    Yet there they are in Australia doing the same thing. What, you arrest them? :roflol:

    Why are your young people homeless??

    The statistics also showed people aged between 20 to 30 made up a quarter of all homeless.

    Perhaps you should worry about cleaning up your own house before you comment on ours.

    TX is run by a Cons governor. I guess he does a lousy job at cleaning up his own damn state. And you talk about CA?? :roll:

    These are the people the Christian right want to turn their back on and leave them to die.

    An internment camp in the desert

    We will have to feed them and provide latrines and showers

    But other than that just leave them alone

    The governor sets the law for the state. Perhaps you can study some civics before you try to "teach" it to me.

    Make up your damn mind. You said that libs showered these people with money and now you claim that it is the evangelicals. So evangelicals are the enablers now according to you??

    Often veterans constitute a fair number of our homeless,they seem to have a hard time to assimilating back into civilian life.

    The executive executes the laws

    The legislature makes the laws

    Of course, but it should never be in CITIES.

    Do nothing. Prevent them from 'camping' in cities/towns/suburbs etc, and let them figure it out.

    No, we cannot. As long as we make it optional they'll never choose it.

    They don't like shelters because shelters have rules. They are homeless in the first place because they have the rebellious child's attitutude to rules and responsibility.

    That's the ONLY option. But they should not be allowed to live in cities/towns.

    Heck, you and I can't 'choose' where we want to live so freely. It's outrageous to suggest that homeless drug addicts should be able to.

    And achieves absolutely nothing. Worse, it actively destroys the individuals and the cities they congregate in.

    Cheaper and easier just to keep them OUT of cities, not interrred somewhere.

    Nobody has the right to deny others the use of public space, and sleeping in public places denies that space to every other citizen in America...

    Why is it dangerous? I thought the homeless were good hard working folk experiencing a temporary downturn in their economic circumstances?
