That’s great, but you do work.

How do you figure that?The sad truth is that a homeless person works much harder than someone like me just to survive and find some minuscule amount of comfort.
Put it together, Lisa. I’m sure you’re capable of listening to what I’m trying to say.How do you figure that?
Or you could explain how you figure they work much harder than people with jobs.Put it together, Lisa. I’m sure you’re capable of listening to what I’m trying to say.
So what about people with disabilities like people who are paralysed or otherwise incapable of doing things on their own. They must work too? Is it that hard to understand that homeless people are often just as disabled, it's just mental or invisible?Then they better work...don’t ya think?
I care about those that suffer, its just that I don’t think the answer is to give things to people just because they suffer. One of the biggest blessings is to find out that you can do things you didn’t think you could like work, hold down a job and provide for yourself, don’t ya think? I think its more demoralizing to be always handed things like you’re incompetent.So what about people with disabilities like people who are paralysed or otherwise incapable of doing things on their own.

Your argument makes no sense. Unless you don't care about those who suffer, which is the most likely impression you give off.
Yeah! WHO do they think they are?!?Where did they get the tents?
No, I mean really...where did they get the tents? They look like newer tents, and these are homeless people...how did they get tents to live in?Yeah! WHO do they think they are?!?
The nerve...... why cant they just have the dignity to suffer through their day-to-day struggle in cardboard boxes right? Or better yet, just die already eh Lisa?
They grew them in the San Fernando valley Lisa.No, I mean really...where did they get the tents? They look like newer tents, and these are homeless people...how did they get tents to live in?
Lol, you don’t know how they got them either?They grew them in the San Fernando valley Lisa.
Usually the tents are donated Lisa. Something you must not be very familiar with.......Lol, you don’t know how they got them either?
Someone wants them to be homeless anyway. One of the comments in that video is “what the video can’t capture is the smell from all the rubbish and faeces.” I imagine that poster is british..but he’s right all the same. How many of those people are also doing drugs? Or are alcoholics? We don’t know from that video..but what we do know is that its a mess there with people living like that and its hard on business to run with that. Another poster said she had to walk her dog in the street until she found some sidewalk without all the tents...its lawlessness and doesn’t solve the problem of homelessness, just makes more problems. This is not compassion.Usually the tents are donated Lisa. Something you must not be very familiar with.......
Many ways to get a tent:No, I mean really...where did they get the tents? They look like newer tents, and these are homeless people...how did they get tents to live in?
Sure..but why give the homeless a tent? That’s not helpful is it? Isn’t this making more problems then solving the one problem it’s supposed to solve...homelessness? I think just because it makes people feel good to give the tents..doesn’t mean that it is good.Many ways to get a tent:
- They buy them
- Churches
- Directly from public donations
- Homeless shelters often provide them
- Government entities
- Places like http://www.tents4homeless.org/donate/
- Probably more I'm missing, but these are a good start
A tent is not about solving a problem it's about basic human decency given to a fellow human being. We are all on this spaceship called earth. To be honest I donate my time a few times a year at my local food bank and most of the homeless people I have met are some of the greatest humans I have ever come into contact with, they all have a story as to why they are in thier predicament. I live in Arizona and cannot tell you how many I have met that lost everything due to fires in California. It's hard to start over from scratch sometimes but I'm here to help. If a tent or other basic necessities are needed, and I am able to help, I will and do.Sure..but why give the homeless a tent? That’s not helpful is it?

Earth is a planet. And you give that tent and feel good about yourself but the homeless are still homeless, you didn’t solve their problem and in giving the tent you have created another problem is all I’m saying.A tent is not about solving a problem it's about basic human decency given to a fellow human being.

Well MOST LIKELY they knew they were going homeless and before they lost all their money they made the smart decision to buy a tent???No, I mean really...where did they get the tents? They look like newer tents, and these are homeless people...how did they get tents to live in?
