Typhus

Just run the homeless out to the desert and hose them down with kerosene. That should take care of the problem.

Your compassion is noted.

Thanks. I am very compassionate for those who are worthy of it.

and who might they be,,,,,????????????

 

[bigpaul]

Why were you not allowed to screen upon them entering the UK?

probably against their human rights or something.

 

[bigpaul]

once any form of serious disease gets into the UK I am going into personal isolation until it has run its course, most diseases need a human host to survive and cannot live long outside of a human body, I think the one exception is HIV.

I saw a follow up report on this and Its reaching pandemic status with the Homeless . Now mind You for the most part the Homeless consists of People that choose to live a Vagabond life and have made Themselves homeless . Note in a blackout or other disruption of the norm this could infect Anyone . Even due to Someone's lack of caution and taking it home with Them and infecting Their Family .

What do you base that on, Psalm7? Most of the sober reports I see about this attribute the majority of LA homelessness to a severe housing shortage, high rents brought on by things like gentrification, and low wages in particular work sectors. The concept of widespread elective homelessness is fascinating, especially given the risks of disease, hunger, being targetted for violence, etc. I'd love to read more on it - can you point me to the evidence you've read?

Iv spent enough time around missions that work with homeless to know most cases are drug and or alcohol related with a few that just don't want better . You can feed , clothe, help find employment and They will in many cases walk away from it when they fill responsibility . And some is mental illness .

there are all kinds of homeless people some by choice others by circumstance and some are forced into it ,these for the most part are mentally ill who have been released for lack of a better way to put it,,,,into the wild,,,,either the feds dump them on the streets for various reasons or a family who doesn't care or lack the money to keep them,,,,these are the ones I feel the most sorry for,,,,,,simply because it is not their fault they are out there

 

[Psalm7]

Yes the mental illness cases are bad but also a small % . Most homeless can be traced back to life choices . Financial homelessness is a tuff situation but is usually short term . This lack of housing stuff Im sure can happen very short term . Iv known a few People that have lived in a car until pay day before . In this country every community has public housing or housing assistance. If Someone is on the street long term it goes back to life choices most of the time especially in LA or Frisco where City policies draw the Homeless from across the Country .

[bigpaul]

most homelessness in this country is because of drug or drink issues, sometimes both, also if your a single male you can forget about state assisted housing-they'll just laugh at you.
the majority of homelessness in this country is in the cities or the larger urban centres.

I'm not sure if there are clear lines.

Just the other day 2 guys were talking. They are not homeless (barely). Their conversation was about what crime can they do together to just spend the winter in jail/prison. They can survive, but winter is harder. So their easy solution is to get me to pay for their winter heat/bed/meals.

Are they mental? Not really. Are they petty thieves. Yes. But using jail/prison as a form of welfare is far more common than you'd think. I think a lack of work ethic is the cause of homelessness as much as anything else.

 

[bigpaul]

I've heard the same said here, some homeless person do a minor crime, nothing violent nobody gets hurt but just enough to put them in prison for a few months over the worst of the winter weather, then they come out just as the weather gets slightly warmer. knew someone who did this- homeless.

Is somebody holding a gun to their head to force them to stay in LA???

Is somebody holding a gun to your head to force you to harden your heart?

Come on Bluejoy, can't you rise above making a typical liberal ad hominem response?

whatever our political views are,it's inevitable that a major pandemic will have it's origins in a major city somewhere on this globe and it
will spread fast,faster what we can think,faster what our modern medicine can keep up to.
modern travel will provide a fast track for it,though my eye caught a quick news blurb,that some scince dudes think it will help us by
containing it,pls don't ask how as it is beyond my brains capabilities to understand it..

but when it comes,all I can say is ;brace,brace,brace...

 

[Psalm7]

Expecting People to take responsibility for themselves is not hard hearted. Its actually very caring.

I agree with the idea that it will start in a major city . I did see documentary that suggested a devastating pandemic would come from a rual or agricultural area where a disease would jump from animals to humans.
