The sheer visible number of homeless shows that the "many many programs, agencies and chartities" either aren't numerous enough or they aren't effective.
I am more and more disheartened by the indifference people are willing to show toward the disadvantaged...But this comment goes beyond that.
Don't want to be helped?
**** me.
Who wants to have to deficate in an alley? Wants to sleep outside in the cold and rain? Wants to...
It goes on and on.
Perhaps the ways we have been trying to solve the problem are the issue? Rat intested social housing dumps? Degrading and dehumanizing clean-up programs?
Do you have any idea how many of these people who "don't want to be helped" have crippling mental diseases? Addicitions?
Do you not think that the closing down of hospitals that used to treats these people isn't critically responsible for the influx?
Which takes precedence?

Well excuse me all to hell for not wanting to give $5 of my money that I work 40 hours a week for to someone who
won't find a job in an economically sound city. And I guess I'm the ******* forcing people to get ****ed on listerine and crack and then go **** in the C-Train. Probably even more of an ******* for trying to ignore the brash, crude, obnoxious, foul nature of derelicts shouting in public places.
You can only help people who are willing to help themselves.
