They are always begging me for money at Safeway.
Why can't they just go on Craigslist and find a job.

Isn't that basically what I just said?
Some people do the samething with the chronically ill and the disabled.
Sorry, that was Ti running rampant. I was making a clarification that the direction of the hatred is misdirected. "Hate the sin, not the sinner," etc. e.g. Actual homeless people aren't the cause of hatred, but a person's own insecurities are.
Some people hate homeless because seeing them reminds them of how vulnerable we are in this society and they hate the fear that brings up so it feels better to direct hate towards the homeless.
Actually, I hate that there is homeless people because it is an inefficient application of the division of labour. Those bastards could be doing something they love AND be homeless at the same time! But no, they just hang around and ask for money. Not their fault though. We need an ENTJ to scoop em all up and start a bare bones company or something....
no no, a temp agency! Wouldn't you love to hire homeless temps? think of the money you'll save !
You guys should also know that being homeless perpetuates itself.
If you're homeless, you can't take a bath. If you can't take a bath, you smell. If you smell and go to a job interview, you likely aren't going to get it due to hygiene issues. If you can't get a job, you can't work your way up or pay the few bills you had before. It's a vicious cycle.
You can't really be homeless where I live. Without an insulated and heated residence you would die in the winter. So I'm not familiar with the social situation. How odd.
What a bizarre topic.
I will say that, living in the Bay Area, it's impossible to walk two blocks without someone lunging forward and demanding money, then screaming after you if you decline. (Seriously, anyone who's even visited San Francisco knows what I'm talking about.) So. I don't like that much.
