    Everyone is in their position in life because of choices and decisions they have made in the past.

    So Arthur Ashe made a choice to be infected with the AIDS virus after a blood transfusion?

    So the over 3,000 people who died on 11 September 2001 made a choice to be killed by terrorists attacking our nation?

    Out of the 3000 people who died on 9/11- How many are homeless on the streets of SA?

    Everyone is responsible for themselves.

    the homeless, opps, I mean, lazy.

    I suppose you sent TPark a check or money order to pay for your education?

    How many are now homeless because of what happened on 9/11?

    I'll tell you it's more than the number that died.

    Was it their choice to become homeless? No.

    Yes everyone is responsible for theirselves and their actions but everyone is not in their position in life because of choices and decisions they have made in the past.

    Yes.

    The people who died on 9/11 are dead because they chose to go to work that day or chose to walk the streets or whatever.

    It is the same as when you drive. Everyday when you get into your truck, you are making the choice to risk your life.

    And that's their fault?

    Well, damnit, I want my donations to the relief funds back. ers shouldn't have gone out that day and tried to work so that they wouldn't be homeless.

    Oh...whoops.

    They did their daily routine! They deserved to die!

    And the thousands of people who are now homeless because off the attacks of 9/11, they deserve that too for being at the end result of a failing economy caused by those bas s who decided to go to work at the trade towers.

    You've still failed to answer two of my questions.

    1. Did you send T Park a check to pay him for his tax money that went to educate you since we are all responsible for ourselves?

    2. Is it the fault of 3,000 people that they were trying to go to work to make a living so they wouldn't be homeless and have Park pick up the tab on homeless initiatives?

    But that doesn't flow with your "Everyone is in their position in life because of choices and decisions they have made in the past." logic you had going before.

    9/11 victims are dead because the Good Lord called them up.

    Homeless become homeless for whatever reason, BUT, they remain homeless because they choose to.

    You can give the poor people the rich people's money, and in five years the rich people will have it back. There are reasons people are poor. The poor have the right to go to school, to get a job, to succeed in society. It's not the government's job to create a safety net

    3rd coast u are right about most homeless people. Most homeless people are homeless because of their poor decisions.
    So the 37% of the homeless people that are children choice to be homeless?

    But you just said people died because of the decisions and choices they made, that certainly doesn't jive with "God wanted them."

    What about the baby who's mom laced her bottle with meth in Poteet?

    Did the little girl make a bad decision or was it just God calling her home? It can't be both.

    Yes, except children under the age of about 7.

    9/11 victims are dead because the Good Lord called them up.
    They're dead because planes crashed into buildings and into the ground.

    Homeless become homeless for whatever reason, BUT, they remain homeless because they choose to.
    Some, a small percentage, but not all.

    You can give the poor people the rich people's money, and in five years the rich people will have it back.
    Wouldn't they be poor if their money was given to the poor people?

    There are reasons people are poor.
    Many, many reasons. Not just one ignorant reason.

    The poor have the right to go to school, to get a job, to succeed in society. It's not the government's job to create a safety net
    Yes it is. Because like isn't perfect, esp in the US. If there wasn't welfare or section 8 housing, the US would be one big hole.

    A baby can not make decisions, you are going to the extreme with this now.

    You know damn well what I am trying to get across here and you are nit picking at any miscue I might offer.

    I am simply trying to state that people make choices in life and must deal with the consequences.

    God has the final say in everything, however, regardless of our life ending tonight or 98 years from now, we must make decisions that will affect us and those we are responsible for in a positive way.

    Where there is a will, there is a way.

    If a homeless person wanted a job bad enough he could find one.

    Fine, then don't say "Everyone".

    Let's eliminate them from this discussion.

    Did Arthur Ashe choose to get AIDS-infected blood?

    And rights are good and all, but that right didn't pay for your school books. Money did.

    So you can have money to go to school, but a homeless person can't?

    You guys have no idea how hard the homeless have it. What if you had a few belongings, no food, no house, and was thrown out on the street? And u are given 50 bucks. What would u do? And u cant get a job most of the time cuz u need an address.
    Yeah, I've got the strangest feeling that's what's been said over the past 70-some-odd posts.

    You're right. I don't have an idea. I do have the thought that it just might be tough for some of those people out there to simply go out and get a job, home, food, medical, etc.

    3rd, how do you think homeless people get the job skills to do better? How do you think they get interview skills so that they can get a job? How do you think they try and get off drugs so that they can get a job?

    It sure as ain't sunshine and farts.

    I am not getting the school books part.

    I went to school and in middle school there were at least 5 kids that I knew of that were homeless or at least stayed at a YMCA.

    Public school is public, isnt it?

    Doesn't everyone have the oppertunity to go there and get an education?

    I am just not understanding what you are asking.

    I have worked with day laborers. I have cut lawns. In fact, no less that a month ago, in the 100 degree heat, I along with 1 immigrant from Mexico and 1 homeless person, cut 11 yards around town. We worked from 6:30am until 7pm with the only breaks for food and water when we were driving to the next job.

    There are manual labor jobs out there that do not require you to have interview skills. It is called muscle and will and desire.

    If you want that cash, then you will do whatever the job calls for.

    I am just not understanding what you are asking.
    What I am asking is how do you think they got the vaccinations to be allowed into school? Did the vaccine just appear out of thin air?

    Guess what, those free shot clinics are funded for with money, most from the government and some from donations.

    You had a thought when I wrote that some people are homeless through no fault of their own that they were there because of choices and decisions they made.

    How are homeless people supposed to provide proof of residence (NISD, the district that I believe you went to and the district I went to, requires that) when they're homeless?
