Homeless ppl, feel bad for them? Options

[mouse_3k]

ok I am watching America's Most Wanted and there was this story about this gang tht would take homeless ppl and make them slaves, making them sell drugs 24/7 and if they thought the homeless ppl didnt work hard enough, they would kill them. they did this re-inactment about it and it showed this poor old homeless guy begging the gang for food and the gang thru chinese food at him and the homeless guy would eat the scraps. i get so sad when things like this happen to the homeless cause they are so harmless and real needy (not a bad thing). I feel sooo bad now after i saw tht re-inactment. I cant even go to DC cause there are homeless ppl and i just will feel so bad for them. I always bring like $10 when i do go to DC so i could get the homeless some food or something.

is there NE one else tht feel bad for the homeless? i hear alot of ppl hate them cause they think all homeless are drunkies and druggies and all..

There is no gender affirmative action at colleges. That only happens in traditionally male jobs, such as police and firefighting.

You forgot another kind of affirmative action though: Geographical. Your profile says you live in Missouri. So chances are, Washington University would rather have someone from Vermont attend than their own state -- they want diversity.

Also, although affirmative action IS responsible for many people like you getting rejected at places you want, you shouldn't blame it. The victim-mentality achieves nothing. You should work to improve your credentials above the pool, THEN work to abolish affirmative action.

The reason African-Americans today, as group are unsucessful, is BECAUSE of the victim mentality ("White people are racist against us. We have to stop racism before we can succeed.") NO! You have to SUCCEED before you can STOP RACISM. The same deal exists with affirmative action.
