Mahalo for the update, KapohoJoe. Good.
Additionally, the "aloha spirit" has been resurrected, as this man received a donated prosthesis, and more! Mahalo to the caring people of Puna, and elsewhere. [

PT/Leilanidude, lol! Y'all are too much... Mahalo for the giggle in a horrible story.

One of my best friends was homeless, and went on to found a business and employ other people in her neighborhood. I know another homeless guy that likes to demand handouts, get high, and damage property. Being homeless (or wheelchair bound) has no bearing on whether you're a good person or an asshole.
Last time I was near the Tin Shack, I heard some guys discussing how to panhandle effectively while they sipped their lattes and ate pastry. It's a shame bums like that are abusing people's good will, when there are others truly in need.
Randomq, good afternoon to you.
You do make some interesting points. Although a bit insensitive I think, when you start calling or labeling some homeless, bums looking to take advantage or "hussle" others too. Well or better off folks have been known to hussle or take advantage of others too, especially during possible life and death situations.
Would you just stop eating, drinking, and trying to live better, if you became homeless yourself?
And what should the average homeless persons conversations be about?
Can't imagine homeless folks having to many life or worldly positives they would want to converse about. Especially if they must remain hungry and thirsty while conversing about the better off, that do their best to ignore them on an everyday basis. Jmo

Keep in mind, there are three kind of homeless people..
Those who dont want to be homeless...
Those who do want to be homeless..
And those that are in a state of mind to not know the difference.
Conversation may vary between classes of homeless.

Or " I wish they'd build that shopping center so we could get some construction work..rather than panhandle, drink lattes, and eat pastries all day."
