Anonymous Ever wonder why so many of Victoria's homeless have piercings/ tattoos? Maybe it's just me but piercings are fucking expensive and if I was homeless, I wouldn't spend 60 bucks on a piercing, I'd get me some food - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:00pm
Anonymous Who says they didn't pierce it themselves?? $0. down 0% financing - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:08pm
Anonymous true true. but it would get mighty infected - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:11pm
S.V. I dunno, I pierced my nose with a safety pin and it never got infected...go figure. - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 2:14pm

Why would it even matter to you if you're not the one giving them money?... I've done 6 various self piercings and none of them have gotten infected or even irritable. - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 4:28pm
Eh - Did you have money for rubbing alcohol or something of the like? I bet you did! Street kids are different now adays. Its about appearence. - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 5:18pm

I totally agree!
Even if they do the piercing themselves, the Jewelry costs an arm and a leg.
Also if you can't afford to feed yourself why the fuck do you have three dogs and a kitten on a leash?
I never give these fuckers any money, sorry but there is ALWAYS another alternative to jonesin' change.
Get a life you crusty, stinky hippies and quit asking me for beer money! - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 5:20pm
- If yuppies are stupid enough to toss 'em some money then so be it, all for the better. If you think it's so fucked up how they're sitting there, "doing nothing" and getting money with all these piercings which they spent oh so much money on, oh boo fucking hoo! Sometimes I just sit on the street because I feel like it and people still give me money and I ain't expecting it. You people sicken me!! - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 6:39pm

Anonymous Nah I totally give homeless folk money and im not against homeless people in any way i just find it interesting that they a) have the money to get something pierced b) have the money to buy the jewlery and c) have a clean environment to clean it in. Im not homeless and i cant seem to keep my piercings from getting infected even though I don't live on the streets and have an environment to clean them in... tis just curiousity my friends, nothing more, nothing less - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 8:24pm

"homeless people should get off there ass and get homes."

Ignorant cunt. That's like telling a horse to grow horns. - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 8:33pm
S.V. The evolution of piercings/tats are definitely a sign of changing times....in my day it was self piercing and homemade tattoo guns. Why the youth of today just don't know how lucky they are ;) - Tue, 21 Jan 2003 9:07pm

I'd rather give to a squeegee kid that's trying to actually do something to make a buck than a homeless person that sits there, but I'll still give some change if I have it. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 12:19am
ShitStick When I lived on the street I did it because I was a shit. If someone wants to get their ass off the street then they will. If not, then you'll see them sitting there in 10 years, like the people that I used to hang out with. "Spare any change for a bite to eat today, ma'am?" What a load. Bite my ass, more like it. There's too many places to eat for free around than to actually pay for food when someone is homeless.
As for the piercings, I got friends to do them and bought the jewlery off of people I knew who made it. CRAZY, EH?! - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 12:28am
groy Hey I'm homeless and I have a computer and the internet. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 4:39pm
brooke Grow horns! C'mon, grow 'em! Grow, you can do it... please... for me?


Stupid horses; getting them to grow horns is as hard as getting people with homeless DNA to find a home. - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 5:15pm
Homeyless Anyone notice how the homeless population tends to include a crap load of aprox 15 year old punk girls during the summer who aern't homeless as soon as it gets cold? - Wed, 22 Jan 2003 5:19pm
