Do you really think Luddite was looking for a scientifically-based, accurate answer? I think he used 'imaginary' and 'do you think' in his query. Sure there's an answer.

Rather than post links, just google "homeless refuse shelter". I got over 4 million pertinent responses, many with articles based upon studies. There are many, many reasons but drugs, alcohol addiction and/or the fear of living in an environment rich with these issues are major concerns. |

But here's something to ponder...is it moral to take a blanket away from a homeless person living outdoors in the cold? That's a lot easier question. I've read the Pensacola ordnance. I've read opponents' views and supporter's views. The issue of taking away blankets from the homeless is an emotion charged claim by some taken entirely out of context with the ordnance. The ordnance prohibits *camping* in certain public areas, which to me is a perfectly legitimate and moral thing to do. It's the liberal press and liberal progressives who have interpreted that to mean that Pensacola's mayor is "taking blankets away" from the homeless. |

I've read about studies that indicate a significant number of the homeless are military vets who came home from Vietnam or Iraq or Afghanistan with serious emotional problems. It's been a while since I've read such an article, but I know that part of the problem was the failure of the military or the VA to recognize and treat some of these disorders, and the guys suffering from them just disintegrated mentally and emotionally. Do you fellows have such a lack of compassion that you have to cast further aspersions on these sufferers and the many others in this country who find themselves without a home, without a hope, and too mentally ill to take advantage of what little bits of help that might be available? Who cast aspersions on the homeless? You keep making up things. Today it's 'aspersions on the homeless', yesterday it was 'racism against black kids' and 'taking away blankets', and my 'hatred of gays'. Why do you do that? Perhaps it is because you have such disdain for the homeless, blacks, latinos, gays, women, et cetera. No, I have disdain for those who make up stories and present them as something other than fairy tales. None of the groups you mentioned are known for making up stories. None of them are, as a group, liars. Got it? |

Raising a few rug rats doesn't equate helping the homeless. Helping the homeless has a prerequisite that raising kids does not. The homeless are required to *want* help. Play an imaginary game. Assume you have a bus with 50 seats. You drive to an area know to be populated with homeless men and announce that you will transport them to a shelter where they will receive food, clothing, job training and employment assistance to acquire a job. How many men do you think you would have to ask in order to fill up the bus? ~~crickets~~ I had a feeling this would go unanswered by our resident almost-psychotherapist's assistant. Too hypothetical for an answer. You understand hypothetical, right? Hee-hee! Since I haven't designed and run a study that would investigate the question properly and scientifically, and since I haven't read any such studies, any answer I might give would be nothing more than a wild-assed guess. It's an interesting posit, though. Isn't that sort of how you entered the military...you were promised food, clothing, training, and a paycheck? Why, I'll bet almost everyone who received that "Report for a Physical" letter got on the bus, right? But, hey, go ahead and cackle. Not quite. I had a nice, fun job when I got my letter. Wasn't camping on the streets. Don't you just hate it when someone asks you a question, the answer to which you can't provide without blowing your argument right in the ass or looking like a fool? That seems to happen a lot to both of you. Almost every post of his is one big snark. Can you stand it? I see them more as cries for help. |
