McD's should give their food away to the homeless

I'm still not convinced that bobbo is not a mole.

Some of my "liberalism" comes from my brother.

He has autism and has schizophrenia, he is unable to care for himself and never will be.

I'm in a difficult position, the cost of his care is something neither my parents or myself would ever be able to afford, and without a trained professional providing an environment that he can feel comfortable in, he is violent.

I don't want anyone providing my brother with certain rights.  That is dangerous to everyone.  I don't want my brother in prison either.

I suspect Bobo has a severe mental illness.  My heart honestly bleeds for her.  I don't think she is physically dangerous but I believe she is a strain to the rest of society.

I also believe absent her illness Bobo would be a productive member of society.

So here is the debate, what are Bobo's rights to deny herself care, and what is societies responsibility to Bobo.

Just another curiosity question than, should she be allowed to even post on a message board? it just seems she's angry all the time, and yes she has an excuse if she's mentally ill, but should others be subjected to her rants? and what if she was driven over the edge? is there any responsibility that would befall that board? I think if I had a board I'd be very concerned for all involved, especially when discussions get heated.

I always thought so too, but the mental illness factor makes a lot of sense.

That doesn't mean she isn't someone that doesn't go war driving and knows the local hotspots.

Frankly picking on Bobo is like mocking the demon possessed people Jesus restored to sanity.

I do believe if Bobo were as mentally deranged as some of you think, the cops would have picked her up for being a danger to herself or others.  I get instead the picture of a woman, who if NOT a mole (and I think she may well be) is in fact perfectly "normal" but bitter and twisted up inside until she's like this festering pustule on society.
Even assuming she did lose a child to a murderer, one only needs to look at the other 99% of folks who lose children to horrible causes to notice that they aren't out to shit on the world.  My sister, my mother-in-law, my best friend, and many others I know and have known have lost children to causes natural and unnatural and, although some are diagnosed with mental illnesses, do NOT, do NOT go around 30 years later biting the hands that reach out to them.  At some point, rejecting any smidgen of sympathy says a hell of a lot more about YOU than it does about societal conditions at large.
How many people on this board truly believe bobo would give two shakes of a lamb's tail about the plight of the homeless if a) she wasn't in that same boat and b) if she suddenly won the lottery.  Think she'd spend all of her millions on buying mansions for the destitute?
I think not.  I think if she was't bitching about homelessness she'd be bitching about something else.

Just because you aren't of clear mind doesn't mean you walk around assaulting people.  Nor does it mean you are a danger to others.

The self or others is the 1980s definition, how is it working do you think.

Off of BoBo for a second and back onto the subject of San Francisco and the homeless.....didn't the city give all the homeless $800 a month just because they're homeless and on the streets.....now they wonder why they have homeless people lying around on the sidewalks.

They spend all their money on weed/wine and then cry about dollar meals. Retards.

The rage she displays can not only be limited to the time she's online. If she's really mental, she would most certainly go off on people in a face to face setting, thus scaring the shit out of them resulting in official intervention by the authorities.

She has to be a mole. She could be a driver for a beer distributor or some similar type job that takes her all over Denver. Remember, she does have an iPod.

Ipod really doesn't say much.  Someone might have given it to her, she might have picked it up in a pawn shop.  She may have stolen it.

You can buy cards for music at a store for cash so the credit card argument is moot.

She can have an ipod, use public places to charge it, and even download songs from public computers and internet cafes.

You're correct is stating it's irrelevant where she got it. The point is that it allows her to get online anywhere there is a hot spot. Hence the different IP addresses while posting at OET.

If she is a mole, she is the greatest one ever created.

No doubt. She's articulate, so she has some education. How much is anybody's guess.

View her posts from the perspective of her being a mole for a few weeks and then tell what you believe.

Haight-Ashbury homeless think McDonalds dropped 'dollar menu' to get rid of them

It went up to a $1.50...the menu wasn't "dropped'.

And it's a homeless advocate groupsmouthpiece that is insinuating it was done to help with Mayor Newsom's anti-loitering law he's trying to get passed.

But hey why let a good lie get in the way of the truth.

The double cheeseburger used to be a $1.  It is now a $1.50.  Silly me, I assumed McDonald's made a business decision.  I buy less double cheeseburgers because the price increased.

That supply and demand curve.

You're speaking of things that most DUmmies don't understand...and the ones that do despise.

San Francisco did something because I remember reading something a few years ago that some residents were complaining that homeless people were coming from all over and settling in San Francisco.

Oh, she is.  If bobo is actually a "she".

Anyone who posts with an iphone (it is an iphone, not an ipod), uses every single liberal cliche and hot button to paint the DUmbasses into a corner, and threadjacks without fear of retaliation (being the liberal protected class of  "homeless") is a genius.

A twisted one, mind you, but a genius nonetheless. 

He/she/it has managed to take every single thing that libs have used against everyone else and turn them (brilliantly, I might add) back on their creators.  They don't know how to react and when they do, it doesn't end well. 

A mole, Jake, and a damned good one.  Well past the level of mole seventhson.

[DumbAss Tanker]

I don't think she's really a mole, I just think she's certifiably nuts, more combative than Mike Tyson, and has an insatiable craving for attention.
