. Hard to believe, yet also easy to believe - and that’s what makes it suck most.

LOL! These things happen in a city. Glad you blogged about it.

I say, let the homesless guy have his fantasies. You helped him out, and while he shouldn’t have said it, you made his day

No, dissenting opinions aren’t cowardly.

ANONYMOUS dissenting opinions are.

Are all dissenting (sp) opinions cowardly? And if so, why? I read the posts made about P & C not mentioning the Tsunami Disaster, and I didn’t find them cowardly or rotten. Maybe the poster(s) just had something to say in regards to the bloggers bitching/purring about Mc Desperate’s/cashmere at such a dreadful time? Didn’t your parents or friends ever say to you, (when you were complaining about something that wasn’t a matter of life or death): *Quit yer bitchin’! You could be starving in Bangladesh!*? Jesus, ease down there, JozJozJoz!

I enjoy reading blogs as a guilty pleasure, sort of like listening to ABBA or eating KFC extra-crispy. Most weblogs are totally inane/insipid, but are fascinating to read, if not just for the simple fact that the bloggers themselves think they are fascinating enough to read about. That’s all.

Wow. Well, I’m still glad you bought him burritos, even if he wanted to be freaky. Also, I think it’s ridiculous that anyone would critisize someone for not writing about the tsunami. High-horse syndrome, I guess.

Great post and very cool you did that. I have to admit that I haven’t blogged about it b/c I’m not sure there’s more to say, you know? Also, I am a tad frustrated that there are still a lot of people here who could use help and charity donations, like the American Cancer Society or the Salvation Army.

It was just a clumsy way to end the conversation. I bet he was genuinely grateful, and what you did was a very good thing.
