I think harassing in judgement is just wrong. You do not have to give a handout-but yelling at someone...really maybe it is a vet with PTSD or a schizophrenic or maybe it is a deadbeat....do you think yelling at them offers a solution?

I've thought about all of these scenarios and, frankly, none of them do much to change my opinion. Veterans have programs: take advantage! Mentally retarded? Publix is always hiring! Is this the life you chose? Okay. But why, then, do you beg for money? Got an addiction? Get off it, and maybe you'll have a place in society.
Either hand you weigh, there's always a reason -- nay, an excuse -- for why these people are homeless. It's not my problem they're in that perdicament, so I shouldn't have to contribute to their poor choices.
