They are people who need help, yes.

Are they people who want help, though?

I just came out of three and a half years in the mental health field. It would be nice if we could wave a wand or speak an incantation that makes a person have no more mental illness. But that's not going to happen. And often the biggest obstacle to better mental health is that the patient isn't willing to work toward his or her recovery.

It is impossible to help someone who refuses to do their own part in recovery.

One of the biggest problems for recovering addicts are the friends they keep.

The gulf between needing help and wanting help is huge. as long as you keep feeding and clothing them and treating them with respect they dont deserve, wheres the carrot to lead them to get help?

The homeless need to be rounded up and put in camps far, far away from cities. they need food and shelter, sanitaries and medical staff to start seperating the mentals from the druggies and then each sent to their own camps for further evaluation and treatment.

hiw is any ofthis going to happen with bleeding heart liberals running the media and government.

blacks would call it racist.

without God its hopeless.
