Does helping the homeless population really benefit the country though? Why should they get free handouts? I worked hard to pay rent, they should too.

What I'm trying to say is yes, we should keep bombing the Middle East.

    I’m not 100 sure, but I think you should put “/s” at the end of your statement

    Welcome to the Internet. Signal the joke clearly so that you are not confused with stupid extremists. Joke's still there, and it's clear and unambiguous.

    Poe's law is an adage of internet culture which says that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, any parodic or sarcastic expression of extreme views can be mistaken by some readers for a sincere expression of those views.[1][2][3] The law is frequently exploited by individuals who share genuine extremist views and, when faced with overwhelming criticism, deflect by insisting they were merely being satirical.

    What kind of sadistic fucking moron do you have to be to prefer that the government spend more money persecuting and incarcerating the homeless than it would on treating and housing them?
