Yes, my city (DC) has tons of homeless. A lot live around me (one county south of DC) and camp out in the woods, the homeless shelters are always full.
I try to donate often.. they're in a horrible situation.. Some homeless people have no chance of surviving, they have dropped out of high school and can't get a job, not even a bad one because the bad economy around here. |

QUOTE(Angelos @ Sep 3 2004, 3:42 PM) wait its there fault? how can u sya that ? alot suffer from mental illnesses and drugs and alcohol i mean they may not have made the right choices but u cant just walk by them and go i would help u but its your fault. regardless of the circumstances you should feel sorry for all Even if you have made ALL the wrong choices, the fact that the average person in poverty recieves $30,000 in government aid makes there no excuse to be homeless. Even if they don't have a job (mostly because of the minimum wage), they still have PLENTY of money -- unless they spend it all on drugs. I have no sympathy for anyone who lives off money stolen from working Americans -- and neither should you. |

At times I do... But recently, in downtown of my city.... they cut down a tree because homeless people were dealing drugs around it... [shrugs] and they're always under the bridge.... What if they were sleeping under the bridge one day... and just kind of rolled into the water.... and a shark ate them? THEN WHAT? then they'll die and i don't have to see those bloody signs and i don't have to see them on the streetlights asking for MY money, I'm already POOR ENOUGH!! AND I don't have to see them strolling down the sidewalks with shopping carts and bags of random things= empty coke cans they can redeem for 5 cents... clothes from Goodwill, waterfront mission, salvation army... I personally believe... that they are just making the city look ugly why can't they just go live in a cave somewhere?

QUOTE(mSz_dOrk_anGeL @ Sep 5 2004, 2:30 AM) why dont they just go out and get jobs .. THEN you wont feel bad It's not that simple. When you go into a job interview, do they judge you on your appearance, posture, hygeine? They do, and a homeless person doesn't have the facilities, clothes, etc needed to look at least halfway acceptable. When you get a job, you also have to fill out papers - What are you going to do when you have to fill in the address? |

Well.. McDonald's is ALWAYS hiring... and they assign you a uniform... or they can be one of those people who stand on street corners with a sign for some stupid furniture store or something and wave at cars that go by...
