We will have all the homeless sing up for a homelss program. In this program they will receive a home. How will they recieve a home? The government will randomly pick a citizen and force them to take the homeless person in. People have plenty of money, having to take care of one more won't hurt them. It may be a little strange at first, but eventually the homeless person would be incorporated into whatever family. This is a great way to elimate the homeless problem, and also start a lot of new friendships and relationships.

That's only for soldiers. The government can't forcibly have you quarter (not the torture method of "quartering") a soldier. It might not blatantly violate a Constitutional amendment, but it can be interpreted.

Looking back a bit, I believe you are right.

[QUOTE="-Jiggles-"]I'm pretty sure this violates a constitutional amendment.Diablo112688

No, because it is only putting an unfair burden on a family that has no responsibilities in taking care of homeless people.

I know that not all homeless people are homeless for being lazy in life or anything like that, but forcing a family to use their own resources in sheltering a homeless person (who could be a rapist, hold an infectious disease, etc) is wrong.

Obviously... everyone wants attention. Everyone desperately wants it, including you. That point is irrelevant. I am suggesting a solution. It is a good idea. This post is about the issues.

It is not about threads, the ultimate point being everyone wants attention. Mentioning that is completely irrelevant. There is no argument to be made. Stick to the issues or don't post in the thread.

Our system doesn't work without homeless people. WE need a certain percentage of them in order to sustain our resource consuming lives.

I don't think that's a good idea, the homeless person could be dangerous to the family and the family probably wouldn't be accepting of a random person living with them, I know I wouldn't be. However, some people actually take homeless people in, in cases like that, I see no problem with it, as long as the homeless person agrees to it and is in no way a threat to the people taking the homeless person in. :)

I wouldn't agree with that at all. Who would choose to be homeless? Nobody. Sometimes people, even people with good jobs can just get into a very bad financial situation.

We have homeless shelters......The people you see on the streets are there because they like it that way.......My best friends homeless Uncle walks up and down the coast of Florida......because he's a drunk and he wants to be alone, I guess.

You know most homeless are mentally ill right? Plus, who says people have plenty of money? Most people are having a hard time as it is, there isn't enough room much of the time.

I would never accept that. That would be highly awkward as well.

You are very very wrong. There isn't always a space for you at shelters. Nobody wants to be homeless, don't be ridiculous.

Alcoholic people don't want to be put into an institution where there are seperated from their drink.....Same goes for druggies.

Actually there is a percentage out there that do much rather like being homeless. The freedom, they like it that way among other things. It isn't like every single one, but about 20% would rather keep living that way.

It is a horrible idea, putting some random person from the streets (could be mentally unstable, alcoholic, anger issues) into a home of people who have no idea off his/her background. The only solution is for them to get a job.

A lot of homeless people are alcoholics or have a mental illness. Have you ever had a flatmate? it's hard enough living with a socially capable person. Do you think it would be like having a fun Uncle around??????
