So, Just the other day iwas walking around pittsburgh with my mom, when we saw random people sitting around with torn clothes, the "Money for the poor" sign...the whole nine yards.
So I got to thinking. Why are they really homeless? Why don't they try and do something? How many of them really ARE homeless?
Tehn you see the ones with only one leg. Um...How did they get that way? And couldn't they have gotten enough money out of what ever person was responsible?
You guys need to realize that they don't have jobs for a reason. These days there are not many jobs available, and since most of these people are only partially educated they get turned down from most jobs. Sillybear you did it right offer them food and some handyman jobs that way they stay out of trouble a little bit and earn money instead of just begging.
first of all you'd have to get your house either taken away or have to sell it for some spare change. How that happens is normally a financial process. Unable to pay mortgage? Looks like the banks gonna come and take your house. There's also the rising and declining ecomony, so that's an everlasting problem for the U.S. citizens and other capitalist countries.
People on the streets... well that's a toughie. The ones with one leg I can only assume are nam survivors... they are homeless due to trauma and not really being able to work (or at least that's what I think)... Some people do the begging gig just to be beggars and make a few bucks of spare change. Some are truly homeless because of the top reasons.
How to stop the homeless..... I really have no idea. There's not much money for people to open up several different homeless shelters.... Unless the homeless just get a job I would really have no idea.
Once I saw on the news video of a man in his 30's lying on the railroad. The newsman said that just two weeks ago he was a successful bank director and now he's a drunken hobo. It happened so suddenly and unexpectedly. This was in England I think. About those stories that they should get a job and make something from their lives, it's not that easy starting from scratch. When we come back from from school or work we have a worm meal and a place to rest. Homeless can't afford that luxury. I don't blame them for spending that little money they gain from generous strangers on booze. It's a way of escaping from cruel reality, they don't care being homeless while they are drunk.
Some homeless people choose to be homeless because they like being outside of normal society. That is probably a minority of them, but still.
My mom's technically homeless atm. Lives in a tent. I'd probably be homeless too if it wasn't for my friends taking care of me enough to make sure I know what the heck to do to have a home. I fail at life in general, and I don't really care about it at the moment. If the winters didn't get snowy up here, I really wouldn't mind stepping out of the chaos. Would probably try to earn some money for food, but aside from that...
It's their fault their homeless, When they had the opportunity to school they didn't. So they learned nothing and never got a decent job or... He/She was in a poor family who couldn't pay for his/her tuition fee, So they lived everyday in hunger and shame, then his/her parents died and now he/she is even poor than before.
Many of them could not survive in a competitive society and they are unwanted or they made a choice with which their family does not agree, so the parents threw them out of the house and have no place to live now.

It so easy to say that from the comfort of your home infront of a computer, have you ever actually volunteered and seen what is actually going on? I do regularly but even still I don't have the right to talk about it like that because it's not that black and white and you'll never understand until you're in the situation.
