Trump orders homeless evictions in DC

[Mac-7]

What year did FDR clear the homeless from Washington DC?

I stand corrected

The year was 1932 and Hoover was president

 

[Mac-7]

Well we wi have to build thousands upon thousands of those. They have to go somewhere as theyre american citizens.

Leaving them on the streets is better?

I dont think so

empathy counts.

Jesus had a deep compassion for the poor and marginalized, including the homeless, and his teachings emphasize caring for those in need. He identified with the homeless, stating that he had "nowhere to lay [his] head". Furthermore, Jesus linked helping the less fortunate with serving him directly, as seen in the parable of the sheep and the goats (Matthew 25:31-46).

Why do people like you who dont want religion in government, always use religion for your positions?
You are truly stupid, moonglow. A complete burnout.

Religion is about the person, not the government. If the person dignifies what they claim is their religion, they should act as if they follow the tenets of their faith. The fact that you lack empathy doesn't make you a god.

Why do people who want religion involved in everything have a negative outlook on the poor?

Some MAY be addicts?

Practically all of them are hooked on some substance

And the few who are not using have some other personal controlling their lives

We cant ignore 95% because of a few rare exceptions

So does government which takes in absurd amounts of taxes from citizens, owe these communities the investment of some of this money to assist the most vulnerable among us?

Again, this is more a problem in the U.S and Canada than other advanced nations. Then we complain "look at all the crime and problem!" It's also why I resent deeply those who destroy the lives of others and then point at the end result, meanwhile it was these same people who created the problem to ensure their homelessness.

The worst, are the finger wagging "religious people". The hypocrisy to me ensures that one day G-d will cut them down when their souls most need his support.

Hiring 1000 new cops doesn't solve crime nor the underlying contributors to crime. It's a very complex situation but I know this for sure, whatever approach we have tried for the last 40 years has not worked, anywhere.

There was a former cop in Ontario who wrote a book and he was honest and insightful having seen the worst of the worst his entire career. He said something profound that always stuck with me, to paraphrase, "there isn't any criminal I've ever met who didn't come from a broken home".

I'm a firm believer that when society shuns and looks to the darkness it will create more darkness which will eventually envelope them. Certainly the homeless just trying to stay alive aren't the same as organized crime or career gang bangers who are shooting people in the middle of the day.

So they should be basing policy off their religion? Is that what you are saying?

Research shows that Christians engage in more personal charity than heathens do

These dumbasses claim to be Christians, duh, motherfuckers who want to be mean can be mean and I will call them out on their actions....Stop claiming to be something yer not.

Congrats, the real deal is that Christians, like Jews, are not supposed to brag or tell other people they do it.

 

[OldFlame]

Trump shows what a great Christian he is, along with the OP....

Sorry, the 'Christian' card has been declined, expiration date was years ago.

We all know that, but Trump doesn't like to operate without playing his fools.

Then we’ll just keep that FACT between you and me for the time being

 

[Moonglow]

I never tell anyone when I do it.

 

[OldFlame]

This is a sensitive subject. Some might be addicts, what about those who just lost the roof over the heads due to costs or circumstances beyond their control?

My opinion, this policy hurts him more than it helps him. No one likes seeing bullying of those with the least power in society. Build affordable housing or as far as I am concern it is a failure of government.

These people are grown adults that need to fix their own problems, no one else can do it for them, enough already.

 

[OldFlame]

Where do these people go? Do we offer them some help after evicting them? With all the money we have id hope so.

To where ever they came from.

Why aren't the democrats 'caring' for them then? You're more than welcome to go take a few of them in, until you do, you're nothing but a hypocrite.

No one gives a **** what you 'call out'. Go help them, nothing is stopping you.
