[edit] Vagabonds = Hobos?
This page says that vagabonds can be hobos, then says they can not be "bums (see hobos)". Which is it?
Sorta. A vagabond is more like a freeloader when a hobo does everything for themselves. Correct me if I'm wrong.
(Response:Vagabonds normally take on small jobs wherever they end up to make ends meet, and then move on. Rarely freeloading as this is thievery! Hobos and bums doesnt take on to the working thing to good and resort to freeloading!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.103.116.88 (talk) 20:09, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
- The important thing is that the job is only temporary or is done for a short period of time. If its a pernament job, especially if they have somewhere to live, then the person is not a vagabond. 80.2.192.179 (talk) 14:04, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Vagabonds - legal category?
What about the sort of historic "legal category" - I think you could be imprisoned for being a "vagabond" in some historic periods. What categorised someone as a "vagabond"? 87.116.137.69 18:17, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Ragnarok Online?
I heard that there is a wolf character called Vagabond on the Ragnarok Online game series. Not sure if this is true though... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.129.47.154 (talk) 08:00, August 30, 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Orwell not a vagabond as he had jobs
I've decided to delete this:
" George Orwell's Down and Out in Paris and London is a memoir of his experiences as a vagabond in these two cities. "
He did have badly-paid jobs and hence stayed in one place, and as far as I recall had somewhere to live, so for all of these reasons could not be classified as a vagabond.
I have added Autobiography Of A Supertramp and Woodie Guthrie.
