    Would it be too insensitive to write a sitcom about the lives of homeless people?

    Most are serious drug addicts.

    I came up with some really good material.

    I feel like many networks would refuse.

    Maybe HBO.

    I am moving at the end of August to a neighborhood with very few homeless people.

    Already been done.
    Sanford & son.

    Lots of other shows too.
    Littlest Hobo, Sesame St. (None of those puppets had houses except Bert & Ernie. (Oscar was obviously homeless.


    I'd still submit a pilot script. I think you still might be onto something here.

      Maybe a big brother style reality show would be more appropriate.

          Back to the drawing board. Fuk.

          Though my show would be way edgier.

                    Yeah I am trying to think of which one it was.

                    I think its the Sponge, the chick who seems like she has no faults and then Jerry sees the closet full of Sponges.

                    Edit: I googled it. It is that episode.

                              many homeless people are a victim of their own circumstances but there are others who just had some bad luck. A company I worked with sponsored charity fundraisers and events so I met many people who were once homeless. Sometimes medical bills or a lawsuit combined with a divorce just hit them all at once and they lost everything almost instantly. Lots of interesting stories, even the ones that fell because of an addiction. Listening to them does make you grateful

                                      Mo I thought this had a video. Very disappointed. Also you should grow a lemon tree on your patio and hand out lemons to the homeless people. You know, for irony.

                                        No but I have tried.

                                        When I invited her she rejected me.

                                        How would I ever use that shower again?

                                        I drowned my sorrows in 5 more beers and chili cheeseburger sliders.

                                          I am sorry Jaker.

                                          Usually when I post threads with videos, the title begins with "Video:"

                                          Im not sure why I do that. Clickbait I guess.

                                          Not my patio. Just one across the street from my building.

                                          I have to move out in 9 days.

                                          I will miss my current neighbhorhood.

                                          Maybe I will leave them something to remember me by.

                                          Will a lemon tree grow if I just bury the lemon?

                                          I will need to be quick.

                                            Mo maybe it was wishful thinking on my part. No apology needed.

                                            I don't think burying a lemon works, but I really don't know. I've never tried that method. I usually cut clones.

                                            GL on your new place with fewer homeless drug addicts.

                                                There are homeless people in canada? I thought you guys we're more progressive than that?

Especially when you buy something and walk out with it in hand now that's entitlement.

                                                          Teaser I think you are thinking of someone else.

                                                          I live in Toronto. I am not a big fan of Montreal or Quebec in general.

                                                          Bikers not very active in and around the city. They operate but not at any visible level.

                                                          Most of the gang activity here is just like in the states.

                                                          Also the Vietnamese. They are not to be fukked with.

                                                          HA is very active in Quebec from what I have heard. I think Montreal's problem is mostly Italian crime families.

                                                                Vancouver has a real problem with homeless drug addicts.

                                                                Some parts of town have areas that are dense with them and you do not have to look for to see the guy who has nodded off with a needle still in their arm.

                                                                Cops do not do anything about it there. The bums can be quite aggressive in both Toronto and Montreal. I find they keep to themselves more out west.

                                                                If I am drunk I will usually aggressively reject homeless people when they ask me for change for the third time.

                                                                "Got any change?"
                                                                "No sorry man."
                                                                "Seriously anything would really help."
                                                                "Sorry man I ain't got shit other than a subway token."
                                                                "If you could just spare something-"
                                                                "What the fuk did I just say man? Get the fuk outta here."
