    tell her she's crazy.

    hobo's are people too

    and if she was a hobo,

    she would want friends

    to push around in shopping

    carts ;)

    hobos/bums have a reputation of being dangerous. You mother does not wish to spoil your fun, she is just worried about you.

    unfortunately this is how the world works. people are discriminated against. They are judged only by a first impression.

    you seem nice, wish you luck!!!

    I think it's great you're down with the homeless

    but if she's anything like my mom, I believe she's paranoid and thinks all hobos are high schooll dropouts with drug problems. If they're female she thinks they're prostitutes; male she thinks they'll rape you.

    In short she thinks they're dangerous and detrimental to your well being.

    Hahaha, this makes me laugh. Bums are free birds and as far as I know, very fun to be around. If you are young listen to your mother but if you are old enough, make new friends and experience different life styles :)

    Your mother is being judgmental of their monthly income and their lifestyles. But she might just be concerned about your well-being. Some hobos are cannibals.
