As long as the homeless people have been offered help and are not harming others why do you feel the need to do anything to them? Why does a class of person need to be reduced to ‘zero’? What if someone decided people like you had to be reduced to zero?
- burnished 5y agoLets talk about harm. Street people don't have places to dispose of needles, they don't have access to sanitation or toilettes, frequently are struggling with mental health issues in loud and sometimes frightening fashions, oh and I guess if you're a woman in that position you're in incredible danger. With that in mind, is it more clear why other people wouldn't want any one to live like that?
- chrisseaton 5y agoI already said > As long as the homeless people have been offered help and are not harming others So I don’t know why you’re giving examples where they are causing harm.
- burnished 5y agoBecause your example is just a distraction, no one cares about the people just minding their own business not causing any (visible) problems. Almost definitionally when we're talking about this we are talking about the people that are harming others, either directly or indirectly.
- bluGill 5y agoThese harmless people who don't want help are still a statistic and so the country is going to look bad in some report so long as they don't forcefully force them to take help they don't need or want.
