Ryan Wilson, I am all for helping the homeless. But it has to be in a control environment. I am all for local governments creating programs to help them. But when individuals do it that creates problem. I agree, they have problems. Many have mental problems, and that requires a control environment to help them.

When you feed homeless people they keep coming back. It makes the problem worse. The ball park in my city used to give the homeless people the leftover food after the game. In a short amount of time the homeless were gathering in large quantities outside of the stadium nightly and were becoming violent. It made the problem worse.

Count Deku, I support local governments using resources to solve the homeless problem. The key point of that is local.

Syrup, I have some experience with homeless people. My ex-girlfriend was homeless and I brought her into my home. Her mom was homeless at one point. They both had mental problems. It is a problem in my city. In order to fix it you have to control the situation. They are homeless for a reason. It isn't as simple as giving them food and eventually they can find a job. They do need help. To me the local government needs to handle it. More control and more professional because regular people in society don't have the resources or experience to manage it. When I was helping out my girlfriend it was stressful. She has seek professional help and now lives with her sister, but most people simply don't have the time to help people. There is a lot to it but by having normal people feed them it actually makes the problem worse, not better.

"When has any liberal said the solution is simple?" Kyle says that a lot. For example with healthcare he feels single payer will cover everyone and things will be great. Or that the min. wage will get people out of poverty. Or that raising taxes will increase tax revenue. It isn't that simple. " I do find the things you have said on this thread to be somewhat contradictory to the retarded shit you usually post." Because you don't understand my positions on the issues. I understand they are complex and have ideas who to approach them. Those on the left don't understand the complexity of these issues and feel the federal government can just solve everything.

People here have a knee jerk reaction as they have no experience at anything in life and feel we can just solve these problems with a magic wand. We can't. It is more complex then that.

It creates the problem of homeless people gathering on one area and become violent and chasing away people.

It isn't just healthy food, it is the fact that if you feed them they will crowd certain areas and ruin business for certain places or become violent. I am all for helping the homeless, but it has to be more controlled.

Beaver Ones, this is exactly what I am talking about. " Single payer will for sure work better than a private system. Literally almost every other country in the world proves that so you are just wrong there. " Which is not true at all. You are ignoring many variables. Different countries mean different cultures, different lifestyles, different challenges and economies. Two professors wrote a book on healthcare called "The Business of Health" where they ran through the numbers and showed that countries with universal healthcare are not better off than the US. That is not to say the US is better or that other countries are worse, it just shows that universal healthcare is not the superior solution. Even at that other countries don't so "single payer", they so some form of universal healthcare. But again, there is an entire book on the issue along with many peer reviewed studies showing what you are saying is not true. I present that where Kyle and his fans present arbitrary rankings with vague interpretation of the data. The issue is very complex. Your statement is very vague and shows you lack understanding of the issue. "The minimum wage is just a matter of what you care about, do you think it's more important to make sure the owners make as much money as possible or do you think it is more important to make sure that every worker has a wage they can live on? " The fundamental flaw of the min. wage is that it enforces how much is paid per hour, not per week. So if you raise it and hours are cut, what have you gained? " I also understand issues are complex and I also have ideas. Complexity does not mean the government cannot solve it." I agree that government can solve issues, however we need to control the government. And it is easier to solve issues if you micromanage them. You do both of those things by keeping government as local as possible. Take healthcare for example. I actually support a public option if ran locally. But going to a federal universal healthcare system will literally destroy our economy. Healthcare is 1/6 of our economy. In order to establish a universal healthcare system you will have to raise taxes on everyone at an obscene amount. You will be destroying may private jobs in healthcare and you will be radically changing our stock system as many stocks are dependent on healthcare. That will lead to many people having to readjust their finances and the way they spend money, including businesses. That means they will freeze spending until the economy stabilizes which will lead to a major recession. And in the end, as the numbers show, universal healthcare is not any better than what we have now. So to establish universal healthcare you will make many people's lives miserable and you will essentially gain nothing.

On an economic stance when homeless people gather in one location it hurts businesses as it deters customers from coming there. So Kyle says it cost X amount of money for homeless, but it also harms businesses as well which cost society money.

Soulkun13, I have a lot of reasonable things to say. Where am I wrong in this case for example?

With or without capitalism there will still be homeless people.

ch33tos sesh, when have you ever gave a citation?

ch33tos sesh, it is called science you anti-science fool. Animals will naturally go where food is at.

Count Deku, if one city wants to help homeless people out more then that is their business. Some areas don't have a homeless problem. If handing out bus tickets is a solution then fine, Portland can work on sending them back. Eventually cities will do something. The idea of keeping it local is they can micromanage the issue easier. Maybe create homeless shelters where they also work. They can do jobs such as cleaning parks for example. If you leave it up to the federal government they will just give them a check and tell them "good luck". Not a solution. You have to micromanage this situation.

Beaver Ones, I give counter points on these issues which angers those on the left where all I am doing is showing how they feel is not correct and not always a solution. Kyle says there is no debate in healthcare or the min. wage when in reality there are. Most of the time on these comments I am trying to get people to understand the other side's argument and how there are legit arguments there.

Count Deku, what will be that minimum standard? What will you base it off of? As I said, there are several cities that do not have a homeless problem. You allow the federal government to set a minimum standard it will set it too high where it will harm some areas. Compare it to this, something I know more about, the minimum wage. Several on the left even admit that a $15/hr min. wage will be too high in many areas. But the federal government have that power and if they want to they can raise it screwing over certain areas.

"There is no legit argument against single payer," I just gave one and again, two professors wrote a book on it. The one I gave was that in establishing it it will destroy the economy. "there is no legit argument against the threat of climate change." The question is if climate change is a threat? I study science for a living and it amazing me how little we know in the universe. I am writing a paper on a simple benzene molecule with two reporters attached to it. The fact we know very little about that system shows how little we know in science. Making a radical claim like "climate change is a threat" is anti-science. "People don't get angry at you because you give an alternative perspective, people get angry at you because most of the time the shit you say is absolutely ridiculus." No, they get angry because they are ignorant and myopic and don't like their firmly held, religious like beliefs to be challenged. I give resources and legit opinions on these issues. On healthcare I give peer reviewed studies but yet people close their ears and eyes and go "la la la". I am all for having a discussion here but over 95% of the time I am trying to pull people from the extreme left and move them closer to the center. "Often times you are indistinguishable from a troll trying to come up with the most ridiculus thing you can say just to get a response. " The fact you call me a troll shows you can't give a counter argument. Your only argument in support to single payer (which again, not every country has it) is that it is superior. You are the same as Kyle as saying there is no argument when there is. You are dismissing the other side just like a religious person does when their faith is questioned.

Beaver Ones, you said this " Single payer will for sure work better than a private system. Literally almost every other country in the world proves that so you are just wrong there" When every country does not have single payer, they have some form of universal healthcare. When you cannot get basic facts right you cannot begin to move on to opinions.

Two to three dollars per person is different nation wide. And people are homeless for various reasons in different cities. A one size fits all policy won't work, even if it is just a minimum standard.
1
There are multiple ways to take on the homeless problem and we should let the cities deal with it. Now as for California giving away bus tickets to send people to Portland, that is something the federal government can prevent via the commerce clause. One state dumping their trash essentially on another state is a dispute the federal government is there to settle.

" then shouldn't you follow your male witch jebuss advice" Who's "jebuss"?

Beaver Ones, I have read the reports on climate change. They are by a handful of scientists who are taking an extreme position on a vague topic. Climate change is vague and covers numerous fields in science. We know very little about the environment. I just sat through a 50 minute talk where a guy is trying to understand the physics of photosynthesis which we know little about. There are many scientists, including one of my friends, working on that topic. To those who make the hard claim that climate change is a threat I refer to them as evolution deniers. You deny evolution as a driving force of evolution is climate change. You feel that the ecosystem cannot evolve to the current change because you deny evolution. As for healthcare, all of those countries have different systems of healthcare. They also have different cultures. When pushed in a corner Bernie Sanders admitted that he will have to raise taxes on everyone, that is something our culture will not accept. When put up to a vote in Colorado 80% said no to universal healthcare because they did not want to pay higher taxes. Bernie won Colorado and that is a left leaning state. " the US spends it's money on the military" Defense spending is 3% of GDP, healthcare is 1/6 of our GDP. Simple math shows that cutting defense spending does nothing.
