Who the fuck said anything about that? There's a difference between government assistance and charitable foundations and giving some crackhead crack money so they can buy more crack.

and despite anything...YES, there are homeless people that did not ask to be in the boat they are in...but lets not forget the MANY that got kicked out of their house because they were a drunk and their wife couldnt take it anymore. ever dealt with a REAL alcoholic? ITS NOT FUN! of course, some of that have legitamate issues making it exceptionally difficult to quit their habit, however, if yr old enough to know better yr old enough to make yr own bed.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It might be easy to leave alcoholics and drug addicts to die on the streets because they can't get ahold of their addiction, but the fact is, their existence negatively affects everyone. Not to mention the fact that since Reagan's gutting of funded mental institutions, most people living on the street are mentally ill, not drug addicted alkies, not at least until they get a drug problem due to having to LIVE ON THE FUCKING STREET.

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YR OWN FUCKING ACTIONS! its no one elses responsibility to take care of you, not if yr old enough to know better. i work my ass of, and it PISSES ME OFF that a portion of my hard earned money goes towards assisting people who, ultimately, have fucked themselves over.
ya want to form a habit? ya cant control yrself? do ya know better? if "yes", go for it....just be prepared to deal with yr shit yr own fucking self.

This doesn't happen. The proverbial welfare queen was made up by Reagan to fool reactionary shitheads like you into bitching about helping the poor.

people take advantage of systems designed to help them...and they know they do. i see this shit all the fucking time. programs give them money, as long as they are looking for a job...but what these idiots do, they come in, ask to fill out an application, write NOTHING ON IT BUT THEIR FUCKING NAME AND ADDRESS!!! they KNOW they will not get hired. then they tell whatever program that they are looking, and they filled out an application for such and such place....the program calls, and all we can legally tell them is "yes, they put in an application" mother fuckers dont want to work. they brag about it.

Wawahwah. Yes this happens, but so fucking what? People on all sides of the equation try to get more than they deserve. That doesn't mean you don't help real people who need real help. Should there be more oversight? I'd have to say yes, but this isn't an either or thing.
