It would be hard to tell who was real and who was just looking to escape responsibilities.

If they can do yard work, they could get a job mowing lawns.  If they can wash dishes they could work at a restaurant. If they are so 'helpless' I don't see that much will be contributed to keep the house going.

If you feel the need for a safe house for a couple of months or more, then you need to start making better decissions and take responsibilty for yourself.  Dont sit around everyday waiting for someone to save you. You need to save yourself.

If a slave is so imcompetent that they are unable to take care of themselves, how can anyone want her/him. There is a huge difference between a slave and someone looking for free rides the rest of their lifes. Anyone can clean a house and enjoy bondage. Do you feel the need to be rewarded for cleaning a house?  If so, you are not a slave. Are you waiting for someone to accept you for the way you are? Or do you need training?

Reading your profile and some of your postings you seem confused at what you are. Its like you are trying to be dominate everywhere and pretend to be slave material. A switch maybe? You would have better luck being who you are instead of making yourself something you want.

Just my thoughts.  Your posts are like double standards. Minipulating the facts to get the results you want doesnt mean you have the right answers. Does that make since?

Next time keep in mind this bit of advice that a friend gave me when I was contemplating aid to a stray:  "In god we trust, everyone else pays rent."

Greetings,

Unfortunatly you run into not qualifying for shelters. There are ones for battered women, but what if you were never abused? What if you just fell onto a pickle? And then there are ones for drinkers, youth, even down to specifically for religions. Sometimes a slave dosent need someone to take her in and care for her, she just needs someone to help her for a small bit until she can get back on her feet.

Just my opinion though :)

I've been told many times over the years that I should open a home for wayward subs. This is in large part because my 'take' on D/s consists of helping to empower people rather than using it as a platform to feed my ego. I like mentoring and supporting people who want to change their lives. I could see doing this as long as people really did *want* to change and not just find somebody to run their lives while they coast along.

One of the people I'm involved with said it should be done like welfare; you get so much time to get the boost and support you need, but you can't stay there forever. There would definitely have to be rules or guidelines so that people understood the purpose for such an organization.

I think that some people just don't have the life skills they need and then fall into the pattern of somebody else guide them that they don't know how to do things on their own. This isn't subjective to BDSM at all, but rather some people just can't seem to get things together. I happen to be someone who can look at a situation and with pure intentions tell them how to change the path they're on, or at least get them to look at where they're headed and try to get them not to repeat the same behaviour that got them there.

I think it's a good idea in theory, but the execution of such a plan would have to be done with a lot of foresight, and with people who could embrace a common goal for the long-term.

Well, if you cant qualify to be in a homeless shelter than you are more than capable to do things on your own. thats what friends and family are for.  Even if its not your favorite choice you have one. If someone wants to set around and feel sorry for themselves or pamper the crap out of their situation, than its no one elses obligation to help milk the situation.

I would never completely surrender, and I"m okay with that.  I have a primary responsbility to retain the things I've worked hard for, along with property that will remain in the family.  I've been divorced and had to start over.  I won't do that again.
