Comments by "Freedom" (@freedomordeath89) on "LA's Empty Hotels Are Housing Thousands of Homeless. But for How Long?" video.
yeah, if you give a public house to a drug-addicted mentally unbalanced homeless guy, I'm sure his life will change!

@liacashmere58 No way to rehab or save crack-heads. Their brains are literally BURNED OUT by chemicals. You don't get it. You need to STOP THEM BEFORE they get addicts. There's no way to recover an addict. Only a minority gets saved. My family worked in rehab. It's wasted resources and time. You save 1 out of 100. With the same amount of money you could have helped 1000 non-addicts. What is the moral thing here? Saving 1 or 1000?

because homeless people have drug addiciton and mental problems, if you give them aid money they jsut spend it on the next fix, if you send money in Africa they use it to build a well or to build up a community farm. That's the difference.

@cait2449 So, you proposing COMMUNSIM? You want the state to ROB rich people and give handouts to lazy drug addicts? Smart idea...It worked so well in Venezuela, Cuba, Russia, North Korea etc...communism is such a GREAT IDEA! "capitalism isn't working" Here in Europe is working PERFECTLY! How come?

"capitalism" how is it "capitalism" if you get addicted to drugs and dont work and live on the streets?

@liacashmere58 dude... You do understand that recovery and rehab is not free? Is it moral to waste hundreds of millions of dollars to save 1 in 100 addicts, while there's people starring, dying of disease, wars etc. I don't think it's moral. Addicts need to fix their own problems

@cherimerchant6279 Bullshit. THe popular myth about people becoming addicts because "big pharma has a secret evil plan" is simply false. Take off your tin foil hat. I'm not judgmental. I just study sociology and statistics and I dont rely on false myths to "feel" better and to build up an imaginary enemy to fight..
