single + "members of households with children" does not equal 100%.

Unless couples are included in either of those two categories. Still doesn't get the number anywhere close to 75%.

I'd sure like to know this Republican who not only offered a homeless man a job but gave him a $20 bill, because there aren't any like that, that post here. If it were a Right Winger from VJ, he'd have shot the homeless guy in the back and claimed it was in self defense because they guy gave off a foul odor.

Wait a sec....this is one of them gay Republican jokes, right? A $20 #######. That is pretty funny.

Work is work.

Yeah, 75% is impossible if the numbers you produced are correct. Assuming a homeless universe of 100 people, if 76% of them are single and 67.5% of them are male then that yields 51.3 male homeless. Of the remaining 24% who are not single, 98.75% (23.7/24) of them would have to be male to get to a total figure of 75% male. We know that isn't true because there is a population (however large) of homeless people in which women comprise 65% of the population.

Geez, it's called hyperbole, get over it. The real issue is that you consider all homeless people to be worthless bums and obviously in your pursuit of numbers you have discovered that that is simply not true, haven't you?

You don't usually resort to hyperbole. In fact, you are usually quite eager to call others out on theirs.

I like the Filipino term for the homeless -- squatters.

[^_^ 5,021]

Homeless people who hang out on the sidewalk during the day and sleep in the homeless shelter at night can't be called squatters.

Can they be called homeless then?

IMO yes.

Imagine that.

Hey there! I am still actually registered Republican. I have given people money before. There are some here who would do that I'm sure, but maybe not those who post the most or loudest. As you know, not every person wants to get involved in political mud slinging on VJ, so they might not bother participating in these areas of VJ.

Most people on VJ would cross the street so they wouldn't have to walk by the homeless guy. That is, IF they saw a homeless guy. Most have already moved away from poverty-stricken areas so they won't have to deal with it.

Speak for yourself. I volunteer with the homeless twice a week. Yeah, thats right.. I help homeless people with their resumes, job hunt, interview practice, computer literacy, etc for FREE. Just because you are like that doesnt mean that everyone is like that too.

Touche' there, Stina. You just gotta shout more and type in ALL CAPS.

[2ndMessiah 184]

What Republican in his right mind would "give" a homeless person anything before he started working?

But, the Democrat would do exactly that, so the bum could get a dime of crack, a microwave burrito, a bottle of Morgan David, a refill on his cell phone, and a #######.

Didnt know homeless people had so much disposible income.

Three dollars is a lot of money to someone that has none.
