Besides the harshness of this quote I wonder what percentage would try harder and what percentage would pass along to the next life. By helping all, you help the people who abuse the system along with the rest. I just hope that the rest way outnumbers the abusers. I cannot fathom spending money on slackers.

I deal with homelss on a daily bais as well when they relieve themselves in our office building stairwell and sleep in the halls. And yes this isn't a part of being homeless but more homeless do these types of crimes than anyone else.

How do you help the ones that really need it without helping the others that turn to crime. Answer me that and I will help.

I just don't understand, How is sleeping on the street "abusing the system" . Someone who is on unemployment and not reporting income from a current job is "abusing the system"...Someone, trying to stay warm, huddled in a doorway with inadequate clothing in the pooring rain is not "abusing the system"
The sad fact of the situation is that most people find the homeless "unemployable" how do you get a job with no fixed address, no bank account, no official iD and unable to read or write

Wow i cant believe im just finding this now. and man has it taken off. good thing too now i dont sound like such a heartless punk. or at least im not the only 1.

YOU ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE................

even if you choose not to Decide you still have made a choice. "RUSH"

My brother an i are both adopted but whn he was afetus his mother was a crack additct is it strange he is now fighting for his 2clean year?

granted he was more than likley born addicted he had no addiction to it until some ******* put a pipe in his face. he made this decision.

He also made the choice that it wsa geting out of hand and destoying his family so he Chose to clean up rather then end up on the street.

DRUGS ARE AN EXCUSE NOT A REASON.
