I didn't find I necessary to bring it up until now. I didn't realize I had to mention it for my points to be relevant. Glad you're arguing about my qualifications lol.

I mean, if you say I've been arguing with a homeless person, and that in turn makes your argument more legitimate, you should probably mention it from the get go.

Oh, I'm sure whoever you're helping really cares if you say his name and age on a post he'll never see. Wow, you're so amazing for knowing even the basic level of knowledge about a person.

I don't know, I think the times I've actually interacted with homeless people, aside from the fact that they are hungry and don't have a home, is that they feel that they are perceived as lesser-citizens or non-humans by society, that they have nothing to contribute. That can help be alleviated by us, as a society, treating them as humans, not just nameless second-class citizens.

Also, you kind of inadvertently contributed to my point. You're automatically assuming they don't care about their image being shared on social media, or worse, that you don't care if they do care.

But don't go around telling others not to give just because they want to make a post and don't know the guys name and age.

Yeah, that's not what I'm saying at all. I'm just saying either 1. give food and don't make a social media post about it or 2. If you are going to make a social media post, do it in a way that actually recognizes the homeless person as, well, a person, and show others how they can do the same, like the buckets person did. Don't make it about yourself.
