They are not usually the ones defecating in the streets.
Others need serious mental help.
The line between the two is not the subtle “infinite variety” you make it out to be.
- turtlecloud 7y agoDude. Most of the time people complain about homeless it is the crazy people that shit on the streets. Don’t change the subject by saying people that sleep in cars or on friends couch’s shouldn’t be criticized too. They aren’t. That is why I propose a new term for the people most of us complain about. I use the term crazies or untouchables.
- zamfi 7y agoHuh? I’m not sure who you’re replying to. There are a number of people who are mentally ill, are unhoused, and need professional mental health help on an ongoing basis. They also need compassion, not a loaded stigmatizing label. The other folks down on their luck need shelter beds and housing they can afford.
