IIRC, it happened in the 70s, and I remember hearing stories that scared the bejeezuz outta me.
The real problem is that with the emancipation of the insane, the states cut their funding for mental health programs, and then people who needed help and wanted it could no longer get it if they couldn't afford it.

Given what goes on in nursing homes and mental care centers still to this day, I would absolutely disagree.Originally posted by Space05us
Certainly you would agree that its more inhumane for us to leave them on the street to starve to death, or die from treatable illness.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

"take care of him" has so many meanings.Originally posted by Space05us
I think a lot are mentally impaired, who in other societies would be taken from the streets and locked in assylums.
Why cant we do that anymore anyway? Its not all that inhumane to take a person who cannot care for himself and take care of him, is it?
Most assylums are not humane.Rethink Refuse Reduce Reuse

You also have the intellegence to know how to take care of yourself. You would be capable of making use of the homeless shelters and other programs already set up. You would also no doubt groom yourself and keep a presentable appearance.Comment

Depends on who's doing the beating and sexual abuse.
Seriously though, if I were a deranged homeless person I would rather wonder on my own. However if a person is having a detrimental effect on society they should be removed. We dont give criminals happy pills and then toss them back out onto the streets, so we shouldnt do that with the homeless.
If asylums were run properly there wouldnt be the rampant abuse.Comment

New York City and many other US jurisdictions outlaw living on the streets. I'm rather ambivalent about these kinds of laws. On the one hand, it requires the government to take care of these people, one way or another. On the other hand, homeless people, crazy or not, have as much right to the public streets as anybody else in this society.Seriously though, if I were a deranged homeless person I would rather wonder on my own.

It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt.

No. If they are not productive members of society then they dont have any right to the streets. They piss and **** where they please, carry around garbage and disease.
They are detrimental to society.Comment
