[QUOTE="CV355, post: 16080376, member: 181885"] If "helping" doesn't help, then it wasn't help. Some problems cannot be solved reasonably. If I had an endless supply of money (someone else's money, of course), and created a town filled with miniature houses in a cube-farm and gave one to every homeless individual, stocked with food and water, what then? They now have basic needs covered, and the vast majority will choose to not contribute back to society. In fact, they'll probably gravitate towards degenerate behavior, violence, and overpopulate. Don't believe me? Isn't that how Section 8 works? Sorry, I will never be convinced that any form of handout works. We already have programs that are there to support those who are legitimately in a temporary rough patch, and they get abused to a disgusting level. This isn't being heartless, it's realizing that feeding stray cats leads to more stray cats. Wasted efforts. What's the root cause? Address the root cause, not the symptom. [/QUOTE]
