Remind me, why am I supposed to feel sorry for homeless people?
I understand that they're on the street because of some tragedy or another, but how much of it is really their own fault for being lazy or incompetent?
How am I supposed to believe that everything is THAT stacked against them? I had shitty parents, I've ended up sleeping outside in the city, and I only got away by joining the goddamn armed forces. I tried to make friends and allies, tried to find work, and in the meantime, moved out and lived like a refugee, with some shitty abbo sleeping not two feet away, all in a bedbug infested shithole. Before that, I'd sleep at college clubs or with random friends -- thankfully not having to put out to do it. And even in my real youth, like 14-16, I gave massages for money and was trying to whore out and shit just to get enough to move out and only didn't stay in that "career" because the rates were shit compared to real jobs.
I'm settled and make decent wages now and support myself okay, but it took at least more effort than holding my hat out at people.
Why the fuck should I be guilted into giving the "less fortunate" money?
There's no way you can make it to the age of 30 or even 40 or 50 and not have had a single chance to get off the street.
