    But just carefully, don’t give them a home! Make them work for it! What if you just give them a home and they sell it to buy drug? Or what if they just use drugs in the home.

    Man if I was young again, I would buy a home to have lots of sex in it. I mean that’s what we did with our first home. Why wouldn’t a homeless person just use it for drugs…right?

        One time I saw a guy who was clearly doing totally fine at a job. I swear, he even smelled good. Imagine if ever kid in town had a job! What would we do? It’s illegal for kids to work, you know! What message are we sending our kids if guys are just given houses and allowed to work at a job!
