@KIDNAPPEDKITTIES2 LOL. that's funny, i guess i didn't read enough comments. I compleetely agree. We are a very spoiled nation with a sense of entitlement. not much to look forward too if we keep going in that directin

@Auscann Sorry i was not serious just being a smartass.It was a snide remark for a couple of dishonest Canadians that just got caught collecting from Social Services.I believe anyone who begs on the sidewalk is lazy & needs to get off their ass & look for a j-o-b.Plenty of work if you really want to live honestly & not depend on the people or government to pay your way in life & d nothing to help yourself.

@KIDNAPPEDKITTIES2 ty for proving my point

[KIDNAPPEDKITTIES2]

@wiccachick55555 ...Sorry to hear that your homeless.Life is hard enough without having that problem.Can't be safe for a young girl like you being on the street.Any unemployment office offers free training & job referrals.Maybe your not finding a job because of your attitude ? Good luck to you.You'll need it !

@KIDNAPPEDKITTIES2 dude, im homeless, and honestly, not having to work, its hard to get a job, when youve panhandled outside stores, then goin to apply for a job, its harder then you think man, you gonna give me a job? didnt think so, so shut your mouth

Hello I have I commented alot on youtube and I have strong opinions and the main ones are about homelessness.

@KIDNAPPEDKITTIES2 I must respectfully say that at one point and time in the very near future we are all across the world going to be asking ourselves one question. Where will we sleep and eat?? Even if you have a great job and a place to live which you have been for years. Count every blessing cause it might not be there tomorrow. OPEN YOUR EYES EVERYONE!

@Auscann in 2000 my rent was a mere 525 dollars a month( i say mere because of what it is now)........now in 2011 my rent is 800 dollars a month...so how can you say that rent is not increasing????

Quack factories like PARKDALE COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTRE create homelessness by antagonizing clients and turning them off supports. They merely process people, like so much meat.

In May of 2010 the Conservative government announced a bill to essentially eliminate pardons, in favour of more narrowly defined "criminal record suspensions," thereby making it much harder for people convicted of a serious crime to be granted a pardon

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews

says the government wants

criminals to pay for the

administrative costs

of a Canadian Pardon

Please keep in mind that over 70% of homeless people now have a criminal record....Insane Politics....

To me wisdom suggests experience, which you're right I have little of, but I like to listen to people who've had it. Thanks for the advice and the discussion. I wish you the best of luck.

@BloggerMusicMan My childhood was living with 2 alcoholics who tormented each other daily.It was like living in a war zone.I ran away from home @ 15 & found myself in worse conditions.Most people wallow in their bad situations,blaming their childhoods but I had a baby to take care of & never looked back.I read that your only 19 but you sound wise beyond your years.I'll bet your only worry is what xbox game to choose,lol.Only kidding! Enjoy your childhood.And wear a condom .Volunteer your time.

2) Correct me if I'm wrong, but you also seem to be of sound mental health, which is not an advantage a lot of the homeless have, and that is a serious obstacle to getting off the street.

3) Even as it stands, I applaud you for getting your life back together. You seem like you've had a harder life than I do or probably will. But that still gives you no right to make condescending and overused generalizations about huge groups (millions in this case) of people.
