    LOL - you need evidence that someone shitting on the sidewalk like a dog is making good life choices?

      No, I need evidence on your claim that less fortunate people forfeit their right to decide for themselves.

      Your elitism is showing.

      You’re a lost case. For everyone else reading: we cannot expect that people who for some reason or another got into a financial or mental health mess, are the ones who can get themselves out of it without help. Suppose a drunk person falls into a pond and can’t get out. And then you say “well, SERVES YOU RIGHT for getting drunk. You get out of the lake yourself!” Who- who? The hell thinks like that?!

      A person who’s top priority is “shit, what will I eat tomorrow? Will I be safe tonight?” should be helped by those like us, the one with the access, knowledge and resources. They should not be victim-blamed.

      It’s kinda weird when people are not empathetic to those in need, when you think about it.
