| Topic | Do you give money to the homeless? |

BADoglick posted... People keeping them afloat just enough to live day to day merely encourages them to perpetuate their lifestyle. First off, I'm pretty sure the number of people who are homeless by choice are overwhelmingly in the minority. Second and more to the point, "encourages them to perpetuate their lifestyle"? As opposed to what? "Oh, gee, people aren't giving me money anymore, I guess I'll just stop being poor and homeless now." Sure, that sounds realistic. I will say this - I've heard plenty of stories of homeless people pulling themselves out of the gutter because someone did something for them. Bought them a meal, taught them a skill, did something for them; I have yet to hear one who said "Well, this one guy refused to give me anything when I asked him, and that really inspired me to get my act together." --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ... Copied to Clipboard! |
