They're such a nuisance and a problem that will never go away as long as we keep on opening up places like the mustard seed. I f'ng hate getting off work after a long tough day to have one of these filthy good for nothings ask me for change or a smoke. There is more than enough work out there so that these people could at least buy food or vices for themselves.

Wow, you're a real "throw the baby out with the bathwater" type of guy, aren't you?
It's okay to be concerned that people are abusing the system that helps get homeless people off the street. I get that part. For every system that people create, there will be abuse of that system. It will always happen but it doesn't mean we should close down all social agencies that help the homeless. For every story you hear about someone who choses to be on the street despite the help there are probably 5 that take the help and get off the streets. But those kinds of stories don't sell papers.
Also, you had a tough day so you find it hard to say no to someone asking you for money? Is that why you're so hateful about it? GET OVER IT.
