1st, I didn't say that "what you said was illogical." I said "logic doesn't appeal to Vitards" aka you.

2nd. You ask a question. You asked for someone to "please educate you" ... Multiple people "educate you", which is what you asked for. Then you respond with ignorant statements like "So he choose to be homeless and is content. Doesn't sound like he needs help".

In what way does that show you have an interest in learning something?

Edit: I didn't answer your second question. What keeps a homeless person homeless other than their own aspirations is jail. It is illegal for a homeless person to be sleeping on public property. They have to do things like urinate in public. They get in fights to protect their territory. They use drugs to numb the pain of hunger. Sooner or later they get put in jail for an offense which is time they cant be working toward a job.

2. No one wants to hire an obviously homeless person. And as much as you'd like to think they have closets to put their suits in for job interviews... well... Maybe you still think they have those under bridges.

3. Being unqualified for current positions due to a changed workplace environment, a reason some people get fired, and as I'm sure you probably cant understand, flipping burgers at mcdonalds won't pay for many home situations.

Now. I'm sure, if you're stupid enough to read this, which wouldn't be surprising, you will have a rebuttal. That's fine. Cause all of this is going to get deleted. And with that being said....

Go Hanny. You rock for doing what you did and feeding those people. I'm sure you impacted their lives and maybe gave some of them the energy to go out and get a job working at Apple in the corporate offices.. Because miracles happen every day. And because sandwiches give your body energy to do the things.
lol No one on here as yet to give a real explaination of how homeless people are forced to stay homeless indefinitely.

My comment back to BobbyM was perfectly valid. Maybe you should read his post and think about it long and hard.

One person made a good point, Dirty Points, and I acknowledge it as so, even though it went against my argument. I am not the type of person to be completely stuck in my own way of thinking and am in fact very open minded in most cases. I simply wanted to hear a good example of how a homeless person had absolutely no choice in their living situation and I haven't heard one yet. There really isn't a right or wrong answer to this topic I feel. It's more opinion and perspective then anything. I have an amazing family, if somehow some horrible thing happened to them i'd lose my mind most likely. I'd have nothing to live for and who knows maybe i'd even end up homeless. The one thing I am sure about though is I wouldn't blame the state, country, or government for it and wouldn't care about getting a dollar from some stranger who feels sorry for me. People care way to much about stupid material things and put way to much thought into them.

So no I don't feel sorry for a homeless person because they are homeless. Maybe for the circumstances that lead to them being homeless but not for the actual state of being homeless as that to me at least is a complete choice.

Btw your points are terrible and I wont even give them an explaination of why because I feel its obvious.

It's called mental illness and substance abuse issues... one isn't a choice, the other started with a choice and turned in to an illness. I believe the highest majority of homelessness is caused from these 2 conditions. It's unfortunate that the "me" generation can't see past the end of their noses to understand and have some compassion for their fellow man. For most I doubt that it is an issue with their work ethic nor is it a personal choice for them.
But you still don't know why for sure. You admitted it.

Mental illness is a valid argument, however all of the mentally ill people I have ever met are generally really happy go lucky individuals whom are perfectly content with just about anything. Is it sad they are mentally ill? Not sure because i like to measure people's conditions based on their happiness and since the ones I have had the pleasure of knowing are almost always happy I'd say they are perfectly fine. They don't need my compassion.

I'm not completely sure on drug addicts. I have a few in my family and it did start with a conscience decision to take the drugs in the first place so.... However, I do see some good arguments for the disease case. Honestly if I have to choose I side i say its still a choice. After all I did start with a choice regardless of your viewpoint on the "disease" idea.

Funny you call me a "me" generation when I pretty much go against everything the "me" generation believes. I'm more old school. Eye for an eye, no excuses, get what you put in type of person. Not the "poor me" or its the systems fault type.

Not sure why this matters at all. But based on your last comment "...need to get out in the real world" I'm guessing you have no real argument so your just fishing for information for more completely unintelligent vague statements that bring absolutely no contribution to the topic. But ill bite since I'm sure your next comment while be humerous to me. Im 24 years old. Married and have 2 beautiful kids.

Take a few psychology courses to learn about addiction and various mental illnesses, as well as neurotransmitters and their receptors then reassess your opinions. I forgot the exact numbers, but a high percentage of homeless people are schizophrenic, and I promise you that they don't willingly choose to suffer from it. A lot of the time their untreated mental health leads them straight to homelessness. There is also a large variety of reasons why it is hard to get them to start and/or stay on medication to help treat it. Either way, your experience around other people that are mentally ill and/or addicted to a substance of any sort cannot be blanketed over the rest of the people in the world suffering from the same types of problems.... everyone is different.

Jeez. Hanny can't even give somebody a sandwhich without people arguing about it. My question is where was he? I didn't see him in any qualifying times or results. Is he doing 250E?

I took one. Just an intro though. We did discuss the exact things you mentioned however. With that in mind I guess there is no helping those affected because nothing can cure that. However, them living on the streets isnt what i feel compassionate about. I ofcourse feel sympathetic towards anyone with a true illness/disease like I would hope most due. This topic though is about homelessness not about illness. Different topics though i see your point, it is a valid reason for a person to be homeless, out of their control and therefore for those people I feel truly sorry for so i guess i do feel for some homeless people out there.

I believe the highest majority of homelessness is caused from these 2 conditions.

I'm as "old school" as they get, and have gotten where I am with that attitude. However, having about 30 years more of exposure to the human condition has given me a different perspective. Welfare is one thing, but homelessness and the primary contributors of it are completely different. I would suspect that in my 20's I might have had the same opinion you do, but years of watching people and their situations, but also committing time to serving others has changed that perspective.

I'm of the opinion that those of us who have been fortunate enough to find wealth and health find more true enjoyment and meaning in this life helping those that are less fortunate...regardless of the reasons why. You never know until you try it :-).

Right thats why you are still quoting me and commenting cool guy. If I'm just some keyboard warrior, what does that make you? Also, I doubt I'd get "clicked" being I never said anything bad, just stated my opinions on homelessness, just as everyone else. Either way it don't matter. It is what it is

Welfare is one thing, but homelessness and the primary contributors of it are completely different. I would suspect that in my 20's I might have had the same opinion you do, but years of watching people and their situations, but also committing time to serving others has changed that perspective.

I'm of the opinion that those of us who have been fortunate enough to find wealth and health find more true enjoyment and meaning in this life helping those that are less fortunate...regardless of the reasons why. You never know until you try it :-).
I completely agree with you. Well said. What Hanny did was cool but i guess I'm just a skeptical person and tend to lean towards publicity stunt. No idea which is the case as I dont know him at all. Hope it was genuine and if so good on him. If not w/e i get it. Funny how all these people on here will make bold claims that they are more compassionate then me all because I stated i have a hard time feeling for homeless people. Yet, i'd be willing to bet I've have put myself out there for others in need more then they. Or maybe not I dont know, just like they don't.

My comment back to BobbyM was perfectly valid. Maybe you should read his post and think about it long and hard.

One person made a good point, Dirty Points, and I acknowledge it as so, even though it went against my argument. I am not the type of person to be completely stuck in my own way of thinking and am in fact very open minded in most cases. I simply wanted to hear a good example of how a homeless person had absolutely no choice in their living situation and I haven't heard one yet. There really isn't a right or wrong answer to this topic I feel. It's more opinion and perspective then anything. I have an amazing family, if somehow some horrible thing happened to them i'd lose my mind most likely. I'd have nothing to live for and who knows maybe i'd even end up homeless. The one thing I am sure about though is I wouldn't blame the state, country, or government for it and wouldn't care about getting a dollar from some stranger who feels sorry for me. People care way to much about stupid material things and put way to much thought into them.

So no I don't feel sorry for a homeless person because they are homeless. Maybe for the circumstances that lead to them being homeless but not for the actual state of being homeless as that to me at least is a complete choice.

Btw your points are terrible and I wont even give them an explaination of why because I feel its obvious.
"lol No one on here as yet to give a real explaination of how homeless people are forced to stay homeless indefinitely."

The short answer would be there just isn't enough resources available to save everyone.
