"Land Of The Free"

[quote]At least 31 cities have criminalized feeding the homeless. Measures passed "prohibit activities such as sleeping/camping,eating,sitting,and begging in public spaces,usually including criminal penalties for violation of these laws."[/quote] So free you're not allow to sit somewhere for an expended period of time.When you don't conform to society like everyone else,you're going to get arrested or beaten up,or both!Now THAT'S what I call #FREEDOM

  • They can get government housing and support. Homeless people want to be homeless.

      Some homeless people are disruptive. If they sit in front of a business it can cause that business to lose customers. We had a homeless guy last week that climbed up on a tree & refused to get down. He proceeded to throw pinecones & branches at people and things. He ended up causing $8000 in damages & he also has a previous criminal record. Thanks to people like him it ruins it for the others. Also most homeless are content just being homeless because it's easy money, they should want to do something more with their lives. Don't really think this law is bad.

    • In Illinois, you can get fined for not carrying at least 1 dollar on you at all times. I read too many weird state laws.

        While I do agree that criminalization of homelessness is a violation of freedom and I don't support this legal action, I will say a quote you may have heard before, "there is no nobility in poverty." Last night I went out to eat at a nice restaurant in a shopping mall. As I'm returning to my Audi, stomach full, with a wallet full of cash, a debit card, and multiple credit cards, a women who was wondering around begged me for a couple dollars or the food that I was taking home. I said no, and I would say no if that same situation happened 1000 more times. What I've found as I've been building a base of wealth and learning how to increase it, is that money is actually an unlimited resource. The money in my pocket, in my accounts, in the form of my assets, is not money that I have taken from someone else, because money is unlimited. The super rich are not taking money from the super poor. While, yes, the super rich are enabling a bottleneck to which the super poor have difficulty acquiring this unlimited resource, that doesn't change the fact that it is still unlimited. I do not find sympathy in a poor person, because I know that they can become rich if they educated themselves and moved themselves to a position with which they can become rich. Both of these requirements to getting rich do not actually cost anything. Former education costs money, yes, but with the existence of the Internet, former education is not a requirement to educate yourself.
