... because what they need more than your pity, is a bit of bloody privacy

Welcome [brand new]. Where are these blinds to be hung, distributed, and/or stored? And isn't giving a set of venetian blinds to homeless persons another form of pity? And why is your pity better than my pity? |
|
| |
... thank you for the welcome ... maybe I should add that they need money and accomodation, above venetian blinds, but all of these above pity. |
|
| |
Its not an invention, its an idea. I've been lurking for quite a while and I think I can post ideas? |
|
| |
are there different forms of pity [k_sra]? |
|
| |
think you can post ideas as well as inventions here [brandnew] so welcome. |
|
| |
this idea is a bit short of taste but high on quirkiness. Looks like [benfrost] might have a rival... |
|
| |
don't benfrost's idea usually involve bodily fluids ? |
|
| |
[johngeologist], that's just my point. I don't think there are very significant types of pity, only different actions brought out by that pity or some other emotional stimulus. [brandnew] condemns our pity and then proceeds to hang useless accoutrements on the local destitute out of some sort of ... pity. |
|
| |
tis a fair point, [brandnew's] idea is crass but I don't think he/she is condemning our pity to the homeless. If anything [brandnew] could be making a point that we often pity the homeless (hell, its hard not too), but that pity is as useful as venetian blinds. |
|
| |
Ahem. Then I see no idea in it only a slap in our collective faces and a waggling finger. What's new or interesting about that? |
|
| |
Why not go the whole hog and give them an entire house? |
|
| |
surely "venetian blinds FOR the homeless" ? |
|
| |
[tsuka] am trying not to smile at that suggestion ... |
|
| |
Why would our homeless want blind Venetians? Couldn't they just buddy up to the homeless right in Venice and see how that works out first before we go importing them? |

just use the big scree tv box, cut out a little hole for the window:) |
