Like, having homes is cool.

Kind of a dick thing to say. Do you understand how low someone's life has to get to end up homeless, or that a large majority of homeless people are mentally ill?

My kid lived on the streets of LA for 4 months before I tracked him down and got him back home. It's sobering to pretty much know that when we can no longer take care of him that he'll probably end up back on the streets when he's older.

Programs to help the homeless shouldn't be so quickly dismissed using lame "lazy bums" rhetoric.

^my older brother was a drug addict and was homeless for a better part of my childhood. He chose that life. Your kid having 4 months on the street ain't **** when you haven't had to live your childhood with someone you were supposed to look up to, ended up being homeless due to his own stupidity.

So sit the **** down before you judge.

Dude, you are the one judging based on your "get off your ass and get a job" comment. My kid suffers from schizophrenia and aspergers. He didn't "choose" his life. He was dealt a ****ty hand. Being dealt a ****ty hand is why a lot of people end up homeless.

And don't ****ing preach to me about my kid being homeless "ain't ****".

First off, im judging the article based on my own personal matter relating to the situation, as are you. However, even though your opinion is different than mine, i do still have a problem with the homeless being allowed to get help from the city because 9/10, it's their own damn fault. Obviously, there are unstoppable consequences that fall into the 1/10 of homeless people.

Before we get into pages of argument, I'll say right now that I don't want to get into another battle of back and forth with you, because it's already been established that we disagree.

Let's cool both of our heads and just move on.

Nah, **** that. You just pulling numbers outta your ass now? How about you check some facts before being such a dick to a widespread problem just because of your own personal experience?

Do some reading or just STFU.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homele..._United_States

This IS NOT a matter of opinion. There are facts out there if choose to look into them.

Tell ya what. Go and attend a couple of NAMI meetings and listen to the parents and siblings of the mentally ill. Check into how the financial meltdown lost a ton of people their jobs, homes, and savings. Did you ever look into the fact that a large percentage of the homeless are children?

Don't ****ing throw everyone under the bus because of your ignorance of the big picture.
