How's THIS?

Christianity has done a great deal for love by making it a sin.

It really does.

Making it illegal to feed the homeless, making it illegal for them to pitch a tent anywhere, cover themselves with a blanket and now even sleep in a vehicle. It's insanity, it truly is.

I don't know what people expect a homeless person to do. I guess that if they can't see them, they can pretend that the homeless do not exist and are, therefore, not a problem. Maybe they are hoping that they will just starve to death or die of exposure so they don't have to deal with the sight of them at all.

When I read stuff like this (the original posting), it makes me cry. How can it not when you think of a homeless person just trying to catch a few minutes of sleep in the safest situation they can accomplish?

I do not understand how one human being cannot have compassion and caring for another. But the 1% do not have that compassion and caring. Hard to fathom sometimes, but unfortunately reaffirmed often by their actions.

I see stories like this pop up - last month, it was Google employees driving up rents, pushing poor people into the sea (figuratively).

Gay people, where is our American Shangri-La now? Obviously, you won't want to post it publicly here for heterosexuals to see - just PM me.

Which bedroom is mine please?

How is that not fair?

I'd like to see it made illegal for a government to allow a person or family to go homeless.

I'd like to see it made mandatory to provide them with a place to live, and food, and clothing.

I'd like to see these whiny billionaires taxed at an appropriate rate which would cover all that.

I like my plan better.

California is a really tough place to be homeless because everything is fenced off and I found the populace, for the most part, hostile to newcomers. I was getting ground down into hamburger in the big cities so I retreated to the National Forest with jugs of water and piles of books.

Even then, the Forest Rangers were right there to remind me that I had to move on within 14 days, and that I get a fire permit. The Rangers also reminded me that a vehicle being slept in had to be a running vehicle, so he made me start the truck.

I talked with a lot of Californians who were fed up with the homeless problem. There take was that there wasn't enough room for everyone, the land being all bought up and fenced off. The local municipalities send police out into the walmart parking lots to clean them out once a week or so. There is really nowhere to park except the National Forest, which I'm sure they are working on laws for that too.

That, "quality of life," issue makes me laugh. How about "quality of character?" They just want the poor and homeless to go away.

when we all go down there, park and take a nap? With enough cars they couldn't even get the tow trucks in.

Problem solved.
