Urban Phenomena - # 4
Hello everyone! Yes, we're back! It's good to see you all!
Welcome back to my humble little corner of webspace and Interpretations of Urban Phenomenon! I am your host Mr Pink, and I hope you enjoy my encyclopedia. Buckle up as we prepare to don the guise of common street people and discover what it is like....to live in our world.....
# 4 VOLUNTARY WORKERS # 4
Voluntary Workers
:- Another irritating breed of human found dwelling in the centre of major cities
:- Representatives of a collective of people mercilessly capitalising upon the poverty or misfortune of others
:- Usually a deluded breed with the belief that they are in fact achieving something worthwhile
:- They provide endless hours of irritation and endure a slew of abuse for no subsequent compensation
:- Similar to the Jakey in many ways - especially the fact that they are usually harmless except if challenged in their beliefs or employment justifications
Most known for:
1. Being completely adept at scanning a crowd for potential victims.
2. Their completely relentless attitude and never taking no for an answer.
3. Using Jedi mind tricks to numb the brain into believing that you had no plans....You were going nowhere....Those were not the droids you were looking for....
4. Their ability to guilt trip blood from stone.
Forms of Volunteer:
Charity Workers - Christian Aid workers, Gouranga monks........Nuns with money boxes.....
Political Activists - Political party candidates, Anti war protestors or most commonly Unemployed, friendless reprobates with too much underarm hair and BO(i.e femenists, animal rights or greenpeace*)
It is common that a person will be walking with a group of friends or simply minding their own business when this vulture will descend. Suddenly you may find yourself being ushered to the side, alone and without friends, and parting with a small sum of money or shouting a ridiculously obscure word at the top of your lungs.
It is vital that a bystander be aware that they are in no immediate harm. These people appear in many forms and offer a large number of reasons for what they do. Generally in the belief that they are trying to achieve something worthwhile and that the spare change from you pockets will help change the world, they appear genial and informative. In many cases this is a valiant effort that coerces a donation from the hardest of hearts. But we have to argue that one has to look at the end result and see the Marble pillars or Solid Gold statues and mummified Popes in the Vattican to understand where the majority of donations end up*.
It is general practice that one will be asked for local currency that is to be sent to the aid of a poor unfortunate soul. However, one may be asked to sign their soul to a mailing list that will forever leave them haunted by scarring videos of men being nailed to crosses or reminded that there is a demonic monster watching your every move and giving your children cancer or a large invisible man who will cast you into a flaming eternity if you do not obey his every comand*.
Other practices include a subtle undermining of ones political and social beliefs. These are a dangerous bunch sometimes highly skilled in rhetoric with the ability to gather a following through encouragement and sympathising. It is not certain, however, who is more dangerous: the shepherd or the sheep. Lets go with the latter!
Adolf Hitler once said - "It is fortunate for leaders that men do not think".......and look what happened there!
Many political activists are concerned or affected relatives to a cause, such as a war, and whilst their intentions are true, their efforts will inevitably go unnoticed due to the fact that they are usually so moronic as to think that the Prime Minister, or similar person, alone is responsible for the situation.
Gouranga monks have proven to be the craftiest of all breeds! Personal experimentation has brought forth the result that pretending to be poorer than the cause will not help as ones attire alone is used against them. It is also futile to pretend to be from another country as they seem to be masters of language and geography(probably due to the fact that they have scrounged the world in need of aid).
Brandishing the Guilt trip with a sense of flair never witnessed by man, it is inevitable that one will indeed go home with a cd or book detailing how all religions are wrong except theirs!
Our final note on the matter would be that if they spent less time making books and cd's and travelling the world, they would not need charity.
