Title: Sad news from California
Post by: ycartrob on Nov 04, 2008, 09:19 AM
Suprised (and not) that this is not getting more press. Who cares though, they're just homeless people, right?

Five killed at homeless camp

just so I'm clear, this is sarcasm:

Having worked with the homeless the past couple of years has made me jaded and I sometimes encounter this sorts of attitdues.

Isn't homeless a derogatory term?  Aren't they called "urban outdoorsman" now?

You might call them that in the crowd you run in, but that's not what this thread is about. Perhaps you can make your own thread to make fun and light of people who don't have homes? Again, this isn't that thread.

Thanks  :)

Wow...joking around.  You should be in a good mood Mr. Obama.  I do however think that, one day, they will tell us the "appropriate" name for the homeless.
