I'm genuinely trying to figure out why people hate on homeless people so much

I mean like,
I hear people say because they're addicts, deadbeats etc...

But that's not necessarily true,
I've heard of people being homeless and they were none of those things,
They just happened to fall upon tough times dues to a really bad turn of events ;/
Generally, it's easier to hate the homeless than it is to open your eyes and look into the reasons why this person is homeless in the first place.

Just imagine how the rich might feel to have to accept that even a full-time job doesn't bring in enough money to enable homeless people to at least rent a home and pay all the associated bills.

Could be many reasons. Some Homeless are very disrespectful trashing the streets. Shitting on side walks. Terrorizing Business by scary Costumers away and causing disrupting Employees and Managers.

Needles all over the ground.


Sure they have Mental Issues but that doesn't mean they can freely cause destructive Behaviors in the Public.

Some are Good Hearted and some just don't give a shit through out their whole lives.

I use to live in Downtown and My Experience I've met a lot of Crazy Homeless and even stolen Valors getting Discounts and Bumming for Cash using McDonald's or Burger King as their Excuse and caught them buying Drugs.

The Most to blame are the City Officials back in the day.


Idk how it is now days since I haven't live there in a while.
Yep, it can happen to anyone, just like becoming chronically ill. People think they're settled for life of they are born healthy and work hard, but that can change in an instance.

The thought that if someone is down on their luck, it must be their own fault is just an extension of that ignorance.

I would love to agree with you but the facts are on the other side. The fact is that there are no homeless people. People may not live in houses or other permanent residences but they still have a home whether it is a tent or a cardboard box or even under a bridge or tree. That is their home. Why do they choose to live on the street or under a bridge? Each individual is different but they fit into three broad categories. Drug addiction including alcohol, mental illness sometimes but not always brought on by drug usage and those whose life supports (family, church neighbors) have let them down.

I've done charity work and given to charities that benefit the homeless, so I definitely do not hate. I do think that some definitely need mental help on a level that few would do pro bono, and that really sucks.
@uncalled4 Yeah... and it's not just the homeless that need that sort of mental help.

The idiots who like to urinate just upstream of the rough sleepers at this time of the year need a psych evaluation, too.

Because they are at home both everywhere and nowhere, the only ones who can be described as international elements. They are in London one day, and Prague the next. But the people cannot follow. They are bound to their soil, to the possibilities that the nationstate offers.
@pianoplayingsteve that's only true for homemade and surgical masks, not for N95. Those protect the wearer against viruses spread by others too. Plus you don't know if you are infectious until the symptoms kick in so then it's too late to start wearing one.

Also, what does this have to do with hating the homeless? 🤔

@pianoplayingsteve lol! But I understand now, you're just posting random stuff in random places.
