You're misinterpreting the sentence. It's not a statement that people (in general) think homeless people deserve it, it's a statement about people who think that.
- anamax 16y agoActually, I'm inferring that the sentence was written by someone who is assuming the reason why folks don't do as he'd like wrt the homeless and responding to that reason. The reason that I say that he's assuming (in most cases) is that people typically don't explain themselves, they just do. More to the point, that sentence expresses a dissatisfaction with said "do", regardless of reason. Is it beyond the pale to question that dissatisfaction?
- Qz 16y agoI understand what you're saying but it seems like you're looking for a place to pick a particular argument rather than actually responding to the comment. I agree with what was said in the comment, but I don't have a dissatisfaction with how people do or do not respond to homelessness, so I would question the justification for making the inference that the other would -- maybe he does, maybe he doesn't.
