There are many "homeless" people in NYC (and elsewhere) that live like royalty - they are on the dole, and still go out to panhandle, beg, or whatever. Even if they make a few dollars an hour, it's not taxed and they get to keep 100%, in addition to whatever benefits they are fleecing us for.

I'm all in favor of helping people that have had a run of bad luck, giving them a chance to get back on their feet, etc. Unfortunately, there are many undeserving folks who take advantage and get greedy.

Many of the homeless in New York are mentally ill and should be in asylums where they will receive the proper care. Enough innocent people have been pushed on the train tracks and killed, or attacked in other ways, by them that I don't want them running around on the loose any more.

In the 1970??s, (then) NYS Governor Hugh Carey closed many of the hospitals and put the patients in SRO??s (single room occupancy hotels) at the taxpayers' expense. The people that made out the best were the hotel owners and do-gooder lawyers from the ACLU who made it their business to see to it that they have ??rights? ?? to do whatever the hell they want, regardless of the consequences.
Breukelen advocaat Reviewed by Breukelen advocaat on . homeless man makes a good point. The Bible says to have an answer for why you believe, to those who ask you. This is a good example of an answer to one of the most common reasons people give for ignoring God and His goodness. A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard trimmed. As the barber began to work, they began to have a good conversation. They talked about so many things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God exists." Rating: 5
