I have a store close to a homeless yute shelter...most are shiftless and not interested in working but they will beg for spare change... and will sell drugs. Sorry, no sympathy from me.

Around here, the young "homeless" call themselves "houseless by choice." They hang around the downtown all day, playing hacksack, panhandling, and blocking the sidewalks. Most of them are high school age runaways.

I agree, somone needs to tell these people "get a job ya filty bums". There are stores that would be more then happy to pay these people to work, even just bagging groceries and stuff, but they don't want to. They don't want to do anything, but cry for attention and live off the dole of tax payer money.

I remember watching a special about some homeless kids in seattle, I wanted to put my fist through the set when these kids were whining that the rich have so much and should give it to them, and that they don't want to work, they want to "explore" and be "spiritual" and its unfair for them to have to work if they want to eat or have a place to stay. They actually blamed society for not going out of its way to take care of them, and for giving them all these rules to follow.

I think I know the shelter you mean ;) Yes, they are very loud about their all-day dope smoking, drinking, bottle smashing, popcan hackeysack, out-of-tune guitar, shouting that horrible "Today, is gonna be the day, that I feel the way I do, about you now" song.

There are perfectly good gold mines in the Yukon that these people could be assigned to.

Earlier today I was toying with the idea of calling those selfless Good Samaritan Salvation Army workers from a payphone and trying to put in an order for some weed. "Oh, I thought you were a crackhouse!"

All in all, it's a clear lesson in how charity corrupts everyone involved.

I will never give another cent to the Salvation Army!
