    I love the people that beg for money over the CB radio talking about how they are broken down in the parking lot or looking for just enough gas money to get home 30 miles away, but will refuse to sale the radio... What gives?

    if they sell the radio, how will they keep a BIG audience? Might get slugged by some trucker's wife who thinks they're trying to solicit "favors", right? *LMAO*

    You won't usually find those who are out of work, and stuggling, loitering around truck stops and convient stores...

    As you wrote above, those are usually your habitual beggers...

    But notice they always go home at night to a home or residence...except the true transient types...

    But they've chosen that lifestyle...not all, but many...

    What they don't realize, is that times are tough for a lot of people right now...
    They seem to think just because you pull up in a truck or car, that you must be a millionare...and have money to throw away on their personal issues...

    They have chosen to burden others, with their own issues...

    And if it were up to me...you can be homeless, or choose not to work, but the minute you start burdening others in the public with your issues...than straight off to Iraq or Afganistan you go...period...

    If you have nothing better to do with your life other than burdening others, who themselves are struggling...than If I had say so, I'd ship them off to one of the many worlds troubled spots, and put them to work...

    watch your empty trailers too. I woke up once and found seven people in my trailer. I started locking it even when it was empty after that.

    lol......I just tell them, when they come on with that "My car broke down coming home from grandma's and I just need a couple of bucks for gas" line. If you didn't have the funds to cover a breakdown then you shouldn't be out here driving!

    I did turn 1 lady down one night, felt bad afterward. She said, "If I had offered you a blow job you would of helped me out" then she turned and walked away. It is so hard to tell who really needs help and who are professional pan handlers, makes it bad for those who really need help.
