What is Homeless?
1.
when one has exausted all resources and is reduced to the insane condition of toting a small travel bag, aimlessly riding buses, selling plasma, nodding-out in public libraries, standing in welfare lines, eating in soup kitchens, walking in a dream, sleeping in shelters and parks, worrying about the next fix, and knowing that going to jail is a step up on the social ladder.
Dude, maybe he's homeless because he's mental, can't care for himself, and nobody cares.

Somebody without a permanent home or residence. Usually can be found in public parks smoking weed and yelling at innocent people, sitting in the bus stop listening to a radio, on the freeway underpass, lying down on the sidewalk, or at Jack-in-the-Box.
I was in Jack-in-the-Box with my friends cuz we had to use the bathroom, and we had a conversation with a homeless guy there about 70's music.

A person who hangs out at a psychosocial clubhouse all day and sleeps on the couch or surfs the internet all day.
The homeless people there are mostly veterans!
Why should I go to the clubhouse? I'm not homeless,nor a veteran!

Just a normal person like you or I who didn't have much support growing up and ended up without a house. Some of these people are very intelligent, but just don't see a need to follow this "status quo" that everyone else follows. They understand that being lazy is something that is actually sought out for and not something to be ashamed of. All you assholes pretty much could've been a homeless person, but you barely escaped the gap. Shame on you assholes.
I have a 120 point IQ, yet I barely failed high school and now I'm homeless on the streets because my parents didn't want to harbor a high school dropout.

a person without a home. homeless people often sleep in parks, shelters, vehicles, or boxes. the government does not care for homeless people, which is why they exist in the first place, so the only people left to help the homeless people are non-profits and religious groups. many homeless people are veterans. this is because once the millitary is done trying to get them killed for a foreign policy mistake, they leave them to fend for themselves even though they do not have a home, hve possibly alienated thier family, and are not well educated. many other homeless people are mentally less capable. these homeless people are harder to help, because they of their mental illness, homelessness is a vicious cycle.
jimmy dropped out of high school because he did not have the type of intelligence the teachers wanted. while still a smart person, jimmy asked the wrong question, so he got bad grades. his parents would not support him because he had dropped out, so he lived out of his car. because he did not have a degree, he could not find work. wothout a scource of income, he was forced to panhandle on a street corner in order to afford fast food. now jimmy is considered homeless

let's stop and think about this:
homeless people are often (though not always) living proof that food, shelter, respect, prestige and social acceptance are all nothing compared to getting high. Homeless people have hassled me in the most humiliating, embarassing, shameful manners just to get their next fix. I'd be angry if it weren't so god damn humiliating and pathetic!
Homeless man stopped me on the street, stinking of hard liquor and obviously high on something, and begged me for money to buy food.
I'd be angry about the lies if it weren't so freaking embarassing to see the whole thing go down.
