There are no "homeless," only crackheads and mental patients.

[quote:YouAreDreaming:MV80OTkwMDI1XzkxMzA1MzU5XzY5NzhBMEE=] I don't agree. I've helped the homeless, probably $4,000 over the past 2 years bought blankets this year and handed them out. Yes, many are messed up from drugs. Then there are others who have been severely traumatized and abused in life, got there because of very evil parents, traumas etc. It's easy to stigmatize them because it's not you but I can tell you this. They are living hard on the streets where I am from. Freezing to death met several with severe frostbite, snow blisters on hands, cheeks and toes, starving, full-capacity in shelters has created an overflow and many of them unable to function. With the current economical trend, even you may be walking in their shoes one day, the stigamitazation is awful, yes there are very bad people who became homeless and likely earned it but so many that fell through the cracks of society. I know many who just smoke weed, not hard street drugs. Talked with one who was homeless at 11 and has been so ever since. Lot's of real tragedy in their stories if you stop to listen like I do. Don't give money, give a coffee, give a blanket, give a sandwich as long as they are just sitting there not demanding. I don't help the ones yelling at you or demanding it... just walk on they are likely going to be a problem. Seek the humble sullen ones that don't ask but just sit or lay in defeat and drop of some care. You'll make some cry with just a little kindness because often no one does. [/quote]
