Only someone who has no idea how the system functions would even come up with a statement like that.

My words are very clear, Jiro. Read them. Stop trying to make them mean what you want them to and simply read what is written.

Debate 101 - dispute the statement with an actual case, not a line from Research 101 :cool2:

who me? but I'm trying to get some direct answer. not a deflection.
 
Reba, sorry to hear that you're hours are reduced. You're the third person that has told me that her/his hours have been cut. There are many people who are working part-time now and not by choice.

It has already been disputed, Jiro. You just don't seem to be capable of comprehending the words this evening.

My concern is not about winning some debate you think you have going. It is about the homeless families, individuals and children that are not able to access services in this country. And about the people who seem to think being poor is a crime to be punished.

You have been given several direct answers. You simply refuse, or are incapable of comprehending the answers you have been given. That, dear Jiro, is your problem, not mine.
 
My dad had several homeless friends. They are Veteran, meaning they have access to the local VA hospital we have here. But some of them won't go because they don't like doctors.

Hospitals, VA or otherwise, are there to house sick people, not homeless people. You can't check into a hospital just because you are homeless.

Just saying they do have access, just that they are mentally sick that they don't want people make them go. Some homeless people are like that.
 
It's tragic that veterans are one of the largest growing population groups joining the homeless. It's a national disgrace.
 
If a kid living in a car isn't a crime, it should be. Kids are at least entitled to running water. :roll:

Debate 102 - Debate is not about winning the points. That kind of juvenile thing belongs to some MTV show for some zinging. Debate is about raising the issue to make point in order to come to agreement to create a policy that is best for all. In order to improve the quality of life, one has to debate with others that this current approach isn't working.

When one is continuing to deflect, using non-specific argument or so... it's becoming more and more apparent one's stance is not working.

Most shelter systems are set up so that you can't keep a family together. A mother and child must get into one shelter and the father must get into another shelter. That's one reason that living in a car may seem like a more viable option to families.

At Charleston Crisis Ministries they have arrangements to shelter families together.
Crisis Ministries - Family Center
 
Looks like a great program! :D

Yes, running water is more important than keeping a child with his mother to whom he is bonded. :roll:
