Pyractomena borealis User ID: 14774797 United States11/09/2012 08:40 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I knew drug addicted homeless that would go in just for the giant bottle of pills they would leave the hospital with. Quoting: The Light Under the Door It wasn't safe or smart. The hospital would release them so f'ing drugged up that they didn't have enough sense to survive on the street and were often going back in within a day or two for having OD'd on their own meds. The mental health system is a joke. The less contact one has with the "medical Industry" the healthier they will be.

| Wash User ID: 6406905  Canada11/09/2012 08:44 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | If your home is a tent on public property you probably are loony...at least the loony-bin would be a proper roof over your head.. Quoting: BRIEF I see your point Brief, and in some cases it may be true. However, a blanket solution like this would not work, plus it violates human rights, it would cost tax payers a bundle, etc... Clearly a bad idea. If they were taught how to properly care for themselves it would be worth it...ya know classes on how to save money and basic life skills that should come naturally, but don't for some people...hmmmm do I save this $20 for rent or buy lottery tickets and some candy bars? Good point. I can't argue having them attend classes or at least offering free classes to them...maybe a job fair etc...Maybe take a shitty, abandoned section of town, teach them some carpentry skills, and have them create their own housing. Pay for their labour so they can buy food. At the sametime they build their resume. Wadda ya think? Roll Tide Roll. |

| Leslie Zevo Commander and Beef User ID: 17090286 United States11/09/2012 09:25 AM  Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Plant cocaine in a neighbors home doorway then call the police, then squat in their home. Quoting: Leslie Zevo The rest of us are planning on what to eat for breakfast while this guy is scoping out what house he wants to squat in. Remember "today" is the "tomorrow" of "yesterday" don't waste it. It was a joke. You still know what one of those are, right? I am a son of Earth and starry sky. I am parched with thirst and am dying; but quickly grant me cold water from the Lake of Memory to drink. |
