The library allows homeless people to be inside it from open to close. They give them free internet. They give them free help filling out necessary government forms. They hang around just to chat. They allow homeless people to sleep outside all around the building. They are literally building a shower and a washer/dryer facility in the new auxiliary library free for anyone to use.
In America, your local public library does more to help homeless people than anything you have probably done yourself, but I guess since they haven’t personally solved the problem, they’re the worst of the oppressors.
And:
As I told someone else- homeless people can be in the library from open to close. They can sleep on library property. They have free access to all library services including free internet, help accessing all kinds of government aid, and just having someone to talk to them if they’re lonely. In another branch, the library is putting in a shower and a washer/dryer for anyone to use for free.
But yes, they took away a few benches because of problem people rather than calling the cops.
Not that it will help, since I didn’t remove anything. I made it clear from the top that my wife is the one work works at this library. You’re not only too lazy to read other people’s responses, you’re too lazy to read what you’re responding to.
But please prove me wrong and tell me how you’ve done so much more for the homeless than this and other public libraries. Go for it.
I’m surprised that someone who has a wife who’s done so much for homeless doesn’t understand the very basic point I’m trying to make.
Your wife doesn’t absolve herself of removing benches by doing a million things for the homeless. It doesn’t work that way. It has never worked that way. And it will never work that way.
Pretending that it does, does not help homelessness. It hurts it big time. It hurts homelessness way more than removing benches. Because you are pretending that you can take anything away from them as long as you make up for it in other ways. By your metric not by theirs.
Also I never said I did a lot for homeless people. I think I volunteered at a food bank once. But I never took anything away from them. But I am still part of the problem like everyone else is.
Apparently except for you, You’re a special birthday boy who has a wife that does a lot of stuff for homeless people.
I read it all, I only responded to the parts that I felt were worth responding to. The rest was hot garbage from somebody who’s a special birthday boy.
I know you’re lying because I never once talked about myself or how special or great I am. First you lied about the one person doing drugs and now you’re lying about this.
For the record: I am not special or great or anything positive. I am one of the worst people on this planet. By far.
Here, let me refresh your memory from your original post:
“The library here really did have to remove benches outside in a couple of places (in part) because of homeless people.”
"Unfortunately, some (far, far from most) of the local homeless around the library were either very publicly using drugs or getting so fucked up on those drugs (or possibly just having a really bad mental illness episode) that they were harassing people and scaring kids. "
So there was more than one person doing drugs? What is your point?
You know, your wife probably feels bad about removing the benches. She probably doesn’t claim that it had to be done. She probably tried to figure out how to keep the benches.
I thought this was about you claiming I was saying I was special and great and terrific and all that.
I mean I don’t know why you would lie about someone as awful as me saying something about that about myself, but if you’re going to pretend you never even said it, I think there’s no point in continuing. And before you ask, I have no idea why she’s married to me either. Probably super low self-esteem. If I didn’t have a child who depended on me, it wouldn’t be something she would have to worry about.
I just said that you were a “special birthday boy” because it seemed to me that you think you are above the homeless societal issues. You never addressed any of my points. It’s like you never read any of my replies where I kept repeating myself that my problem isn’t that your wife removed benches.
Now, I agree, you are awful, right now. But you know what, I have faith in you. I know you got the stuff to do better. Work on yourself. Drop the birthday boy attitude and come back a lion! Don’t do it for me, do it for you!
No, every homeless person in this world is better than me.
And no, I don’t have the stuff to do better.
So I’m not sure why you’re still lying about this supposed attitude of mine where I’m not worse than almost everyone else, you definitely included.
Like I said, if there wasn’t someone who depended on me, this would not be anyone’s problem.
Also, your “I have faith in you” is another lie. No you don’t. Stop lying. Just because you’re better than me doesn’t mean you get to keep lying to me.
Okay, well since you’re lazy, I’ll help you:

Good job not responding to almost anything I said. It proves you don’t read.

Does she know your posting this shit online?
