Where Hippy Freaks and RAT Pack get together

I'm at a loss for words. I'd love to find a 'freegan' in a temporarily vacant rental unit I own. That- would be fun.
 
i've actually heard about this happening a lot..where grocery stores throw out stuff that is still "good", and people are going in there and picking it out...like our local little Caesars with their hot and readys..a friends dad owns it and he wont let the employees take the left over pizzas home, for whatever reason, so some of the employees just set them ontop of the dumpsters and the less fortunate(homeless) come by and take them.
 
I'd take my RC-6 if I were going to go the Freegan route.
Small enough to EDC but big enough to be useful.

I work 40+ hrs a week, I work hard for the little money I get. I'll do that when the paychecks stop rollin' in.

Jeez, some folks just love to be different. Voluntary bums sums it up. Good call.

I could totally see one of my old co-workers doing this. Anything to pinch a penny. I'm going to forward him that link for a good laugh.
 
Having just come off a bout of food poisoning that caused me a tachychardia and seisure...and got my tossed on a crash cart and my shirt cut off...no thanks.
 
The folks on my mothers side of the family are... I don't know the word. I never have and never will care for any of them. Anyhow, on more than a few holiday dinners, my aunt has picked meat out of a dumpster to serve to everybody. She's actually proud of her frugality. My moron of an uncle sums it up best. "Well, it's not so bad because at least you're full for a couple hours"

I politely decline the invitation to spend the holidays with you... you know, in case you were thinking of inviting me.:eek:
 
I can understand the political motivations, but these people are just gigantic moochers. If they aren't happy with the way things are, they should leave the city, build their own houses in the countryside, grow their own food and leave the city sheeple alone, not go around taking things other people have built, sweat and worked for. If they want to dumpster dive, good for them, but stay the hell away from what I worked for.

It sounds as though they want others to provide for them so they have more time to protest. I believe you have to build your own system to protest an other not just whine about it.

I just want to say, I myself try to buy local goods free of cheap labor and corporate greed as much as I can, try to buy organic (my family grows a good part of our own vegetables) and live a good life all around. But these freegans are achieving monster levels of head up my own ass syndrome.

seriously? Its sad that people with means, take away from the people just trying to get by (true homeless) just so they can be "different".
 
There sure is some weird people out there. If they don't want to contribute to ''corporate America'', why don't they just move to an impovrished country? Oh wait I know cause when they fall ill they want have a hospital to take them in and treat them on charity care.
 
From the website under the heading "WORKING LESS"

For most of us, work means sacrificing our freedom to take orders from someone else, stress, boredom, monotony, and in many cases risks to our physical and psychological well-being.

They don't want to "take orders from someone else," be stressed, bored or risk their "psychological well being." That is their definition of freedom. Say hello to the self-centered philosophy based on relativistic BS with no work ethic or direction that is f-ing up the whole country. At least they're getting their own handouts and not asking the government to pay their way. Too bad they haven't decided to stop using the air that is being used and polluted by "big business."

YGBSM.

most of the kids i've known who consider themselves "freegans" couldnt get govt subsidies. they typically have a bank card somewhere in their gear, that mommy and daddy make sure has plenty of $ to bail em out when things get too tough. have seen few without a cell phone stuck in their gear somewhere too(who do you think pays for that service?). tho i know there are some who don't. most have pretty solid back-up when they decide they need a place to stay good food and a shower(oh yeah,i forgot- bathing is bourgeoisie-nevermind)
 
This is nothing new. The hippies were doing this in San Francisco in 1967, along with asking for "spare change" from every tourist they saw. I was there in the Summer of Love, on leave before going off to kill commies for Christ. Just lazy bums. Who knew they would one day be running the nation?
 
This freeganism stuff looks interesting. You know maybe I should... nah forget it. I'm just going to do what I need to do as I go through life. I love their anger at the murder of wildlife on farms under the guise of "killing pests." If the wicked farm dictators didn't quash the furry rebels they'd hardly have a product to eat themselves let alone sell. Then what would the freegans forage from the urban dumpsters? I appreciate that they acknowledge that there are some seriously wrong things out there. But as was pointed out from the working less section, it turns out they are indeed "voluntary bums." How sad.

God bless,
Adam

WTF? Is that a joke or do you really think you were "killing commies for christ?"

Dude, don't take things so damn serious on this forum. Man, people get their panties bunched up rather quickly about shit. Settle down.
