An Alternate Life, Help support my project Options

[cmac]

because i said i'm not profiting from their situation. i'm giving them money. i'm making a donation. The bum fights dvds are profiting from the homeless' situation. there's a difference. i wanted to clarify that, that's why i said it.

i'm missing the sniffing glue comments? there are many debates regarding the homeless. this is part of the point of the project. i'm not seeing any negativity towards my project except yours.

making something creative, bringing notification to the homeless, entertaining peoples curiosity, learning, and having fun. i'm not trying to save the world.

if you don't wanna help, i'm ok with that, but i find it hard to see how anyone could see this as a stupid idea. i'm sure someone here is interested in this project outside of being critical which is why i posted it.

Sorry, but donating to the homeless isn't an issue I go out of my way to support. There are other causes that I see as more important. Good luck on your project though.

Pretty much every post in the thread save for yours or pysex's are negative... see post 4 for glue sniffing comments

i never said i wasn't going to profit from it.

i'm not profiting from their situation.

Is this like the "I think the Rockets will win it" then 3 posts later and after game 3 "Lakers in 5"?

Entertainment... I guess... having fun... I guess if that's what gets your rocks off. Never said you were trying to save the world. Just wondering what you hope to accomplish. Like I said, giving homeless people money is like giving a fat person who doesn't want to change that a giant cake. Give them a bottle of booze or a jacket or something. Anything but cash money. You do that you might as well just go buy the crack for em.

i'm pretty sure dogmeat's comment is a shot at the homeless, not about the project.


do you not see a difference in these two statements?
i don't wish to profit from the plight of the homeless.
i don't wish to profit from this project.

huge difference. please refer to forsakn's comment about you taking things out of context.

Give them a bottle of booze or a jacket or something.

i just might. the #1 goal is not supporting the homeless. i just wanna give them something for their effort. i'd rather them do something productive, but that's not my call.

I didn't say what they were referring to, but they sure seemed negative to me.

There's zero difference. Your project is about the plight of the homeless. If you profit from it then you will be profiting from the plight of the homeless. It's not out of context at all.

Chuck, you're just like my roommate Paxton. While I think that the homeless are doing it by choice in this country, but it isn't a bad thing to do. So what if they want to get smashed and drink? You drive a big truck, use up lots of resources using your computer and such not. We are all guilty of doing things and pointing out the weaknesses of others. It isn't about anyone being righteous, although Cmac my see himself as that. Its just a thing to do, some people like it some think its bad.

I don't have a problem with the homeless doing their thing and didn't say it was a bad thing to do. In fact I mentioned that I thought there was a certain appeal to being "disconnected".
