Ugh, yeah. One of the youtube comments made me feel a little better.

"the guy was arrested for doing a video like this"

I hope that's correct.

wah wah wah

i've been homeless before too

i'm talking about the perpetually homeless. the druggies and mental cases you see roaming around every city. not just anyone who doesn't have a home. the people who for whatever reason, can't seem to find a functional role in society. there's no point in leaving em to try to live off scraps and scams. might as well send them to an island and see what they come up with. it would be interesting to see how they fare in a new land. i'm saying somewhere fertile where they have the prospect of farming, hunting and all that. i'd wager that they'd end up with a better life than they had on the fringes of our society cause a) their drugs wouldn't be available and b) they wouldn't have to contend with already existing rules of society, leaving them free to pursue their survival in a more direct sense.

i hear what you are saying tore, about them gaining mobility. i was thinking about this last night and honestly, it would have to be an island that was blockaded by the navy to prevent any other humans like some whateverdude type greenpeace activist boat from going there. so what we could do is have a ship a few miles off shore that acts as a base for aerial drones that survey the island and the ocean around it, and predator drones that launch missiles at any foreign vessel that breaches the designated boundaries

so yea it will take a lot of work and due diligence, but i do believe we could theoretically give these homeless folk the island paradise that they deserve

That's so crazy it might work.

You're a genius.

See there are no laws against being homeless because in the Usa, you can be homeless if you want to. Don't give them money they aren't a problem for you that way.

I have been homeless before, a couple times, and it was because of poor choices, if the state stepped in, I'd still be homeless, just in state custody until they saw fit to release me. Once they let me out tho, still homeless.
Without state help, not homeless anymore, and won't be ever again. Lessons learned.

alright roxy, so what would you do with someone who is mentally insane?

like when i was in atlanta there was a guy walking down the middle of the street at night in downtown atlanta screaming to himself some jibberish about michael jackson. and according to the locals he wasn't even on anything he was just a nutcase. what do you do with that guy, roxy?

edit - also:

What about hobos trying to escape the island? Will the drones get them, or will they just be caught and tossed back? It would be inhumane to kill them, but it would also serve as an example.

Dude, WTF?

I think there might be some constitutional amendments preventing the government from rounding up a people who haven't, as far as the law knows, committed crimes.

Beyond that, seeing as how this is sort of an idea to save taxpayer's money, don't you think it would be a good idea to avoid involving the military?

there would be mini predator drones to deal with homeless flotillas. they would sabotage the flotillas, leaving the homeless with a life preserver to paddle back to shore.

But just think about how much the property values in previously bum-ridden sections of our cities will go up. It could end the recession.

What if the bum decided to use the life preserver to swim back to the mainland?
