I sincerely wish you one day get the opportunity to travel the world and see something other than your backwater town in bumfuck nowhere, USA (everywhere in the USA is bumfuck nowhere USA)
It's true, until i left the country i had no idea that you could go somewhere and feel a sense of "a stranger will give a shit if I lay bleeding on the street."
in the imo incredible graphic novel Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, the author and protagonist makes note of how, in Iran, if you were sleeping on a park bench someone would come to you and offer you respite. In Austria -- where she fled to during the Islamic Revolution -- she was homeless for weeks and would sleep on park benches. Nobody stopped to check on her.
well at least the US isn't like that. in the US it's not acceptable to people when others have to sleep on benches and if someone does have no choice but to sleep on a bench they wouldn't be ignored.
because the benches are modified so she'd have to sleep in the gutter and rather than be ignored she would get a healthy dose of ridicule and hate from regular people around her before being beaten by the same cops that poured bleach in the dumpster to poison any throw away food she might have found there. progress.
