Nobel cause. Go ahead and open up your home and take in a few bums, er... I mean homeless.

I have been in San Diego and surrounding area's, the majority of the homeless want to be homeless....addicts and drunks mostly who are not at the point that they want help or want to fix themselves....most have been given help numerous times and they go back to the street. The mentally ill is a different story, not sure what can be done for them other than lock them in someplace to keep them off the streets....Still baffles me why so many stay in California, that place is a crap hole anyway....I had to go there for work and I would never go back.....

Skeeter, your bravery astounds me.
You don't want guns because you don't want to fight adults (who are strong). But you are jumping up and down happy to kill as many babies as you can to control population (who cannot fight back).
Wow.

what? lol.
Babies is the wrong word. I am not in favor of late stage abortions.

What, not clear enough for you? You're the one that wanted to help the "homeless problem". I was just offering you a solution that should make you feel better. Or do you just want the tax payers to fund another wasteful program that will fail?
I'm not the only one who wants to fix the homeless problem. Everyone does, including you. The tax payers already pay big money because of homeless people, and it's ridiculous. So if we came up with a real solution that actually worked, I would be all for it.
I think they should set up little villages for the homeless. The villages would have restrooms and drinking water, and also security cameras.
That way the homeless wouldn't poop or do drugs on city sidewalks.

Both of you should pool all your money and make the difference....anyone homeless wanting better would be doing what's necessary to get better.....majority like living the way they do, all your money and goodwill won't mean anything or change anything....you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink....
Your taxes are already going toward the homeless issue. You're telling me you don't want it resolved so your taxes can go toward more useful enterprises?

I have a very simple solution to the"homeless" problem; quit feeding them! These bums are just like stray cats. As long as you feed them, they will keep coming around. There shouldn't be any tax payer money spent on this "problem", it just encourages more bums.

You are absolutely right, my apologies. You are correct that a person that wants to kill babies does not want to call them babies! When do they become a baby? How about when they get a heartbeat? Ok, that's 3 weeks post conception. So is it a 'late stage' abortion after 3 weeks? Please clarify.
I just LOVE when a liberal talks about "they". The liberal never wants to admit that 'they' is a hand reaching into MY wallet. Let's start here, Skeeter, open YOUR house so homeless people can move in. Load them up brother! Let's see how many days, minutes or seconds you'll let them destroy what you've worked to create. No? Well then please explain why opening my wallet is any different? Because believe me they've done their best to destroy my wallet, why is your house any different?
I think AD nailed it. End the free* meals. End the free* housing. End the free* welfare. You'll be surprised how many of the homeless suddenly will be able and willing to work when they get really hungry. Or let the herd move to states that will keep these tax-funded giveaways going.
* "free" of course meaning they reach into MY wallet to fund these efforts. Keep in mind, I'm paying MORE in taxes each year than the average American earns (pre-tax). When you start paying taxes like this, THEN you can start talking to me about 'they'.
If we don't spend any taxpayer money on them, they will die. I think if we spent taxpayer money the CORRECT way, rather than what we currently do, we wouldn't have homeless people trashing cities.

There are two quotes that come to mind here. Not sure who said them first, but I feel they are very relevant to this conversation about being "homeless"; "Being poor shouldn't be comfortable" and "An empty belly is the best incentive there is for a person to find a job".
We all know that throwing tax payers money at a problem has never solved anything. And it never will. If it did, every kid graduating public school would be a genius, there'd be no starving kids in Africa, no illegal drugs coming from south of the border, every country in the world would love us and there'd be no "poor" people in the US.

Taxes solve a lot of things, actually. To say otherwise is either dishonest or ignorant of facts.
Make it easy to be homeless, and guess what? You will have a homeless problem.
It's the same principle at "DON'T FEED THE BEARS" in Yellowstone.
And NO I'm not saying let people starve.
What happens when the tourists feed the bears? The bears get used to getting an easy meal and won't put out the effort to get a meal the natural way. Then they get to thinking that the easy food is owed to them and get unruly when they don't get it.
When tourists stop feeding the bears, do the bears starve? No!

We don't make it easy to be homeless. We kick homeless out of cities, we even build our benches so that they can't lay down on them. That costs us money by the way. And what happens? Do we still have homeless people? yup
