My friends and I, as you put it, did not associate serving this country
with going to Vietnam and killing Southeast Asians.

Since you mentioned it. What did you do to serve your country?

I had *no* idea you righties were university and professionally trained

Perhaps you should get on the lecture circuit.

There you go again assuming that a specific degree is required to
make
fundamental conclusions based on experience and common sense. It's
amazing that so many parents can successfully raise and guide
kids for
18 years without benefit of some advanced degree in child
psychology.


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.



you are incapable of designing and running a study. You do not have
the3 correct degree.

Harry, are you a"university and professionally trained

knowledge of the plight of the homeless gained from your years of

working directly with hundreds or even thousands of homeless folks?"



If so, perhaps you should get on the lecture circuit.







I live with a university and professionally trained social worker with a

Ph.D who has worked with thousands of people in her 25-year career,

including many homeless people, in venues such as large state forensic

mental hospitals, county day treatment facilities, private hospital

residential facilities, private psychiatric hospitals, the labor

movement, and in private practice, and who gives lectures and

presentations on various subjects related to the human condition.



We talk a lot, and I suspect I have met and talked to more urban

homeless people than Gregg, you, or our resident gay basher.


I used to watch a lot of programming on "The Health Channel". That didn't qualify me to be a physician. Or did it?

Only if youy stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. My mom was an RN. Did
that qualify me to be a nurse? I designed medical equipment. Did that
qualify me to be a doctor?

Neither did I. When I joined we had just elected LBJ and he was going
to keep us out of that war. He promised.

The fact is the majority of the people in the military as a whole,
never went to Vietnam.
With your credentials, you should have been able to land a spot in
Germany. Then you could have used all of those language skills you
brag about to meet people you didn't have to shoot at.



To what end? You fellows seem to think that I missed something important
by not going into the military and having the opportunity to kill people
who meant my country no wrong.

I did spend nearly a year in Vietnam, up close and personal to the
action, but as a civilian. I saw a significant number of dead people of
both sides, and I often asked myself, "What the hell was this guy doing
here, fighting in a really stupid war and dying for nothing." And in
the end, that is all the guys on both sides died for...absolutely nothing.

Only the military contractors gained from that war. Oh, and of course,
the officer corps, because wars create billets and promotional
opportunities.

Of course they would lose their "freedom" (freedom to get

drunk/stoned)

Or their 'freedom' in general. You can't tell me that many[if not
most] of the 'shelterless' don't have this attitude-

It is usually their quest for "freedom" that keeps them from gainful
employment, keeps them from going to shelters and what got them kicked
out of the Army.



I had *no* idea you righties were university and professionally trained
case workers with at least bachelors degrees in social work and intimate
knowledge of the plight of the homeless gained from your years of
working directly with hundreds or even thousands of homeless folks.
Perhaps you should get on the lecture circuit.

if those Educated, DR. Dr. Dr. soial workers were worth a ****, why do
we have so many street people? Why are they street people, alcoholic,
drug users forever? Most people with a Psch. degree went in to the
field to find out why they, themselves, are screwed up. How many cure
themselves?


Perhaps you should just chalk up my posts on this matter as an
experiment of mine to see who in wrecked.boats had a black heart.

You make up something about blankets and somehow derive 'black heart'. Weren't you the one talking
about 'scientific' yesterday?

Hee, hee.


All I did was post an article with a URL and then later ask a question.
I never stated or implied I was conducting a scientific experiment, but
the post and responses certainly revealed who here had a black heart.

Ah, yes. Our own little psychologist, right here in rec.boats.



This joint has to be good for something. When I find out what it is,
I'll let you know.

You still never addressed the policy right up the road from you that

It wasn't a lie, silly. I simply posted a URL that discussed what was
happening in Pensacola. I believe that article discussed taking blankets
from the homeless.

As for Chesapeake Beach, which you keep bringing up, you should know
that we don't spend any time there, other than to drive through it once
in a while on the way to somewhere else. Years ago, we used to frequent
a nice little restaurant that specialized in Italian seafood dishes such
as cozze, but it changed hands and so did the menu. Most of the rest of
the restaurants there still reek of cigarettes from the days when
smoking in them was allowed, so we avoid them.

I have no idea what is happening in Chesapeake Beach in the homeless.

You never cited anything that said anyone was "taking blankets away
from the homeless".
That was simply one of the tests in the law against camping.

I know people who are ignorant of things happening near them but I
have never seen anyone as proud of it as you.


You think I should call people at random who live there and ask them
what is happening? The local little newspapers don't cover much of
anything beyond kiddie sports and police reports. The last thing I read
about the place, a few weeks ago, had to do with approval of a backup
water pump for the local wet park.

Typical liberal attitude. You are happy to bitch about feigned
inhumanity somewhere else but you sleep soundly when it happens around
the corner from you. I still bet if there was a homeless camp at the
end of your street, you would be dialing 91.



You're aware that some sort of homeless camp existed in Chesapeake Beach?

For the information challenged, this is the ordinance

There are no blanket confiscation clauses


That's nice, but I posted a news story, not the ordinance.

Maybe they ought to bus them to Georgia.

"In Georgia, Gov. Nathan Deal said the National Guard opened 65 emergency shelters, and seven more were open at state parks along Interstate 20."

I wonder if they'll give away free blankets there?

Harry, are you a"university and professionally trained

knowledge of the plight of the homeless gained from your years of
working directly with hundreds or even thousands of homeless folks?"

If so, perhaps you should get on the lecture circuit.



I live with a university and professionally trained social worker with a
Ph.D who has worked with thousands of people in her 25-year career,
including many homeless people, in venues such as large state forensic
mental hospitals, county day treatment facilities, private hospital
residential facilities, private psychiatric hospitals, the labor
movement, and in private practice, and who gives lectures and
presentations on various subjects related to the human condition.

We talk a lot, and I suspect I have met and talked to more urban
homeless people than Gregg, you, or our resident gay basher.



Harry, with sincere respect for your wife's academic credentials, 25
years of direct and lecture circuit experience *and* recognizing that
she is probably one of thousands equally qualified in her field, why is
it that the plight of the homeless continues to be an ever increasing
and growing problem?

You are mistaken, there is no homeless problem in Washington, DC while a Demoncrat occupies
the White House. When the White House is again occupied by a Republican there will be this
awful problem with the homeless in Washington, DC again.
