What is wrong with some people?? How hard is it to imagine the difficulties faced if you were hungry, homeless, tired, depressed, penniless, unwell, had nowhere to go, nowhere to SLEEP. Completely empty of basic resources fl0wer...what you wrote made me want to weep..."I saw a few weeks ago that someone was sleeping rough in that area, slumped against an apartment building's porch. More recently a very end-of-tether, thin lad was running round ED asking householders for casual work, saying the temporary homeless shelters were hell." DJKillaQueen you are right. Most of us are where we are by nothing more than an accident at birth. Get real, people and stop feeling entitled, start feeling grateful and share some of that luck you had...there is plenty to go round.
