Since the wretches of society want to hold their little 'tent in', those of us that don't agree with the issue, and the people involved, should show up to cause their little 1960's love in BS as much grief as is humanly possible. Something that should've been done the first time.

We should be able to get just as many, if not more, involved. It's about time the inhabitants of this city get off their duffs and show them that their cause means nothing to those of us they leach off of. - Thu, 24 Jul 2008 1:08am

So, my neighbor put out a couch and a love seat with a for free sign on them a couple of weeks ago in front of our townhouses downtown, They were actually pretty nice couches, and someone would have picked them up that sunny Saturday I’m sure, however there was a crack head sleeping on them from about noon until 4am. When me and my boyfriend came home late that night I complained that the dude was still sleeping in front of my place… he had pulled the love seat over top of the couch and made himself a make shift home. So I dared my boyfriend to go outside and flip the love seat off of him and maybe he would get the hint and go away! So I watched from my kitchen window as he went out to the boulevard, and he bent down and flipped the whole fucking couch and love seat right onto the road. bicyle and all…it was the funniest shit I have seen in a long time...he didn’t leave, he just flipped the couch on top of himself and slept there the rest of the night, however he didn’t sleep there the next night and someone came and picked up the nice couches…lol...no I have no sympathy and yes I'm evil and found it funny…today’s lesson? Don’t fucking lay your homeless ass in front of my house or you will end up on the road… - Mon, 11 Aug 2008 3:27pm Edited: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 3:31pm

There, but for the grace of GOD, goes Chopper. What a hero! Want's to go attack the homeless! Protect the PTB's so they can legislate higher taxes, a higher cost of living and vote themselves some big fat raises. Meanwhile, the war against the middle class continues with the carbon tax driving the cost of food higher and higher, and Chopper wants to attack the homeless.

remember that you are allowed to motivate yourself to keep making more money than the next average joe.

well if you go harass them you may well help them, by getting public sympathy on their side.

also remember many of these people are not hippies, I was at the last tent city, there were a fuck lot of homeless workers there that got up to go to work in the morning, as well as drunk punks, metal heads, crack heads, hard drug users, people with mental illness, ect.
and not all tent city people are necessarily believers in pacifism and/or non violence, you may just end up stabbed by a junkie or drunk. - Sat, 6 Sep 2008 1:05am

You might be wise to question haw the homeless are driving the cost of living up. Since people without homes can not collect a cheque from the gov't, how are our taxes going into their pockets? Seems to me it's the gov't employees who get the bigger slice of the revenues - certainly much larger than any mentally ill or substance addicted streeter. Although, with all the sheeple floating around, thinking the gov't loves and cares about them, it's not a wonder they've been lead to believe the homeless are collecting all the benefits.
While Mr. Campbell and his underlings enjoy loading their bank accounts with carbon tax revenues and partying with thelobbyists & ceos of the megacorp petro-chemical companies and the pharma-giants (more tax revenue vampires) who will never help reduce greenhouse gases or offer a cure for cancer - there's just no incentive for them - the sheeple will continue to blindly follow along chanting; "THE GOVERNMENT LOVES US!" "THE DOLLAR HAS REAL VALUE!" "IF I WORK 80 HOURS A WEEK, EVERYTHING WILL BE FINE!" "GIVE US MORE GOVERNMENT!" "RAISE TAXES!" "SAVE THE ELITE!" "MORE GLOBALISM!" "EXPORT MORE JOBS!" "DOWN WITH THE CPP!" "MERCURY IN VACCINES IS GOOD FOR YOU!" "ELIMINATE THE MIDDLE CLASS!"

Really, who has more time to spend thinking about making things more expensive than those with the most to gain from higher prices? - Sat, 6 Sep 2008 1:26am

You're right; our tax dollars dont go into thier pockets... its goes TO CLEAN UP AFTER THEIR FUCKING DISGUSTING MESS.

" there were a fuck lot of homeless workers there that got up to go to work in the morning, as well as drunk punks, metal heads, crack heads, hard drug users, people with mental illness, ect"(btw its ETC)

homeless workers... hmm; so they collect a pay cheque? WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY HOMELESS and need to suck off society to clean up their messes? Tent city, the last time, destroyed a church ground(how honorable is that?) because they felt the right to sleep there. It was a shit pit after you and your filth were done with it. And who cleaned it up? Not those honorable working homeless people cuz they HAVE jobs apparently.

I have NO sympathy for homeless bums in this city; and no one can change my opinion. What can I do, you ask? Well, I can voice my opinion just as DAj voices his opinions everywhere. And Im SURE I dont speak for myself when I say that harassing them just so they can be in the public eye for sympathy is a far cry from reality. I garentee you that the "public eye" would be turned. - Sat, 6 Sep 2008 9:29am

Not true. The average single homeless person can receive a monthly support cheque for $235. $282.92 for a single homeless person with the "Persons with Persistant Multiple Barriers to employment" designation, and $531.42 for a single homeless person with "Persons With Disability" status. - Sat, 6 Sep 2008 9:54am Edited: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 9:56am

Fair enough. The criteria for the PPMB designation are quite stringent. The designation can be obtained only with proper certification from a physician, and must be reviewed every two years. Not believing in money/the Queen/basic hygiene/the work ethic does nothing as far as establishing eligibility for PPMB income assistance. - Sat, 6 Sep 2008 5:26pm Edited: Sat, 6 Sep 2008 5:27pm

'Since people without homes can not collect a cheque from the gov't'

Are all the people from The Perish inbred monkeys or what? Can't get a welly cheque unless you have an address. Gotta love well known urban legends.
It's actually quite easy to collect a cheque without an address. Call a friend who isn't homeless and ask to use his/her address.

I think your a slave to your own cause as well. You feel like you HAVE to change the world; though people dont want YOUR change. You feel the need to critisize everyone about their lives and how they CHOOSE to live them. Yet; I haven't seen or heard anything(aside from this messageboard) about you and your so called "crusade". Why? because the media is sick of hearing your babble about the next apololypse your gunna try and bring. Is that a choice the media made or is that just fate telling you that your cause isn't making a difference and people AREN'T getting your message.

Seriously, those fucking junkies have the ability to plunge a needle into the right artery (most of the time), but they can't comprehend the need to clean up their waste?

Jesus Christ, a cat digs a hole, takes a crap and covers it up neatly. These degenerates manage to leave their bodily fluids smeared all over the walls cause they don't know what else to do.

"It has to be the city, the police, the Vancouver Island Health Authority and the school district, because all of us have to work together to find a resolution. We do need to link up with the other agencies to deal with the bigger issues"

Enough of that, debating and collaborating with no resolute outcome. Give each addict two garbage bags a week to deposit their refuse at a pre-arranged place. Wherever they camp out must be spotless the next day. If they fail to do so and leave a mess behind again, throw them in a shipping container with a few others and have them quit cold turkey until they've grown up.
