They are also called humans.. you should try it sometime

Quote from crgarcia:

Why only in America you see poor homeless guys with a sign that says "the end is near", and tell you -actually shout you- to repent before it's too late.

Thirld world homeless are even poorer, yet they never warn you about the impending apocalypse.

By the way there are lots of "the end is near" guys in Wall Street and the government.

Because if someone on a corner of a street in a country where everyone was homeless and poor was shouting "The End is Near" all they would get is people shouting back "Thank God! I'm sick of this f'..in' place."

Why do you let them sleep on the street? Is this anyway to treat a human?

believe it or not, many homeless choose to be.

Quote from asap:

the question is how the hell the world's richest country has so many homeless and abandoned people as % of the population?

Correct.

Last week I saw two women on the street corner with signs saying
they were homeless and needed money. Both had brand new NIKE
shoes on and clothes that looked like they came from an expensive store.

There was nothing wrong with them that I could see besides the
obvious fact that they didn't want to work or were running from the law.
They looked like they were in the late twenties and healthy as horses.

On the other hand I realize that a lot of homeless in America are
Vietnam vets, and other vets that could use some help.

So I guess not ALL of them are bums.

But a lot of them are professional bums who are good at what they do.

If you're going to work at least dress appropriately for the job.
