Demonizing others is what lead to the gas chambers!

Demonizing? The idea of gas chambers came from progressives in the 20's in the UK and US to help eliminate human frailties in the population.

Well your last sentence is correct at least. A trait you may share with sociopaths whom YOU would, ironically lock up.. However, you are so ignorant about mental illness that it almost cannot have occurred by accident alone. It has to be part social con talking point or pretend. For example the overwhelming majority of mentally ill people, much like the overwhelming majority of those without a mental illness diagnoses, are not dangerous at all. Also medication is part of the treatment, much as not eating sugary snacks is for Diabetes type two but it turns out people ( other than you of course) are not perfect.
I suppose you believe that alcoholics grow up wanting to be drunks and choose how their body reacts to alcohol? Or that mental illness is caused by real demons?Maybe that addiction and MI are just signs of being "weak willed"? Or other archaic beliefs?

You insist on making this about me.

Presumably because you don't have anything but emotion.

The fact of the matter is that it's perfectly reasonable for homeowners to protect the open spaces in their neighborhood because they have families and property values to pritect.

The modern wino is a disease-filled crime ridden danger to society and they should not be allowed to congregate near residential neighborhoods.

I recall the story of the neighbors who got tired of the winos in their local park.

They could no longer allow their children to use the park.

So they bought a truck load of manure and spent a Saturday spreading the bull.

The wino problem drifted to pastures that weren't going to be greener.

The Vagrant problem in Oregon is going to drift to pastures with fewer stones.

This is why those people used to be called movers.

The homeless problem is both a product of and a black eye our society. It is a bigger problem in urban areas where housing simply is too expensive, even for many who work full time. Another sign of a house of cards economy. Especially given the many who require government help, despite working.
Deinstitutionalization coupled with a lack of the promised community supports , made homelessness the modern sized problem that it is and cities keep creating it. therefore they need to deal with it in a humane manner. These are fellow Americans, fellow community members, many of them vets in fact.

Are you telling us the homeless consist of full time workers who simply can't afford housing in "urban areas"?

[Tahuyaman]

Most homelessness is caused by drug addiction and or mental illness. He knows that. He's just trying to put the blame where it doesn't belong.

Not exactly. But do the math. How does one afford housing in a city on minimum wage without government assist? On the other hand it would be pretty hard to keep a job once you were out on the street.
What I'm saying is that homelessness is a symptom of underlying problems with both our economy and with the archaic way we view and deal with addiction and mental illness.

Sigh, over priced housing forces many working people to be government dependent for housing.

If some cannot afford to live where they work...why are they woking there?

What kind of idiot works at a loss like that?

They should move.

Nor is going braless a reasonable answer to not wanting to keep the boobies in the hatch. Since they are not, by definition, rational, it is not, by definition, rational to let them wander as a threat to others, and less importantly, to themselves, with the assumption that they have the ability to make rational decisions about living on the streets. on the streets.

Anyone that gives a crap about those people want them locked up for their own good.

Anyone that doesn't give a crap about the loonies, such ss mysekf, want them locked up because they present a clear and present danger to others.

Locking them up is the humane thing to do.

Anyone thst dies not want them locked up is using them for their own political agenda.

Housing shortages are caused by government interference in the housing markets and high prices are only one symptom.

The primary causes of homelessness is addiction and mental illness. Period. There’s no valid argument to the contrary.
