Could you point out where I suggested “You” do anything?Not at all, but you sure are quick to suggest what I should do, so I just thought maybe I could follow your lead.

In this area the assisted living facilities have become the option of last resort for many displaced seniors who are looking for help.We need to reopen the asylums . I know that sounds cruel , and often they are cruel places but. The street folks are quite often in need of mental care and they would [should] get it there. Not to mention that at least it is a warm/cool place to sleep/live, with some decent food as well.

What I suggest is people stop making assumption And stop shaming people for their personal choices. Why is it ok to try to shame a person for spoiling themselves or their pet or kids or grandkids or insects in their garden. It’s their own personal choice (and business)OK, but before I do as you suggest ...... tell me what you have done ?

I am not shaming anyone for the manner in which they 'spoil' themselves . Actually that is exactly my point . If a person chooses to do so, as oppose to 'giving' then that is what they should do . It is their money, enjoy it as they will .... of course meet one's responsibilities , then hell yeah, have at it. As for pets, I am a pet spoiler, did so when my little pet was still alive.What I suggest is people stop making assumption And stop shaming people for their personal choices.

Of course not. It's just an obvious example of a large waste of resources, diverted only for frivolity and vanity. I won't cite all of the studies that show how emotionally and psychologically negative pet ownership is, leading to much anxiety and depression.Somehow i do not think pets are what tip the scale.
I'm not sure what you are getting at. It's called "being a responsible adult." Landlords do not run charities and they have real costs.In phoenix…regardless of the actual rent price you must have 1st, last month and a deposit to rent an apartment. You must have a good credit rating. You must sign a years lease. It is virtually impossible to get out of the monies owed upon an apartment lease.
No, do not pay and you ruin your credit. What is hard to understand about this?Do not pay and they ruin your credit.
it's the opposite here, which is why most of our needy and homeless are in the cities, because that's where the majority of the resources areA lot of time I think its "location". So many of the needy are in the major city center type areas. So many of those that would offer and have offered and helped in the past live in country or small town environments.
About 10 years ago, we offered our garage apt. free to a single mom who had two children - one 4 and one 16. They drove across the country from Calif. to Texas, hauling a trailer on the back of an older Toyota Corolla and stayed with us for some months, until she bought land and rehab'd a house. We are good friends to this day.
Isn't it the truth. Big cars, expensive unnecessary items, Electronics, fancy vacations, out to dinner all the time, alcohol, cigarettes. Whatever it is people spend money on.It is possible to be a pet owner and also donate money and/or time to charities.
Just like it is possible to spend one's money on whatever you spend it on and do so or not do so.
The jibe toward pet owners was totally ludicrous.
hear hear !!... we say exactly the same thing here in the UK... pensioners are treated with utter disdain...I think it's disgusting that our govts (Can, US, UK) and more treat retirees with such pure hatred. There can be no other explanation. How can you (in the case of Canada) allow those that built the dam country suffer? Seniors living in poverty is gross negligence. If it was parents that treated their kids that way, they would be arrested or have the child/ren removed. You would be an abuser. But with seniors or retirees it's ok?
Worth every penny and much more. I made a decent living in the pet industry (which allowed me to spoil my pets) and ended with a decent pension (Which allows me to continue to spoil my pets) I can think of many other bigger wastes of money that cause so much harm such as drugs, alcohol, gambling, Weapons etc.etc. But hay you just continue to do you. Anyway I’m bored of discussing this pet issue you seem to have and wont be commenting anymore.
of course you would have to balance that with all the studies citing how positive pet ownership is for peopleI won't cite all of the studies that show how emotionally and psychologically negative pet ownership is, leading to much anxiety and depression.
I have spent my entire adult life helping others either through donating money, babysitting, errands, rides, cleaning up their houses, etc. My dad was a great role model. I also spent my career in a helping profession. So I’m at peace with myself.And how am I the bad guy here?
If you have the money to piss away on torturing slave animals for your amusement you might consider redirecting it to help suffering people instead.
What's cowardly is turning a blind eye to your sins.
