[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like he should be in an institution. What kind of dickensian society leaves folks that are mentally ill, handicapped, with cold stiff finger ride it out in the corner from meal to meal? Or housing and disability? Is this not an option? WHY is this man begging? You should call the mayor for this scandal to be investigated. [/quote] A democracy is the kind of society who does this. Until we can force people to take medications or use therapy to treat their illnesses, we will have beggars. For people who are too sick to work, begging is effective. The more sympathetic they are, the more money they can get. I give to beggars as well as support charities. I grew up poor and have family members disabled by mental illness and brain damage caused by cancer. Either if them could be begging without our constant support and help. [/quote]
