Endless homeless addicts in California, tents for miles

[Elroy The Great]

I'd argue there are consequences for any choice. If you spend x time doing whatever then you are spending y time not doing other things. Those other things will suffer. And those other things could be good or bad things...and they likely will be good AND bad things & not just one or the other. So basically idk that this would matter at all.

I'll never understand what you religious types have with crying out, sympathy or realizing you made a wrong choice to late.

Life is about learning. You made you're bad now you gotta lie in it, but I don't see anything wrong with common to the right conclusion to late. Or if anything I'd say as long as you are alive you didn't even come at the right conclusion too late cuz you can still turn things around.


Idk that you can just lie your "genetic predisposition aside" first off. Hell I think you are probably picking your role models on those genetic decisions getting made behind close doors.

It sounds like an excuse, but we are built like that. Did your kid who got cancer at 4 years old & died fail?

Nah that sh^t was built into their DNA, they had the gene or w/e & they got got as sad, f#cked up or disturbing & w/e you can say that is idk that its about success or failure when the code for that being 93% likely to happen to you or w/e it read up in there had lil to do with their choices specifically at age 4 when you are barely responsible for anything let alone for how long you may or may not life.

1) doing one thing that you should know isnt the right to do vs doing what you should know is the right thing should be a no brainer.

''hhhhmmmmm.....do i start a family knowing damn well i cant even afford a free luch ?!?! HELL YES I WILL !!!''

yes. there are exceptions to everything. not every disastrous choice is doomed to stay that way. however, why would a person willingly set themselves up for possible disaster ???

choosing between useful careers moves is one thing, picking foolishness another. and if a person is unaware of what foolish decisions look like, they will find out.

2) im far from religious. i just believe we are here for a very brief time and have only one go at it. while i may not be sympathetic to a persons plight, i would not wish them to stay that way. just dont bring your plight to me. got yourself in that mess, get yourself out of it.

3) if a person is born healthy and develops into a somewhat reasonable young adult, i cant see how dna can play a part, neg or pos. im no specialist but i dont think dna is time released. outside influences/life lessons are usually reasons for failures/success.

overall, im hoping bums can turn their situations around.

I think the myth is the homeless are lazy scum and not people just looking for another chance in life.

Many have mental health issues from some sort of trauma and never really regain being 'normal'. Drugs often make them feel better or simply forget any suffering.

whats more of a shame is that these are homeless AMERICANS while those illegals get everything that these AMERICANS should get


sanctuary state doe

[siablo14]

unfortunately, most of those not near you are the epitome of gutter addict. had a clean life and threw it away for some recreational good times. end up spending what life they have left chasing that good time.

''how can i possibly have a good time if im not stoned/drunk ?!?!?!?''

why do normal people do drugs
(i can understand selling drug$)

is peer pressure among adults that strong ?!?!?!?

Ignorant........

If I'm a republican running against a democrat anywhere, I run this in the ads. This is what Democrats bring. They hate the actual citizens and love poor, uniformed immigrants.

Californians brag about their state GDP while their infrastructure falls apart and homeless people are multiplying. their liberal policies and social welfare spending on non-citizens is hemorrhaging their economic power bigly. people and businesses are leaving because of the tax hikes and commie regulations. the California bubble is going to pop soon. it's going to be hilarious when Escape from L.A. becomes reality.

[Teetotaler]

I forgot what city in CA was embarrassed of the homeless problem and decided to give them free shelter.

I live in DTLA and the cost to live here is insane. Most of it has been cleaned up a lot and it's mostly a hipster's paradise now with bars and restaurants.

That riverbed in Anaheim has been cleared out too but the county didn't really give those people anywhere to go so they kinda just spread out around Anaheim and Santa Ana. The problem with OC is the residents want an anti-camping law but at the same time they don't wanna build shelters for these people. They just wanna ship them off somewhere else and make them someone else's problem.

I'm just offering a possible solution.

Crops can feed the hungry, they just need someone to tend to them and harvest them. These camps could be places that offer some minimum level of sustenance and shelter for those that are down on their luck.

That’s a great solution. My uncle used to manage a 15,000 acre farm in the Central Valley and he couldn’t find enough people to work the fields.
