Ok, what you want is a lot of COCAINE.......

Uh wait..... I'll get back to you...

Your compassion, selflessness, and contributions to building a better community through your support of our youth are deserving of no less than the MacArthur Genius Grant which will also help you cover your mounting expenses.
3
You sound shocked that a homeless hustler would also be a manipulative slob.
4
It's a hard knock life for the dirty old predator. Maybe if you were living off of something other than our crappy SSI; you could have afforded yourself a luxurious call boy from volunteer park instead.
5
Be happy that you (I assume) are not in California, where kicking his sorry ass out of your own house would require an eviction notice and scrupulous attention paid to the legal procedures and requirements that you must follow for the next 90 days it takes to legally remove this loser.

WHAT??????? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? THIS is where the taxes are going to? For you to pay for SEX? How shameless do you have to be to admit something like this? Who cares if it's anonymous! Why don't you find a real girlfriend with a JOB? And a PLACE! What are you complaining about? You could change your situation in a f*cking second unlike most of us! Wow. You're not much less of a loser than the person you're paying. Omg worst I Anonymous EVER.
7
maybe i'm wrong, but i get the feeling he pays a male prostitute, not a female...
8
#2 is pure win.
9
Good to know that my tax money is going towards supporting some dirty old pervert's sex needs. God bless America.
10
@9 - I think that statement could also accurately describe many CEOs, so yeah.
11
So now social security income is welfare? You mean I've been paying 13% of my pay into SS insurance for 30 plus years now thinking the money would be mine to spend how I see fit when/if I start collecting, and now I have to use that money in an upstanding way or some republican shits are going to tell accuse me of being a parasite, and a wasteful immoral one at that?

If so, old man, then some of those tax dollars you're getting are mine. Please use them for a really hot fucking time with your loser hustler. He must be really hot for you to put up with all that other shit.
12
Wow, this puts a whole new spin on 'price of admission.' I've gotta say, I've never been attracted to street hustlers--they're sad and kind of gross.
13
Yay!! @11 Yay!! @2
14
@ 6 - Worst comment on I, Anon ever.

You don't understand what social security is and didn't get that the guy is gay. And you expect others to live according to the way you view the world?

Why don't you get a brain?
15
Wow, I wasn't aware that Medicare paid for male hookers...
16
Remember the good ol' days when you could pick up a hooker, male or female, fall in love and live happily ever after?
17
What is with all of the comments A) calling this guy a prevert/parasite/predator and B)being shocked and offended that this guy is using his SSI to pay for sex?

A) There is nothing perverted, parasitical, or predatory about paying for sex- a transaction where equal and adult parties exchange cash for services.

B) SSI is his own damn money so what do you care what he spends it on? It's not welfare, he's not doing these instead of having a job. He has worked his entire life paying into the system and is not receiving back the money that he paid in monthly increments. Would be be as offended if he waspaying for sex off the interest of his IRA or savings account, because it's the same damn thing.

@14 - Excellent comment. Couldn't have said it better, myself! ;-)
18
^ Says the other man praying on drug addicted street junkies with his SSI.
19
@18, I'm a 36 year old chick, dufus.
20
D'oh! After reading these comments, I realized I had mistaken SSI for Social Security payments for the disabled. I have quite a few disabled people around me and they always refer to their disability check as their "Social Security check" so when I saw Social Security, I automatically thought the guy was on disability.

My bad XP
21
I fully expect to be in the same position some day, except that by then there will be no social security.
22
If you are 36 years old you should not be referring to yourself as a chick.
23
@22, 36 yos can be chicks. Don't disparage her self-identification.

24
@6: "WHAT??????? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS? THIS is where the taxes are going to? For you to pay for SEX?"

Or cheeseburgers, or movies, or videogames, so fucking what?

He earned his Social Security and pension, dipshit. If he wants to spend it on whores and drugs, it's his right.
25
@14 and @24 HUH? Didn't 11 say the SAME thing as me?!? How on earth do I get criticized and they don't? Also last time I checked we don't live in Nevada so paying for SEX is ILLEGAL! THAT'S why I have a problem with the way he's spending his SS. Secondly @24 is it really necessary to call me names? I bet my last dime you don't talk like that in real life because if you did, and it was me, my fist would be in your mouth. @6 who CARES if the guy is gay? What does that have to do with anything? A boyfriend of a girlfriend what does it matter? My whole point is he can easily change his situation therefore how is this a real problem? He's bringing it all on himself.
26
@ 25 - You're totally clueless. And proud of it, which makes it even worse.

Nobody cares if he's gay, my comment had to do with YOUR lack of capacity to understand even basic concepts, in spite of which you think that your opinion matters.

Besides, the worst bully here is you, telling people how they should spend THEIR money.
27
@25: "@24 is it really necessary to call me names?"

I don't care about your fee-fees.

"I bet my last dime you don't talk like that in real life because if you did, and it was me, my fist would be in your mouth."

Wait wait, you're engaging in an internet toughguy contest? Cry somewhere else, moron. It's not my fault you're too stupid to understand where pensions and social security come from.
28
@15 - Why do you think they named it the "Rascal"? I'd tell you what a "Hoveround" is too, but it's filthy.
29
Oh I'm sorry #19 you're the 36 year old cougar preying on drug riddled children. Die in a fire.
31
Sorry Anonymous, you really should be telling this to a shrink instead of sharing with the fine readers of the Stranger because did you honestly think you would get sympathy for allowing a hustler to get over on you? A hustler?! You have the ability to stop the madness, but apparently not the desire so either shut up and make a decision to take what you have coming to you or fix the situation.

That's just me, though.
33
If you think with your dick, expect to get screwed.
34
@#32 - You're not paying for his sex habit; he is.

And what I want to die off is the homophobic assholes of this world. Faster the better.

PS - Please learn grammar and syntax. What is "rob's and kill's"? Like most of your ilk, you probably dropped out of HS and never read a book.
35
@#34 - 32 probably uses words like "varmint" and "rassle" too.

Anon, why not the traditional park restroom or highway rest area?
36
Again, I love to see people whining about people spending their SSI, when the government is bailing out banks and giant corporations. Relax. Your money isn't going to help individuals. It's ok. Your money is just being used to screw yourself.
37
"Didn't 11 say the SAME thing as me?!?"

Noooo... he said the OPPOSITE. It was (barely-disguised) sarcasm. He was commenting on "some Republican shit's" holier-than-thou attitude.

And, HE was funny.

Wow.
38
@ 27, 34 and 35 - I think we're dealing with a very young kid here. He probably hasn't finished H.S. yet... if he's even started it. His reaction @ 25 was totally of the "I'll see you in the schoolyard after class" category.

And the fact that he doesn't know what the term "hustler" refers to, not even in combination with "baths", means he has very little real-life experience (I knew what those words meant at 12... and English is my second language!). I think he's just regurgitating what he hears his bigoted father say.
39
@19: Go, girl, go!!!
40
I have a dream... a dream that someday we'll live in a world that's a little more young hustler/dirty old man positive.
41
Someday Americans will learn the difference between SS wages and SSI wages. SSI income is paid to those who have never had a job enabling them to pay into SS. IE: Welfare for the "too disabled to have ever worked at all". It's pretty minimal, usually <$600 per month.
SS benefits are paid to working Americans who retire or need to retire early due to a later-onset disability, ie: EARNED SS benefits. The amount of said wages is determined by how much you contributed over your working lifetime.
As I read it, this guy is drawing SS benefits- he's paid into the system. Too bad he's now supporting someone who is not.
42
He had me at Dirty Old Man
43
@ 11,

Yes, social security and medicare are welfare. You get out 5 times more than what you pay in.
44
@43 - right. That must be why the federal government has been pillaging the social security "lock box" for over 20 years to pay for our brave men and women in uniform ass-kicking in distant lands.

Ass-kicking, good. Ass-licking, bad.

Let's just hope you die young so you don't have to be sullied by receiving this form of welfare.

Best wishes,

Silvio Levy

Financial difficulties? Heck, when you're both homeless, problem solved, right?
47
You have to have a certain numbers of "quarters" (three-month periods in which you earn a certain amount of income) to qualify for both SS and SSI. If you are disabled at a young age, you might need only a few quarters of coverage to qualify for full benefits. If you are disabled at an older age (men 45-55 are the fastest-growing group for SSI), you will need closer to 40 quarters of coverage to qualify for full benefits.
48
@ 44 and 45,

I'm not against social services...I'm just sick to death from hearing Tea-tards/rethuglicans, the vast majority of which on SS and Medicare, bitching and whining about "welfare whores" and cutting social services and govt programs when they themselves are the biggest, greediest pigs at the trough behind the military. Social Security is not an investment...it's a ponzi scheme based on FDR's assumption back in 1935 that people would keep having the same quantities of children to pay in. They didn't plan for the invention of birth control or the baby boom.
49
@43: "Yes, social security and medicare are welfare. You get out 5 times more than what you pay in."

Maybe one day you'll own a bank account and understand how this works.
50
@43,

No, No, NO! Social Security and Medicaid aren't welfare, they're Ponzi schemes! (Just like Welfare.)

(See my tongue firmly in my cheek?)

On the DailyKos there was a video of some right wing dim wit saying that we were a better society w/o Social Sec etc because we supported people (family, neighbors, etc.) directly and didn't expect the Govt. to do it. Why was it put in place by the citizens of this country in the first place? To ensure that our neighbors and family could be supported when they needed it. It's like the joke about the born again that turned down human assistance multiple times during a life threatening situation, died, and questioned God why he wasn't saved. The answer was that those human attempts were his assistance. These people, and us, need to view Govt. as an extension of our communities, not a separate entity.

Whatever, Peace.

Except that we didn't. We only did in that same 50s faux-Americana they want to "get back to" that we never, ever experienced.
52
yuck. this i anon made me feel really yucky and gross.
53
@38: unless he has a fake ID, he'd have to be 18 to get into the baths. Or so I've been told.

Please wait...
