Yes, there are some lazy people in the word. However, most homeless people don't fall into that category and it's foolish to describe them as such. |
I think it's foolish and very idealistic to think that the mentally ill people are the majority. Just hearing my man talk about how many people he knew who were unemployed and on Welfare when he was growing up, and having kids especially so they could get more money from the "guvmint" jaded me a little. If I see a good person who genuinely needs my help, I'll help them. But that's very, very rarely a panhandler. Maybe I'm this harsh because I don't have enough money to give indiscriminately, but yes, I'll make my own judgments and to me most beggars are just useless.
