Status: offline 		Perhaps the point Christine made, and which eluded you, is that many people do not own a home and are vulnerable to losing their dwellings should they fall on hard times. Indeed, few people 'own' their own homes: most homes are owned by the banks that provided the loans that helped 'purchase' them . 

PS: it's called 'renter's anxiety'.

Status: offline 		yes kittin, there are a lot of people like me who hold down full time jobs, pay for health insurance and just scrape by every month.  if something happened and i got more than one paycheck behind and couldn't make the money up, i could be living in my car for a while. it's not just crack addicts and mentally disabled people who fall upon hard times, sometimes it's hard working people too.

          And there is the critical difference.  For a while.  Staying there is a choice.  I'll even respect it as a valid choice, as long as they don't assume an entitlement to my money.

         This character made bad choices, for which there will now, finally, be life altering consequences.

Sorry, but I have to disagree.

Yes, there is people like this out there and yes, it does happen.

But as someone who spent most of his life in the city of Memphis which has a huge homeless problem, a rough snowball survey of my personal experiences concludes that these are a small percentage of people classified as "homeless".

Maybe it's different in other cities. I don't know, but the vast majority in Memphis are crack addicts.

I think it is a tragedy when something like you said above happens. As one of the members of the lower class, it could possibly happen to me. However, I highly doubt it, because I have and am sacrificing a lot to get ahead and I can think of at least 10 different scenarios that would put me under some kind of roof within a few days in the face of such a contigency.

I also think it's sad when the mentally ill have no place to go besides the streets.

But the majority of the "bums" out there right....don't feel sorry them in the least. It's not societies "failure" or societies "responsibility" It's a personal failure and a personal responsibility.

There is currently such a strong need for cheap, work labor that we have huge numbers of illegial Mexicans migrating into our country to do it for us.

People will argue this issue until the end of time of "What to do with the homeless?", but unfortanely, the homeless are an inevitable part of a free market and capitalism.

Status: offline 		Fast reply - even the most ardent meritocrats have to see that thirty five years (half a lifetime, really) is a teeny weeny bit out of proportion here  ?

Let's be pragmatic and use the dollar language: how much will this sentence cost the state?

Status: offline 		Spitting at a law officer, however officious he may have been, is not acceptable.
He should have got 50 years. IMO

When I posted I was just trying to "sort things out" I didnt realise the laydees were having a "luv in"
