What, does your definition of homeless require them to have no more than 3 teeth?

 

[funkybunker]

I was homeless and nobody knew it, since you know, being homeless doesn't automatically make you smell funny and crippled.

No just no laptop.

Did not say you did, just find it strange that the are all clean and all have a laptop.

They should spit on those windows, and then wash them.

And, if they get hungry they can eat the pit bull. I hope they aren't playing the dog fighting game on those laptops.

There was a follow up article criticizing this article. The journalist lied about the numbers, and didn't let facts get in the way of a good story, taking advice straight from my boy Twain. Seriously though, this article is bullshit lol

You're right, and the cartoon above me about sums it up. TV commercials disguised as journalism.
Someone REALLY wants Bitcoins to become the "Amero".
