If you saw someone that you know, living on the street, would you offer them a place to stay with you?

No.

But I may try to get them work/job if they really want.

@ABCDEF7 Homelessness is a symptom of a sick society. Getting them a job is ignoring the sickness. It's like taking a runaway woman or kid back to an unhappy home.

@sree251 Firstly I don't have enough space at my home. Secondly if I can arrange job for them, I will also be arranging rented accommodation for them. But they would have to pay rent from their income.

I believe in teaching someone to fish instead of giving them fish to eat. A healthy society is when people are made capable and do work to earn their living, and not when they feed on donations.

@ABCDEF7 You don't see anything wrong with society? It's like a sea filled with fish and all everyone has to do is get the fish.

@sree251 Yes, I hear you on that, if that's the situation.

@Dv8rs What did you hear? Can you tell me? Looking back at my earlier post, I don't get what I was saying.

@sree251 I have no idea what I was talking about, or what I heard, lol. Doesn't make any sense to me.
