Poll: Reaction to Homeless

December 7, 2006

I posted this poll, and unfortunately I cannot find a poll code that will work, so please jst post anonymously under comments. 
What is your initial reaction when you encounter a homeless person?
“They are too lazy to get a job”
“They will spend the money they are panhandling on drugs or alcohol”
“I wish there were some way to help them”
“I wonder how they ended up this way?”

    I agree with TJ. I would wonder how they became homeless though because it is sad to see that some people do have nothing but the clothes on their backs.

    homelessness is one of the most misunderstod social problems that is self perpetuating. it is difficult for people to understand how trapping it is, those without homes cannot apply to vote or get a job, which prevents them from making money to get a home. homelessness awareness would be one of the biggest steps in acheiving help for the homeless; it is not an issue of giving them change for the day, but helping them out of their situation via the system.
