    A wall of links with no context does not make a convincing argument. It just looks like you randomly cherry picked stuff.

    I wish people would get back to conversations backed up occasionally with data rather than source wars. Social problems aren’t an exact science.

      Well, I asserted my opinion, asked for a counterexample, wasn’t provided with any, was challenged to provide sources for my argument, did. In context I think its a reasonable response.

      I am have yet to be linked to a single, non-hearsay argument.

        You don’t link arguments, you make them. Jesus have people forgotten how to talk.

        If you think giving a schizophrenic drug addict thousands of pounds and a house will solve their problems, you’re beyond reason.

          ok here’s my argument: most homeless people aren’t like you describe, these kinds of programs benefit the vast majority and the tolerance of failure lies within expected bounds to believe the program is an overwhelming success (as evinced by the links above).

          Although I fail to see how that couldn’t have just been taken as read by any sensible reader.

            That’s fair enough and I never denied that. But some people think solving homelessness and hunger is just a matter of printing 1 trillion pounds and could be done by any politician. You know the sort.

          You don’t know how peer reviewed science works, and aren’t worth talking to.

          The fact that you think that providing housing doesn’t work, when we have multiple countries worldwide that prove it does, just goes to show that you are a selfish bigot that doesn’t want to solve the problem.
