    i am really only interested in not-even-half-way down the west coast
    if that counts as 'around the country'
    then, by gosh, sure!

    I'm gonna go everywhere. And then probably some other places, because a year is a long time for hoboing.

    Alright, listen up straight people. This thread is so incredibly wrong and offensive. I mean hobos are people too, with emotions and feelings and everything. It's cruel how you all are objectifying them and treating them like animals.

    Today's still not opposite day right?

    The raptors are going to eat you now.

    Well see there's this problem I have with that,

    if I can help it, I prefer my body uneaten.

    But I'm flexible so let the dongs fall where they may

    I think about disappearing on a regular basis.

    Withdrawing all of my money, taking a handful of posessions, and just walking east.

    Then I'd come back in a year and see what happened.

    It seems like a very pure way to see how much impact I really have on things.

    I don't like the withdrawing my money part. Something seems wrong about that. It'd make it feel like I have considerably less to come back to. Also like I'm not a true hobo because I could actually buy train tickets.

    The lack of humility before nature that's being displayed here, uh... staggers me.

    Well, I wouldn't be a hobo, I'd be a drifter. It's not the same thing.

    They look like some sort of neo-gypsy.

    Meaning: Posers.

    Plus, hobos don't just travel, they work. Mexican itinerants have more in common with the ancient hobo than the bums of today do.

    Wow, like Kings.



    I found a guy in a house like this once hidden deep off the trail of a park near an elementary school. I was nice enough not to rat on him for staying there and he thanked me by trying to molest some kids a week later.

    I can't see these as hobos.
    All I see are gypsies.
    Maybe I am hopeful.

    Many look too upbeat to be hobos. And young. But maybe this is just coming from the hobo stereotype.

    I saw a hobo today in San Diego. He was panhandling. He was collecting money in a hat and his sign said "Traveling, any amount will help."

    So, his credentials checked out. He seemed legit.

    I think most of those people are the kind of people that think it's cool not to have a job even though there are plenty and they like to be separate from society and earn money by bugging the shit out of me on my way to the subway

    also they probably sit around in those stupid drum circles doing Caporiea and for some reason most people I know think they are cool.

    Just bugs me because one time this guy is outside a place asking for food and he's standing right in fucking front of their "Help Wanted" sign.

    The other side of the coin is that, once someone's homeless it can be extremely difficult to get back into the labor market. How many employers are going to hire someone that doesn't have a permanent address, a phone #, a place where they can routinely bathe and launder their clothes, and so on? Sure, there are some lazy people out there but it's also myopic to say, "hey, here's a help wanted sign, go get a job you bum."
