Homeless people - Do we need them?

Lets face it. Homeless people and drifters are sponges that society could do without. Its the perfect problem as well because its easy to round them up and "deal with them" as its not like they have family or loved ones. Just need a place to put the bodies.

And just what would you suggest be done with them?

I'll leave that up to the government hit squads to decide. Some sort of mass grave might be appropriate. If they were incinerated then they could be used to generate electricity for the rest of the populous.

Hmm, an interesting viewpoint you put across pexy. Of course the question is not do we need them, as you suggest that is a foregone conclusion. the question as to what to do with them should suggest its own answers.

In My Opinion the best thing to do would be to round them all up and put them in a compound where they could be used for testing purposes.

And then we could probable "expire" them when all experiments are done.

On suge experiment could be to see whether a long scraggly unkempt beard alters the trajectory of the tramp when fired at a certain angle with a certain amount of force behind it

Any other suggestions?

Well, I'm off to climb back up there where I belong.

Wouldn't it be better to put them to some use? We could use them for medical research experiments maybe?

It'd be cheap....just give them a bottle of Buckie as payment, and it'd have the added bonus of shutting up the 'gorilla loving' brigade.:driving:

You should work for the government. Thats a really good idea. People keep on bleating on about animal rights but noone cares about hobo and tramp rights. We could get away with pumping them full of all sorts of chemicals. Any other suggestions on how we could cull the filth or use them for our gain?

Maybe we could set them all up with library cards and have them troll around on the Internet their whole life.

So, let me get this straight...if any of YOU were to suddenly, and unfortunatly become in a situation where you were homeless..would YOU be willing to be "dealt with"? Would you be willing to be put away in a compound or have medical tests done on you?

Remember, these are your fellow human beings. You or a loved one could be in such a position. So unless your plans are something you would want done to yourself.......

I won't allow myself to become homeless. I look after myself as number 1 and ensure that I want for nothing. It's no ones fault but there own. they should get jobs and stop being bums.

Wow, talk about trolling. Strange that all of these idiots have joined FG at the same time. Maybe this thread should be called "insensitive losers and trolls, do we need them".

I think a more interesting question is:

"Homeless people - Do they need us?"

Thank you, I appreciate that. Yes, I just finished a semester. And I do work too.

It's true that a lot of homeless people are in fact very lazy though.

How should the government deal with the current troll problem? Mass graves is a great idea!

Wealth, the acquiring of it and the use of it, is a deathly distraction from living.The term mendicant refers to begging or relying on charitable donations, and is most widely used for religious followers or ascetics who rely exclusively on charity to survive.

In principle, mendicant orders or followers do not own property, either individually or collectively, and have taken a vow of poverty, in order that all their time and energy could be expended on preaching their religion or way of life and serving the poor.

Many religious orders adhere to a mendicant way of life, including the Catholic mendicant orders, Hindu ascetics, some dervishes of Sufi Islam, and monastic schools of Buddhism.UpThereWhereIBelong's "I look after myself as number 1 and ensure that I want for nothing" is the antithesis of this approach to existence.

I suppose the fact that I remember it starkly as if it happened yesterday is a bad thing. But damnit it was still character building!

Everyone should be homeless for a while - but trolls should be homeless for ever.

short of being homeless. i moved in with my grandmother at fourteen. noyone ever took care of me aqain. i worked for my stay there and my clothes and anything else i wanted......i became an instant grownup........and learned the value of working for what you get out of life........:-3

I had a friend who was homeless when I was 16.

I spent a couple of nights at "her place". It was fun.

but we were young and carefree.

In October 2004 I had a heart attack. Screwed up things pretty good. I fell behind on my bills and quickly into debt.

April 2005 my heart decided once was not enough. That one really layed me out. I lost my job, my car was reposessed and I eventually got thrown out of my apartment.

I was homeless.

I did get another job. Low paying but it was a start. I opened a bank account and deposited my checks. It doesn't cost much to sleep on the streets. I shaved every morning at the mall restrooms and washed my hair with a garden hose they left out behind the local auto repair.

My dumbass ex-wife called me at work and asked when I was going to see my son. It's been three months. I told her he could hang out at the park with me all day as I'm on a first name basis with all the squirrels.

I eventually saved enough money to move to a place where there was a job in my field and that's where I am today.

But I still pay mondo child support. My credit is F'd for life. I eat what I can, when I can.

And if I lose this job it's back to the streets.

Pexy? Bring it on. But make sure you have the balls to lead the pack.

Because when I see you coming for me, I've got seven inches of steel I'd like you to meet.

That's a phenomenal story.

You saved money and kept a job.
