In your humble opinion, are the majority of the homeless people responsible for the situation they are in? IOW: do they deserve to be homeless, because it is their personal failure or do they not, because they are a victim of the circumstances (the reasons they are where they are are largely out of their control)? Have you ever talked to homeless people? Are they really just "bad people" and "will never change" or are they hardworking individuals who've just had a punch by life that they were unable to stand after?

Why? So this can become the cesspool that Reddit became? I'm totally fine with judging each user by their actions and kicking them to the curb if they wander in and shit in our house.

    Because discriminating against a group of people based only on one factor is a terrible idea.

    Let's stick to judging users individually based on their actions rather than lumping everyone who came from reddit into the same category.

    It feels like you're arguing with me, but then you pretty much said exactly what I said, so I guess we agree?

    Yes. I think we were talking around each other a bit. I was interested in attacking the statement, "We don't need redditors here." It sounded like you were defending that statement with your "Why?" question. The second half of your statement was definitely in line with the main point I'm trying to get across.
