Liberals, Laziness, and the Homeless in America

[initforme]

I'm retired...I did my stint. Been retired for 22 years. Collecting my social security plus used my Medicare benefit once for hospitalization. We know there are homeless. The point of the post is preaching to the choir. Your only rebuttal is to call names. Keep up the great work....wink wink

Look, Some you cannot get help for. The courts do not help you unless you can prove they are a threat to others or themselves, and even then the hold time is usually short. However you did it, you are fortunate. Most are not. Be thankful, rather than accusatory. Every situation is different.

That went too far, imo. Unless you have had a family member that suffers from mental illness, you have no idea. Be glad you don’t.

Two young homeless men (20’s easy) were flopping outside the Wal-Mart today. One of them did not have shoes. But they did have a well fed dog and cigarettes to smoke despite their greasy dred hair and filthy clothes. I bought them “pop top” canned foods and plastic utensils, plus coffee, sugar, and lighter fluid. They were talking to an Army minister when I actually apologized to them and said, “guys it ain’t much...but I hope it helps.” These two were a product of the Neo-Democrats Liberal Great Society. Beg rather than work. Democrats want a victim class. They are narcissistic and condescending. They will think me an asshole for my core beliefs...but hard work and a paycheck would help them two today. But, the are millennial generation. “Mom kicked me out of the basement, now I’m homeless...what will I do.” Work=Paycheck. Billionaire liberals like Soros and his lackey Clinton’s want a victim mindset. We need a mindset that we live in the greatest nation on earth and can achieve a good life. Wonder what Mexican illegals think when they look at the white shit begging?

From a personal perspective - one of those men could easily have been my brother, who, in his early twenties, sick and psychotic from schitzophrenia - was homeless for a period.

Well that I believe. You are so freaking unhelpful and avoidant of contributing anything to the society that you wouldn't even help your own brother get a home and help in such a terrible situation.

Yet even though the though of helping your own family members revolts you, others should help total strangers... okay. I can see where the mental illness came from when surrounded by people like this - I would be insane too.

I have family members who suffer from Schizophrenia. Not homeless. What prevented Coyote from getting his brother some much needed help? Maybe the fact that him being a total asshole, he didn't give a shit.

What in the fucking fuck? Are you now saying that there is some physical force field Star Trek style barrier holding Coyote back from helping his brother, and getting him some psychiatric help?

Wow... these people seem to in fact believe that it's literally IMPOSSIBLE to help even their closest ones, but yet somehow, total strangers should help them. Okay...

 

[depotoo]

If you truly had a family member that is, you would readily know it isn’t that simple. Look, I don’t agree with Coyote on a lot of things, but your attack is here is totally unfair.
Having an adult family member that wants no help, refuses their meds, and in which the courts will not help you with, by signing commitment papers, unless they are an immediate threat that can be proven, you have no ability to help them. Bi-polars feel normal without their meds. It is easier for them. Plain and simple. I know.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Yeah, I bet the issue was that he refused medicine and not that there was nothing to refuse... I bet I bet.

Coyote did everything he could to help, for certain, only after every possible method was exhausted did he accept that his brother was going to be homeless. Totally...


I didn't say helping was easy in every case. But I am 99.9999% certain that Coyote didn't even try and did nothing to help his brother. Just look at how the message was worded "My brother just casually happened to end up homeless". You can't be serious... Now by being a socialist he thinks he can somehow make up for it.

 

[depotoo]

Unless you walk in another’s shoes...

My sister has ended up homeless a number of times, due to her refusal for treatment, and the courts short holds. She chose it, the courts did nothing to help, and you finally have to say a prayer she survives it. She is a survivor though, she always finds a man willing to take her in and use her for awhile.
So don’t even go there. Do you know what it’s like waiting for that dreaded call to one day come?

Most instances of homelessness are not like that at all. In fact...did you sit down and talk with them?

From a personal perspective - one of those men could easily have been my brother, who, in his early twenties, sick and psychotic from schitzophrenia - was homeless for a period.

Maybe less judging and giving of your generous help without censor...would be better.

Let’s hope your bother is doing better and will continue to do better. We have a mental health issue in this country, where do we draw a line between helping and forcing.

With metal illness it is tough to know when to push and when to hold back. You are in a rock and a hard space, take care.

You might not have a realistic choice.

Nope. Nice try. They were just societal drop outs. Your use of you legitimately mentally ill brother in this situation I find offensive to mentally ill people who need help. …

How do you know? My brother also smoked pot…

Well, there you have it. No wonder he's mentally ill.

 

[depotoo]

Of course, you having never lived it, and feeling helpless to be able to do anything, wouldn’t understand the pain families go through watching their loved one self destruct, and being totally helpless. The laws in this country are on the side of the mentally ill, rather than to allow help be gotten for them. At 18, they are considered an adult, and courts side with them, rather than the families that are trying to help. Unless they actually do harm to themselves or others, and if to themselves, they have a swinging door in and out.

Relevant? Nope, please go on with your monologue. Again, I never stated helping people was easy in every case. Doesn't mean you shouldn't try when its your family members in question.

 

[depotoo]

Drug use and pot make mental illness worse, in most cases. It is often a form of self medicating that does not work.

Well that I believe. You are so freaking unhelpful and avoidant of contributing anything to the society that you wouldn't even help your own brother get a home and help in such a terrible situation.

Yet even though the though of helping your own family members revolts you, others should help total strangers... okay. I can see where the mental illness came from when surrounded by people like this - I would be insane too.

I have family members who suffer from Schizophrenia. Not homeless. What prevented Coyote from getting his brother some much needed help? Maybe the fact that him being a total asshole, he didn't give a shit.

If you have family members with this disease, you would realize how difficult that disease is - when my brother had his first psychotic break he was a teen as was I. When he was homeless - he was 22 - and it was for a few months. My mother did everything to help him - but in the mid 1970's there isn't a whole lot you can do and the prevailing theory of schitzophrenia is not "brain disease" but frigid mother. When the person is an adult your options are even more limited in regards to what can legally be done. My brother has had periods of stability and some more serious breaks and was almost homeless again. You have no idea of the things we had to do to get him into a safe and stable situation and at any point he could have walked out and made a different choice and our hands were tied. So fuck you.

 

[depotoo]

And once again, you have no idea what others have tried to do. Quit being a self righteous prick.
