By what logic?

And no one ran away, merely avoided. I merely found it humorous that he was using this prop in the manner he did. It also occurs to me that if he is disabled to the point of needing a wheelchair, he is also eligible for social security, public housing, etc.

In your post, you complained about the behavior of one person (wheelchair dude) and then made generalized statements about homeless people (this one guy annoyed me --> they annoy me). Without even getting into the substance of what you're saying, that's, uh, lame.

Running away and avoiding are pretty much the same thing in this situation, cowboy.

It seems like what you're saying (and I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong) is that you feel you should not have to deal with strangers who want something from you addressing you in public.

I laughed so hard at that I fully believe I just woke up my roommate.

I disagree. We can beg to choose or we can choose to beg. In fact, those are the two groups that homeless people fall into. Those who beg to choose. Those who choose to beg.
