      read a little closer. i did. twice. no three times. wait. it’s practically all i talk about. why? because people are terrified of homeless people because they’re scared they’ll catch the poor from them. they think they are dangerous because of, well, bigotry.

      i thought i’d give an example of something most people view as a terrible life choice (i haven’t made a cent from it) that has been some of my life’s most rewarding work.

        You’re not clever. You can’t pull off playing at being that obtuse, it just makes you look stupid.

        Nobody else mentioned them, they were not part of the conversation, you injected the subject and then chose to be offensively pissed off about it.

          no, i’m pissed because she chose to say anyone who has gotten stabbed deserved it

          that if my life has led to a point where stabbing is a serious concern, I have already made some poor choices

          result of their own choices. blaming the victim.

          you are unfamiliar with what is called a red herring? go get some reading comprehension. you can pull off being that obtuse though.

          sorry i called out your anti-homeless bigotry though. have fun being a whiny bitch!

            You’re an angry little pissant. She said no such thing, she said if she couldn’t avoid ending up in a situation where stabbing is a serious concern she had made some poor choices. That’s extremely different from ‘getting stabbed is the victim’s fault’, which you chose to read it as. It’s the difference between being hit by a drunk driver vs being hit by another car after running a red light. She very clearly listed places she avoids to intentionally reduce the danger of being a victim. Sane non-rage filled people understand the idea of avoiding danger just as they understand that not all people can avoid those situations nor can all danger be predicted.
