Sadly, these people don't want to work because they are pathetic losers. Half the time they'll accept the job only to not show up the next day.
If you ever have first-hand experience with these people I'm sure you'll come to that conclusion as well.

This is what's troubling about your statements. The fact that you are making generalizations and lumping each and every homeless or disadvantaged person into a group and then identifying them as "those people". In essence what you are doing is denying them individuality and humanity - it's exactly the same thing as racism. I understand that you've had frustrating experiences - and it's entirely within your right to stop offering money or opportunities to people if you choose too. However, making blanket statements about a large group of people - any large group of people - is both logically and ethically flawed.
