    I disagree with you and I’m done with this conversation. You haven’t backed up any of your claims.

    Edit: Hopefully you won’t ban me for my opinions.

      LOL - you need evidence that someone shitting on the sidewalk like a dog is making good life choices?

        No, I need evidence on your claim that less fortunate people forfeit their right to decide for themselves.

        Your elitism is showing.

        You’re a lost case. For everyone else reading: we cannot expect that people who for some reason or another got into a financial or mental health mess, are the ones who can get themselves out of it without help. Suppose a drunk person falls into a pond and can’t get out. And then you say “well, SERVES YOU RIGHT for getting drunk. You get out of the lake yourself!” Who- who? The hell thinks like that?!

        A person who’s top priority is “shit, what will I eat tomorrow? Will I be safe tonight?” should be helped by those like us, the one with the access, knowledge and resources. They should not be victim-blamed.

        It’s kinda weird when people are not empathetic to those in need, when you think about it.

          They aren’t simply “less fortunate”. They lack the ability to properly care for themselves or establish a stable environment in which to live.

          If they’re going to burden society with their issues, they have no right to complain when society resolves their issues for them.

                I think you’re just trolling at this point. Are you doing this for the lulz? Yeah, you’re doing this for the lulz.

                  Nope, just reporting on the state of the homeless in my town.

                  Things will start getting better once drugs are re-criminalized starting next month.
