No I didn't. But I know you'll keep clutching to that ONE WORD so you can ignore EVERYTHING ELSE I posted.

I proposed a series of actions aimed at reducing homelessness and addiction, starting with the most disruptive homeless. BTW The reason why I start there is because there are a lot of homeless people who're just that: Homeless. Homeless because of lost work, insane rent, illness/bankruptcy etc but quite often otherwise functional. It's the crazy ones who make living on the street a hellhole and cause problems for everyone else.

BTW, my husband was at one time homeless because of a falling-out with his old man who was an abusive a-hole. But this was in the exurbs, so he lived in an abandoned barn while he worked as a mechanic, so he could save up for rent.

You bring up a good point....How often do I talk about my hubbs, and how often does she talk about hers?? Her daughter might exist, but I fully doubt she has EVER had another adult live with that insanity.

Is this a Colombo type spouse, or what???

I post about hubby because we share a full and interesting life, unlike you, WISHY, who only seems to post about her sex life.

"So there you have it, my solution for drug use (starting first with those who're the most threatening of the homeless)"

Actually, A BUNCH OF WORDS, your words.

And I followed with, "like no one else has ever thought of those things?" Trying to point out that just because you think of something doesn't mean no else has. Had you thought of what Seattle did do to reduce the problem? I bet not.

How convenient lol. That doesn't sound made up at all.... Seriously, what's your pen name? I bet you've written some decent novels.

And talk about stupid or lying - you have to try to be this stupid:

You say completely made up stuff like that and then say you want to have "intelligent discussion?"

Yes, this is a DISCUSSION BOARD, or have you not noticed?

Your beef with me isn't what I posted, it's that I took ownership of my ideas??

If that's not the problem then what is?

Seattle's original approach to the problem, like most cities, was to throw the homeless addicted and/or crazy in jail for brief periods where they would get "three hots and a cot" and then dump them on the street again. The other "solution" is when the truly ill homeless, addicted and/or crazy show up in the ER, where - once again- they were treated and tossed back onto the street. There was a city in Texas, I forget which one, where they studied where the ER money was spent. It turns out that half of the money was spent on FIVE people, all homeless.

Los Angeles is very similar. It is finally building a separate facility for the crazy prisoners, instead of mixing them in with the general population, but I don't know if they'll have medical treatment or institutions to release these people to long-term.

Not at all convenient.

YOUR POSTS were in relation to the trade war, where you showed no concern or thought for the working person, just the consumer; the posts about work being a thing of the past were in relation to automation; and the posts about social media were everywhere, where you frequently called me "granny" and told me to take my Aricept.

Even in the "Extinction" thread, where you could have made credible and relevant "consumer is the problem" statements, YOU DIDN'T. You posted that the environmental movement should appeal to the greed of rich people, you spent a huge number of posts arguing with KIKI about Obama and Trump, you called me a "Russian troll" ... AGAIN ... (like that never gets old!) and argued endlessly with SIX about "who bails from threads" ... Nowhere do you suggest that people need to reduce consumption.

If you have made any comments at all about "the consumer is the problem" they're so few and far

When you don't have one, I'm sure that is all you'd remember, but I post about him all the time, yanno.... like he was a coal miner, bit of a gun nut, likes Oreos, used to have hair like Toby Keith, works for a foreign company in robotics, gets pulled over all the time??? Any of that ring a bell?

I couldn't tell you one single thing about your husband. Doubt anyone but Kiki could.

This only becomes a problem at FFF.net if somebody doxxes somebody else.

So this shouldn't be a problem for anybody here...

Right?

Right EVERYBODY?

Do Right, Be Right. :)
