[QUOTE="darkfox101"] Yea they sniffed to much crack then went underdragonfly110

Every homeless person has a different story and you'd be surprised, I'm sure, to learn how many of those stories don't involve drugs.

you are right there, some of them fell out of money in perfectly innocent ways but the fact is at least the ones i've dealt with do not care and do not look for jobs

In most places there are few to no jobs, and they certainly aren't giving them to homeless people.

Once you have bad credit (and a homeless person is guaranteed to have bad credit) no one will hire you.

Free healthcare for the homeless is a waste of money. How about we give it to people who didn't give up on their lives? EVERY person in the U.S. has or had the opportunity to lead good life. The ones that work hard and never give up succeed. The ones who procrastinate and never work, fail. That is how society is and how it should be.SF_KiLLaMaN

Newsflash: worst economy since the great depression. Record joblessness. People losing their homes.

Also, the American dream is a lie and hard work never gets you anywhere. It's all about coming from money and having connections. People work hard and still end up homeless.

Your statement is a good example of the Just World Hypothesis. Except the world isn't a just place.

No thanks. Current healthcare already sucks. No need to make it worse.

That is how presumptuous one can be, and shouldn't be.

Everyone should be provided with healthcare, just as everyone should be provided with jobs and education.

'Life should be fair' seems to be the biggest one in my book. No one seems to grasp the ramifications of such a statement when they make it

Pretty sure a myth concerns something that was claimed to have empirically happened (but didn't, in reality), and not something that floats around in abstract like a "should".

'fallacy' would have been a better word choice I suppose

Most other devloped countries have come to this conclusion. Unfortunately the US is lagging behind.

I havent heard anyone state or even imply this.

The desire of people in general for fairness doesnt necessarily translate to a demand for a 100% fair life or to a notion that the default case is fairness in life.

Just voted. It's awful that so many people are uninsured and in desperate need of healthcare.

Thirty seconds' effort and I get to be all smug about doing something for the healthcare of the American uninsured? Hell yeah.

And how would this make that worse? Do you even know what the topic is about, or did you just read the title and decide to comment?
