Anybodys life can turn to **** at any time. Not everyone is living on the streets because they want to, and as I sit here in my house with the central heating on its not funny to think that in 2012 there are people sleeping in doorways in the UK.
Oh, I am not ignorant. Why do you think these people choose not to to live in a conventional way like the rest of us. I would say it is because they have some kind of addiction to a substance which will stop them from functioning in a way that is normal to the rest of our population. They know they can get help for this addiction but again, they choose not to as that is the hard option. The easy option for these "barnacles" of society is to hold a hand out and say "please mister, i needs me some food for i am poor and have no home". Would people go to drug dealers and buy these addicts some smack to give them like you would feed bread to the ducks. No they would not but people can't seem to compute that all a smack head wants is smack.
Well, that is how ignorant i am.
Why do other people think these people beg for money.
To be honest try sleeping one night rough, Most people on here have no perspective and wouldnt survive a week. Come back with your results
You must be an unemployed doley scumbag who leeches off the state by choice because you live in Liverpool, right? Because that is true of people that live in Liverpool, right?
100% right.
I am not saying all homeless people are dependant on some drug, including alcohol, but I would guess at 90%+. I am also not a troll I just seem to have a different opinion to most people on here. Maybe when somebody posts the answer to why people choose to be homeless and also why they think that giving a homeless person money is a good idea. What do they spend this money on as i have never seen them spend it. I don't give homeless people money as i have made the decision not to. I believe giving them money will not help the situation of homeless people at all so it will be of no benefit to me or the person begging for money.

There's no excuse for people been homeless in the UK. We have shelters all over and they take anyone in. It's their choice to live on the streets.

My giddy aunt.
Please scroll up and read the link I provided explaining some examples of WHY some homeless people choose to be homeless.............
Some actually want to stay clean from the addiction they are battling for example, the last place they want to be is in a shelter where they mix with other addicts.
Honestly, do some research on the subject, you have no idea WHY, you are just full of ignorant presumption. Jesus.
I spoke with a guy this evening that is French living in Brighton. He was working here last year. He lost his job, lost his flat and now is sleeping on the street. DWP won't pay him benefits. He has no passport and no money to get a replacement - he can't even go home to France if he wanted to.
He sleeps at the moment at a carpark that is being built. He is there because the construction workers allow him to sleep overnight as long as he is gone by 8am each morning.
He sits on the side of the street with no place to go. He doesn't beg. Still, passers by spit on him and treat him like dirt. Everyone is entitled to basic human dignity.
We could all so easily be there instead.

I see no problem with this, homeless or not!Still, passers by spit on him and treat him like dirt.
So, I read the top of that link but who is the author.
If this is true, surely there is a french embassy or something he can go to?
