Would people quit making excuses for them. Please.

Well, you can put your hands over your ears all you want, but it is true.
Yes, 1/4 people suffer from a mental disorder at some point in their life time, although that includes ones which are less severe than others. Many homeless people on the street in fact have multiple disorders at the same time. I don't think you've ever had any mental health issues because you'd know they come in significantly varying degrees.
Think about it. Do you actually think people enjoy living on the street? Would you want to live on the street begging for change? No? I'm sure 99% of this board with agree with that. So why do all these people live on the street then? Because something isn't right upstairs. It is not correct to think it is ok to live under a cardboard box for the rest of your life. These people have some of the worst cases in society.
At some point, they passed the point of no return. Most of these people need rehab from drugs and alcohol or intense medication in order to become functioning members of society again.
