In every modern European capital like Berlin and Madrid there's no shortage of people sleeping in the streets. And in the ones where you don't see them, it's probably even worse because the cops kick them out to starve in the countryside. The worst case I know of is Moscow, because there drunks pass out on the street and freeze to death and nobody does anything about it.
Remember when they frantically searched for cigarette tinfoil to wrap around the top of the piece to make yet another queen? Your parents should be proud : My name is Bond.
I don't think I'm romanticizing the homeless, though. Which is fuelled by factors like increasing rents and the decline of public or social housing. Sorry to burst your bubble but there are hordes of homeless people in every European capital, whether socialist or not, and it's become a thousand times worse since the massive "Volkswanderung" in the past few years.
I just get extremely bored hanging around the same scene all the time, and the same is true of lots of fellow nomads. People make a big deal about having "roots" but that idea really gives me the creeps!

So is Roman homeless? Homeless asylums are numerous, and homeless people get money from the state and unlike people on welfare who have a home, the homeless get their money daily - same amount.
They are encouraged to seek a home apartments below certain standard are paid by the state, so they do not have to worry about the costs of the home. As for the refugees, that's a different story. In that year the court judged that it violates human dignity, and while they are still getting below welfare, they are getting just as much if we discount household items. May Ironmanth : Happy birthday, Grandmaster.
Be well, sir! Aug technical draw : Thank you voice actress for the pronunciation of Dzind Dzind's name. I think I played him once in NYC in the early 70's. I can't remember who won. Heh, heh. N Kasimov vs Dzindzichashvili, Aug Granny O Doul : I'm sheepish about mentioning that the Djin is not in the US chess hall of fame, because to do so seems to give it some importance. We'll blame the drink.
Aug Howard : On my opinion, Dzin has too many personal shortcomings to be inducted into the H of Fame. Jan NOKRO : I remember in high school, we read a story about a vagabond who told a story to the children gathered around him, about helping other people in need. He said that it may happen to anybody, to be in the same predicament and would need help too.
Afterwards the teacher asked us what the moral was of the story as told by the vagabond. One student answered, "Don't be a vagabond".
