sick and beyond

"sick and beyond"

that's stating it nicely.

Jonathan Rodgers...fought his way out of a heroin addiction.

Wrong.
Once a junkie always a junkie. He may not be using right now, but he's still an addict. And one day he will start shooting up again. That is, unless he passes away first.

[LaineyDee]

Now he just needs to channel all the energy he uses in his lobbying efforts........TO GET A JOB!

[Fresh Wind]

To many people, getting free stuff from the government IS a job.

no man's land

Pun intended?

This is a joke! Working full time at a McDonalds or some othjer minimum wage job will provide this person with about $1000 of monthly income. Let's call it $850 net. With $850, a person such as this can rent a nice room for about $200-$250 a month and still have a nice amount left over for food, etc.

HOMELESS MY ASS!! NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER FOR NOT DOING SO!!! HOW ABOUT LAZY!!!

only in places like Frisco. (anyone who takes umbrage at the term Frisco as opposed to the complete name is hereby noticed that I could care less.)

Question? would you like this guys fingers handling your burger and fries????????

"...sex work" is the phrase used repeatedly in this article. Sounds like prostitution to me!

The way MSM is going these days, it's hard to believe this person exists.

[San Jacinto]

The poor dear.

His only hope is for a democrat to be elected president. Every time a dem is elected president, the homeless problem goes completely away. You can prove that yourself by going back and trying to find big write ups about the homeless during the clintoon years. Nada.

But whenever a Republican is elected, the needs of homeless are once again a big problem.

Well no... but I don't eat at McDonalds :)

[DemforBush]

How much you wanna bet most of these people would turn down a fulltime job offer?

[yer gonna put yer eye out]

"We need more safe shelters, permanent housing, and mental health clinics to open up for us," said Rodgers,"


And who, Mr. Rodgers will pay for your free ride through life?
Where did you ever get the idea that someone other than yourself would be your primary source of support?
You are a poster child for laziness, self centeredness and GALL!

[SMARTY]

How about LOSER!

I have two words for the author of this piece:

Janet Cooke.

You're right. I've seen a few that quit a good paying job and made Medicaid/welfare programs their main purpose in life. Of course...with all the paperwork involved... it is a full time job ...just keeping up with it all. Your regular Joe trying to get a hand up... wouldn't have the time or resources needed to actually get help from one of these agencies.

As for jobs, the youth would like to see providers and places like the community center hire youth and hold more job-training opportunities.

Well, I'm sure that there are plenty of businesses owned by gays. Shouldn't they house and train these LGBT dope addicts?

If they won't, then they're hate filled homophobes! I suggest these "yutes" sue the gay business owners. s/
