So where is that 5% on your bell curve in Rio De Janeiro? Or most of Europe? Or most parts of Asia?
Why is the 5% of people in the world who according to you are uncivilized concentrated in the U.S.?
Because homelessness of the sort that you see in the US simply doesn’t exist in most countries in the world. Both countries that are as rich or significantly poorer than the US.
This is not caused by some unprecedented economic crash or poverty crises. As I've said in the OP, "this is an epidemic of uninformed tolerance and apathy ravaging an entire nation."
These are either addicts, mentally ill or uncivilised people. Every society from the most liberal ones to the most tyrannical ones have set up laws and institutions to deal with them.
You forcefully institutionalise the mentally ill. You provide an option of voluntary treatment to addict or forced. You forcefully remove the uncivilised people.
I personally have stronger beliefs when it comes to what to do with these peoples but that will get me banned (its a little biblical).
What I'm talking about here is the humane/liberal option. The alternative is to let them rot and devolve further whilst ravaging our cities, nobody wins.
