Just ask one of the millions of homeless who spent a cold last night sleeping under a bridge or in an alley somewhere.  We're truly Awesome.

Most of them choose to live that way because they don't wish to put up with the BS that the people at missions and government shelters demand of them.

Reality!

I see. So you're not willing to give of yourself and provide food and shelter to others... It's something you expect everyone else to do because you say they should. Perhaps you can have the president emplace a property tax that's not a tax throughout the land to provide homes for all and call it...

OBAMAHOME

How about an economy that isn't designed to exploit the middle and poor classes on behalf of the bloodsucking 1%?  How about a livable minimum wage?

Vikingwoman wrote:No, you didn't suggest that at all. You said the people were homeless because they chose not to stay in a shelter which was totally dumb and not related to why they're homeless. You then suggested the rich people and Obama float them. If you can't make sensible comments then maybe you should refrain from embarrassing yourself.

SheWrites wrote:Damaged, I understand exactly what you are saying.  I've talked with homeless families who would not go to a shelter because they split up the family.  So, yes, their choice was to remain on the street.  

Also, most if not all of the shelters are "church" related and do have requirements.  

Strings attached help can definitely be no help at all leaving the homeless person the only "choice" of remaining on the street.

You question their choice?

Also, "bad choices" by the homeless is not the ONLY reason they are on the street.  Don't be so quick to toss them all into a one size fits all.

 

Why is it mandatory for someone to attend a Bible study or a church service just because they are seeking shelter?
