Comment on Is it normal that I feel pretty bad for ignoring homeless people begging for money?

Right, because being homeless means a person couldn't possibly know what's best for them, best treat them like children, there's no other way! It's not like literally the majority of people are a missed pay check or two away from becoming homeless themselves, it's truly amazing how in that instance a person, according to you, suddenly loses all faculties of their mind.. 🙄

They’ve not necessarily lost faculties of their mind, nor do I disparage those suffering from homelessness. They’re humans, people just like you and me, but they often suffer from addiction and mental illnesses that would make financing them directly a negative impact in their lives. So how about you think about problems and how to actually solve them instead of getting rage baited like an upset Karen?
