The Homeless, Losers or victims of Circumstance?

What are your thoughts on homeless people? Do you give them some change or just walk by? Do you have sympathy for them or think they deserve it because it's the life they chose to live? Do you think they have a choice?

I want to read some responses and then give my answer. Just curious about the diverse opinions on the homeless.

Re: The Homeless

My thoughts on homeless people are as follows.
I believe that they do have a chance they just hit a rough spot in their life. I think that people should try and help them get back on their feet. I'm the type of person that would give them everything I had in my pockets. I've done it before. I do not think they deserve what is going on. I think they deserve a better life. People think that they have a rough life without even thinking about how bad the homeless have it. I've offered the less fortunate (tired of calling them homeless) a warm bed and a good meal. I would love to see nothing more then someone to get back on their feet after a terrible down period. This is my opinion on the less fortunate.

Re: The Homeless

No one should be allowed to own property and everyone gets to live wherever they are for free. That's my answer to the homeless situtation.

Post Re: The Homeless

I feel sorry for them because they have no house. They just need to find somewhere to go like a shelter. It might not sound good,but it's better than living in a cardboard box.

Re: The Homeless

I sympathise with the homeless allot, but I don't usually go out of my way to help them. I'll give them 5$ every once in awhile if I have it on me and I can spare it, though. There are lots of homeless in downtown Seattle so I see allot of them. And most of the ones down there actually work for their change, like dancing or something, so I they earn what I give them.

Re: The Homeless

Aw, c'mon you guys this is in the debate section, shouldn't we be arguing about them not detailing our thoughts?

To humor you and start the debate I'll give an opinion from one side, I'd really like it if someone challenged the opinion and started a debate.

The homeless are without the luxuries of the common folk because they decided to give up. Whether they ruined themselves or someone else did it is still their fault for continuing to be homeless. The people in New Orleans are rebuilding their homes and lives, in other words, trying.

They lay around on the streets and beg for this and that meanwhile the day is wasting away. While they were begging they could have been looking into job opportunities or finding some kind of rehabilitation center if they have an addiction that is keeping them on the streets.

There are shelters and safe places for these people to rest and have at least one warm meal a day and yet people still feel sorry for them because they choose to stay out in the snow and shun the help they were offered.

People who stay on the street and sell themselves for drugs or don't try to regain their lives deserve all that the cruel world or poverty throws at them.

(This is not my opinion on the homeless, I just like taking the 'bad' side 'cause it's more fun and I get to learn more about myself.)

Re: The Homeless

this isn't really much of a debatable thread... more a Cyber Lounge thread.

This man speaks the truth but when you do give money to them, more than 90% of them go blow it on drugs or booze. Thats not what u want them doing instead of money for food and shelter. These people have no idea what thier gonna do with themselves so i just pass them knowing that even if i gave them money they would kill themselves with alchaol and drugs
