Miami want's to ban you from feeding the homeless.

[dusred]

That is an extreme case.

My concern is that if such a law is made it will hurt those who are genuinely in need. In my town there are no homeless but when I travel to big cities (Chicago for example) there are plenty of people who appear to be homeless and it tugs at your heartstrings a bit. Many of them are fakers I know but I think there are some who are genuinely in need.

When I was in Chicago walking down the street with some friends a homeless man came up to us and asked for some money to buy some food. I said here step in here and I'll buy you a hamburger and he said "f*** you" and walked off telling me he wasn't really hungry but wanted money for alcohol or drugs. I will rarely give money to homeless people. On the other hand when a homeless person will accept food that tells me that they are genuinely in need. That is the reason I'm against such a law.

O dont get your panties all knottef up.

But it feels so good.

Sorry but it annoys me when people reject a story just because Fox reported it.

Top rated? That just means people are watching, not that they agree with, or even believe what is being said.

If people are watching it that means Fox is doing something right. CNN and MSNBC have less viewers because they aren't as interesting to watch. Controversy = ratings. Kinda like in our Politics forum now that all the Liberals have crawled into their holes the forum has been quite boring.

Well maybe if they hadn't assisted in shutting down my favorite club in DC because they did a expose on drugs in the clubs down here... All that was a conspiracy to acquire the land to build a giant parking lot for the new stadium.

Also, when are they gonna do "When the homeless attack"? I wanna watch that one.

Don't slay the messenger. Slay the ones doing the drugs.

I dont always reject, Ive just learned (rightfully so) to question anything that I hear from that group. They prey on those too stupid to think for themselves.

This is what really really irks me. News reporting shouldn't be about ratings. It shouldn't, but is anyway. In its purist form, "news" should be about informing people of what is going on outside of the area in which they live. It shouldn't be about pushing the personal political agenda of some secret organization by putting a spin on stories to evoke the fury of the masses. What it all boils down to, is those who control the media have an exorbitant amount of influence on the government. But this is a debate for the politics forum, so Im going to leave it at that.

These are obvious observations. The alternative is worse.

Upon reading, I couldn't help but think about those animal safaris that you can buy a bucket and let them eat from your car.

Neither have I. I usually just hand them food and then they eat it themselves.

I bet these people don't realize that homeless collect trash, they don't create it. If they had new stuff it wouldn't be called trash.
