As has been said - people become homeless for various reasons, and I don't think we are the ones to judge them for how life has treated them. Putting up spikes in the corners of buildings and thus treating them like unwelcome pidgeons is just cruel.
Do you invite then to come and kip down in your porch?
This discussion is just racist and polemic, I don't even know why I bother.... The point is not that we will all start and invite homeless people to sleep on our porches, but that putting up spikes to 'deter' them is the wrong way. These are human beings we're talking about, 'is all I wanted to say.
Us pointing fingers at each other is going to help no one - maybe we should all just make a small donation to a homeless shelter and stop fussing.
A newbie who says in his second post "I don't know why I bother" is strange.
