I've volunteered with the homeless for years. Someone doesn't get laid off from a corporate job and go live on the street. These are folks who exhausted the social safety nets, ran out of family members to impose on, ran out of friends' couches -- they're alcohol and drug addicts who burned all their bridges. Many of them have never held jobs at all.

- curtisblaine 3y agoNo, but unfortunately they're much harder to help than the former ones.
- misja111 3y agoYou're trying to put these words in the mouth of a person that has volunteered with the homeless. Isn't there a contradiction somewhere?
- tdudhhu 3y agoWhat are you trying to say? It's their own fault? I also volunteered working with the homeless. There is nobody who chooses to live on the streets. Those who do have mental health issues. I am 100% sure it is a society problem, not an individual problem.
- jkman 3y agoYes, there absolutely are individuals whose homelessness is their own fault - every case is unique, some definitely did it to themselves and the majority did not. But placing all homeless on some sort of pedestal of morality is a really bizarre opinion from my view.
