The fact that you call all homeless people "mentally ill drug addicts" is very telling. Do some basic research. I hope you find some empathy in your heart.

- ciguy 3y agoI don't need to research, I deal with them on a daily basis just to go about my day because in my town they are everywhere. The fact that you are ready to simply dismiss someones lived experience based on a few flawed studies tells me everything I need to know about your agenda.
- mrguyorama 3y agoThankfully, your limited life experience is not a total and accurate picture of reality, and we can collect actual, rigorous statistics on this kind of thing that don't depend on people without empathy judging from afar.
- duwease 3y agoBut why is it OK if you dismiss someone's lived experience AND a few studies in favor of what is only your lived experience? Given the demographics of the site and people's explicitly stated experiences, it seems plenty of the people disagreeing have had experiences similar to yours.
- monktastic1 3y agoWhat do you suppose their "agenda" is, other than encouraging you not to be condescendingly dismissive of a whole group based on your limited sample size?
- thinkingtoilet 3y agoSurely you know the difference between anecdotal data and actual research?
