      If you treat them differently then it's prejudice. For example, I was at a laundry mat the other day, and the owner told a homeless man that he couldn't dry his cloths because his clothes stunk. I didn't smell the mans cloths. Maybe they did stink, but the guy should be able to dry his clothes just like everyone else.

        How is it prejusdice?! They bug me all time time for money, so yes, they get on my nerves. If you can open a door all day long, you can get a job washing dishes...or whatever

          No, prejudice is judging without knowing. And I know they get on my nerves and can get a job if they really wanted to. They are roaches, in general.

          And no he cant dry his clothes like anyone else because he'll stink up the machine. To use your example, it means that even if my shoes are full of mud or dog poo, I should be allowed to go to any restaurant without wipping them before entering....So **** everyone else...

                The reason I am posting this is because here in Montreal, its getting out of hand....Hobos are constantly bugging us for money...But yesterday...it was just to much. I was at a friends appartment and a hobo came knocking! Asking us for change! I said sure, for how much...
                You gotta be kidding me! I live in downtown Montreal and I feel your pain, but I never heard of one actually knocking at a door! (Fortunately, they can't at my place, since its locked downstairs and there's a security guard.) I never give them money. First of all, I'm poor. Second, I heard some social workers claim on TV that you're not helping them by doing so. Don't remember the reason. Maybe because they'll use it to buy some booze.

                  It's more than that. It's hatred towards individuals because they belong to a specific group. Perhaps you know that all homeless people are the way you say they are. I doubt it, but it's a possibility. That doesn't really matter, because you hate them regardless.

                  Not letting people put poop in the machine is something completely different, and I'm sure you can see that. It's not based on prejudice. And if people don't want to go to a laundry mat because they might smell a homeless person then maybe there's something about society that needs changing. At one time people in the South didn't want to eat at a restaurant where they might have to eat next to a black person.

                    I'm pretty sure society will always be adverse to stinky people.

                      homeless people arent always drug addicts, but they all certainly have problems.

                        My friend and I once gave booze to a hobo who was drinking a nasty bottle (a defrosting liquid I think). I think we actually helped him.

                            Don't you think you're being kind of hard on them?
                            Think about it a minute. What have squeegies done to you? They play an important role, and you damn them?
