Crazy Social Experiment...

Hey all, finally showing my ugly mug for the first time in some-odd number of months.

Just watched a video today of someone in New York City doing a social experiment: on one hand, he was a homeless man begging for money for 'weed, drugs, and alcohol'. A multitude of people stopped and gave him handfuls of cash.

On the other hand, he was a homeless man with his daughter. His sign read 'Homeless, Single Father, Please help support family'. For two hours, some thousand or more people walked by and barely even glanced at him. However, at the end of that time period, a young homeless woman walked by with her dog and gave him everything she had earned that day, saying he needed it more than she did.

It was extremely moving, and the show of what society is valuing nowadays is disturbing. Link to the video here:
