being homeless is not a choice, I’ve been there. Many times life throws so many obsticles your way that it is impossible to pick yourself up quickly from the rubish.. people who have never been there should not comment on whether its a choice or not.. you do not know. “You” ride around in you nice cars, go to your home in the hills, donate to your local charities ( that arent as honest as you’d like to believe) and feel that you’ve done your good deeds, and so have a right to comment on the human condition often placed on the homeless. Who in their right minds would WANT to be without a home? no one.. those who choose drugs and or alcohol are making bad choices and THIS keeps them homeless, but they are no different from you, the only difference is that usually they start at the bottom making bad choices, you started at the top…. Also the bible says that there will ALWAYS be homeless people… this does not change because your state has inforced a few programs that seem to you (the ignorant)as though they should help. It is a very hard thing to pick yourself up off the ground and move on with life after you’ve fallen completely from grace.. if you believe in America’s oh so great “programs” you are sadly misguided

haha! have you ever been homeless yourself? think everything is set up so easy? well it’s not. those programs aren’t always what they are cracked up to be. furthermore, people become homeless for many differnet reasons. it could happen to people from many walks of life.

Being homeless is a choice…There is no need for anyone to be homeless…there are jobs out there for everybody and all they have to do is get up and go get a job..They can make money (even if it means flippin burgers for three years) and be able to buy a home to live in so theyll be happy…

I tried it once.

Some people are homeless, because they buy to many drugs, that they are addicted to, like heroin, and such, and some homeless people are homeless, because they don’t know what to do with there lives, and they lose a lot of money, and they can’t aford a cozy apartment, or small houses.

In any socialist system there should be no one homeless. America being more capitalist then socialist is incapable of this. But in places like EU, Canada, and Australia the only homeless people are those that choose to be homeless.

Whether people can choose to be poor or wealthy is something different. I think it takes a generation to elevate a family from one class to another.

Homelessness is a state of not owning a home. That can occur for many reasons. There are many reasons why people haven't the opportunity to earn enough to buy a home, or pay someone for the privelage of occupying space more comfortable than outside.

***

Homelessness can include people that journey to much to locate anywhere in particular in a sedentary way as well. There are many journeyman occupations in this highly mobile era. Work may be infrequent and sporadic.

***

Much of the bias against homeless people is made by lucky sedentary people that aren't challenged much by the relocation parameters that may present to those without accumulated capital.

*** Much of human social structure of course traditionally existed to reinforce those with property and those that would be slaves or cheap, disadvantaged labor. A learning curve exists even in American democracy that would create progress alterity serialized to block some from earning enough to get what they need out of life in order to meet material needs.

***

Even lifestyle may be an issue...some structures exist that keep some people in SUV's, drive t a simple office, ten thousand baths and return home while others may sleep in deserts, swamps, and so forth struggling with chiggers, mosquitoes, ticks, abuse hurdled from cars, unlaundered clothes, injuries, no insurance, freezing, frsotbite, hypothermia, burning up in tents with temperatures reaching 30 degrees higher than outside, no internet opportunities and so forth. It can become a disadvantage to be disadvantaged...then of course age bias' grow, and the comfortable are ignorant too much and aren't able to address the situtation in meaningful ways if they wanted too (Katrina response was inadequate as then insiders are anti-environmentalist socialy neo-retardates seeking oil wealth perhaps from some perspectives).

***

It is a mstake to categorize all homeless people as having the same etiology, yet some may suffer similar infrastructure problems in earning adequate income to support their goals and not those goals of the insiders that believe that the homeless should want the same lifestyle as they.

***

All people need to eat, yet not all people going to a soup kitchen for whatever reason would necessarily be there for the same cause for instance. Some are drunks, some were made homeless by occupational obsolescense, wasting there time in college education that doesn't pay off, having a belief that an honorable discharge is meaningful regarding future job security in the civilian sector, being the wrong color for job criteria socially-circumstantially, federal incompetence or terror or even by a hurricane or invading army, treachery or stupidity...who can say?

***

There are many hidden pitfalls of course for the poorer job seeker. I will many only a couple here. in urban areas access to distant work locations on foot may be difficult, or housing or homelessness rather at night may place one far from even a temporary employment agency. If one makes it to something like a Labor Ready, since November at least 1 75 question personality test is requisite, and when one gets to question 39 (it may vary in number on various test sheets) one is basically required to admit to being a thief if one wants employment...that is one must answer all the questions, and as Williams James recognized forced options exist...in the case of the labor ready exam one must select at least one of four answers from every question and enter it in the elctronic keypad.

Sample hyperbole question and a replica question thirty-nine...

question 5-In the last job you had did you use 1) heroin,2)angel dust,3)crank 4)none of the above

***

question 14-when someone insults you vigorously would you 1)punch him frequently, never think of hitting him3)Where an angelic crown of glory 4)none of the above

***

question 27-In the last few weeks did you use crank 1)often2)never3)seldom4)rarely

***

question 39-Think of all the things you secretly stole from work the last year, was its value 1)more than 500 dollars 2)300 to 500 dollars 3) 100 to 300 dollars 4) none

***

The trouble with question 39 is that one must admit to having secretly stolen items from work the past year, even if you judge them to have had no value. Illegal aliens do not need to write to the internet that they are criminals before being hired.

***

I wonder if mediocre college graduate with a chip on their shoulder write silly question like question 39 in order to somehow blemish minority urban males, or any males unfortunate to do labor for 5 dollars and ten cents an hour. Illegal aliens laborers are under the radar screen and of no competition to the easy office work good pay class perhaps, and they aren't a threat therefore.

***

I can understand the concerns about the rich perhaps in importing lots of cheap ilegal alien labor to the U.S.A. In 1961 Nelson Rockefellers son Michael was collecting specimins in New Guinea along the Arawak Sea area just a hundred miles from one of the diminishing numbers of cannibal tribes on Earth (Natural History has an article on them in the current issue). Michaels body was never found. One can't ever be too cautious about blemishing the underclass.

Imagine a quick exam for illegal aliens by illegal employers...

***

question 1) Do you have a coyote help you get into the United States, or do you outwit the Department of Homeland Security yourself?

***

question two) Do you think its useful to learn english, and did you need to steal a car to get to your final destination in the United States?

question three) Is your housing situation satisfactory in the United States, are you buying a home in the U.S.A. or just in Mexico?

question four- Will you do a dirty job even if you don't like to yes/no?

question five- If your boss told you that President Bush is a moron with stale speeches and he could purchase better one's from internet cheat stores, would you toss a lemon pie in his face even if you don't like too? yes/no? etc.
