You are just a symptom of a sick society. I remember my grandparents complaining about paying property taxes. Their children were grown and they felt ripped off by paying property taxes.

Just like everything else, we vote for singular issues that affect us personally. We are not alone. Imagine your child was one of those homeless people. Imagine them being hungry and never knowing if they were going to live another day.

We may feel inconvenienced by a messy park, needles in the dirt. I have lived in Eugene my entire life, that area of town has always had those problems. It’s not like that is the only park in Eugene. There are a lot of much nicer parks all over town. I never took my kids to that park.

The city is just as much to blame. You have lost your soul if you’re more worried about a messy park or a perceived danger of a dog than you are other humans being fed. People who society has thrown away. It’s really gross!

Where else would they smoke it? They’re homeless. You morons are too much.

I hope you never find yourself in a bad situation. You all as in humanity have dehumanized homeless people to suit your needs!

No you don’t care about innocent children. You only care about lives that are being led the way YOU think they should be. Have you ever considered the suffering those people go through?

I don’t use drugs or alcohol myself but who the hell are we to judge others?
