This is something I don't understand. Occasionally you hear about people volunteering in a soup kitchen that feeds homeless people.Why? Why can't they make the homeless people do the work? I don't get it. Posted by TheCatt on Nov. 12 2011,16:35
I'm guessing you've never done it before then.

Hell no. They can cook their own damn soup.

(thibodeaux @ Nov. 12 2011,22:07) QUOTE Hell no. They can cook their own damn soup. Most of them cannot. It's really a sad place. Although, at the soup kitchen I volunteered at the most, one of the "volunteers" was one of the homeless. So, I guess he did. You should volunteer sometime and see. Spend a few nights at a homeless shelter too, while you're at it. Every time people talk about cutting out welfare or similar programs, I think of the people I met at the homeless shelters, soup kitchens, and other aid places I volunteered. Most of these people have nothing, in a way that almost none of us see daily. Posted by thibodeaux on Nov. 13 2011,06:40
I have had enough experience taking care of helpless, useless people: I am raising two children.

The homeless tend to be better conversationalists.
