it sickens me that no one helps the less fortunate...society as a whole is selfish and though it is sad it will take a lot to convince the government to do something. i am willing to work to help them becuase not helping is ruining good people.

Homeless people are drunks or drug addicts. There are the exceptions of George, who just has problems. I would think the only way to help someone like him is an institution or hospital. Maybe he chose not to do that before and so he is paying for it because he cannot hold down a job or socialize properly because of his possessed hand.

Why? That doesn't make any sense to me. People in America are not less fortunate. People are poor, middle class, are rich by choice, because everyone has the same oportunity to succeed. My uncle is a vietnam vet and now he works for a microchip manufacturer. He is far from poor might I add. Fact is that in this country all of our choices make us successful or not. I hate the word "unfortunate" and the term "Less fortunate" because it does not apply to anyone in this country. It is a simple matter of action and consiquence.

First, no one is obligated or duty bound to help the less fortunate. Much of it might be fate or destiny because of which they are so and so others who are more fortunate need not feel bad because they are so. Don't try to blame the more fortunate just because there are less fortunate people in the world. Charity is a favour and not something expected of you to do. If you can help just one person in this world, good for you!
