The fact that you have a roof over your head and a bicycle to ride and disparage those who don't, makes you an elitist.
I spend a month in Tustin every year and have ridden virtually every river trail in SoCAl. I have spent the last seven years working in residential treatment for co-occurring disorders with homeless male populations, most of them just released from state prison custody.
I have wasted enough time trying to educate you... the simple truth is that people with your uninformed opinions are part of the problem and not part of the solution.
I'm sorry but you are blowing more smoke out of your ass! Earlier it was about wealthy people, my $5,000 bike! I am far from that profile so even your profiling skills suck as well.
I am glad you are done wasting your time profiling me, cause you are really bad at it.
I like that! I grew up in a rough neighborhood. I chose to work to put a roof over my head rather than party with the thugs in junior high school who were stabbing one another with ice picks because someone tagged their name on the wrong wall.
I recognize these scumbags from school but I am an elitist because I chose not to do drugs with them, chose to work and chose to scrape up pennies to buy myself a $1000 bicycle hoping to do something healthy with my life. I AM AN ELITIST BECAUSE I DON'T DO DRUGS AND SMOKE DOPE ON THE RIVER TRAIL!?
Donate $20 to me and on your next ride, you will see me with a new tube and water bottle. Donate $20 to one of them scumbags and on your next ride, you will see them smoking dope in one of the camps. Wow, I really am an arrogant self centered elitist.
