To the damn lady on Spring Garden in Halifax. Yeah I’m sitting on the street with a green mohawk, leather jacket, combat boots, and a huge blanket wrapped around me. I’m a punk so what? Don’t insult me and my coffee cup. I heard your dirty mouth when you said “He can’t go anywhere with hair like that. What an ugly man.” and I also heard you say something about how all kids are doomed.
FYI, not all kids these days are fucked up. You don’t know my problems, so don’t judge me. It’s people like you who need to get a good kick in the ass. —Beggar Punk, Lovin’ Life

OB, you will always be judged on how you look. If you want to look like a homeless punk living on the streets, that’s how society will see you. How about cleaning up your act, getting an education, and then a career, instead of sitting on a curb with a blanket bumming money from hard working people. Or better yet, join those moronic asshole Occupy NS dimwits.
please, you LOVE it. You were waiting all year for someone “who doesn’t get it” to say something just like this so you could express your pretentious indignation. You’re acting like she commented on the colour of your skin or something.. You know.. something that isn’t a choice.
I hate attitudes like hers.. but i ALSO hate posers.
You aren’t a punk, you are just an imitator of what you think a punk is. That lady may not know your problems, but you don’t know hers either. No one cares about your problems, so painting your hair green isn’t really all that intriguing. Get off the main street of our town. Get a job, Go away.
AHAHA a ‘begger’ with internet.
Or a smart phone.
Nothing would surprise me these days.
Here are Bill Gates thoughts on the lessons kids don’t learn in school:
Rule 1: Life is not fair — get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won’t care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won’t be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping — they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it’s not your parents’ fault, so don’t whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren’t as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you are. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent’s generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools they have abolished failing grades and they’ll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn’t bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don’t get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you’ll end up working for one.
cool story bro ^
OB, where do I start? Nevermind, you’ll just be insulted by constructive criticism anyway, that’s why you’re bumming change from productive members of society on their way to WORK.
FFS, why are you sitting on the sidewalk begging!? Have you no self-respect? Why should anyone show you respect when you won’t even respect yourself?
Well apparently, you are “Lovin’ Life” so who cares?
…
She insulted your coffee cup too!! I don’t know how you stand for it OP.
lol I guess that L word is really getting tossed around freely these days, eh Mel.
I wear a Vuarnet France t-shirt and get the same damn treatment, OP.
Yes…it is hard to take this seriously, as you were begging with a cup…get a job 🙂
Get a job and salute the flag hippy.
Every time you eat a steak, a hippy’s hackey sack goes in the gutter. “awww, maaaaan!”

Ob, it sounds like you have gone through a great deal of effort to look a certain way but resent the attention that it gets.
Yes Tommy, it should only be used when talking to cats.
if you are a begger punk, then whose laptop did you steal to write this on? and also, green hair, you are a fucking freak that deserves to be shipped off to a desert island someplace far away. that being said, have anice day.
