(2,479 posts)There are a lot of factors, and luck has a whole lot more to do with it, in particular the luck of who are your parents, are they well-off, or OK, do they abuse you, are they concerned with you, do they promote seeking something better than being a burglar, thief, robber, rapist, or murderer, or do they even give a crap??
Even so, a question to ponder--so what, you've made bad decisions, you've screwed up, your head ain't right--do we still allow homelessness. If you're hooked on drug, we set you a-wandering within society with no ability to right yourself, no place to stay, nothing to eat. I say no. But mostly the debate never gets to this stage, as it requires people to face a reality they are unwilling to face.
But some, like Ron Paul fans, are willing to "Let them die, be sick, or whatever." Most are just cowardly people who ignore the whole issue, or what the chain of events leads to.
