Julius Caesar, Roman and romanticizer.

Ok so you are seriously trying to tell me you would take a homeless mans word on everything relating to homelessness over anyone else.

Not only that you're saying you unconditionally believe, regardless of what the topic is if it's related to homelessness, that a homeless person is more qualified to speak on it.

If it is about feeding a nation? No pass, its more important to listen to people who have never fed or helped anyone on how to feed a nation.

How about health and medical interests? No, why would a DOCTOR know more than a homeless person, the homeless person knows what they have to deal with.

Why would a doctor know any better than any of us about vaccines, its OUR bodies, WE live in them, they are just critics!

lol ok, I guess you're right!

Why do you all know your IQ's? I never once have been given the option to know mine.. And does it ask financial questions in an IQ test?

I only know mine because I was tested in GATE (California) and again in OTAG (Oregon) back in 4th to 6th grade. (147)

When I applied for Mensa 8 or so years ago, for free access to JSTOR, I scored 139 online and was requested to come in for in-person testing if I wanted to dispute their Mensa membership requirement of 140, but was given JSTOR access for being confirmed above 135 with the online test having a window of error of +/-3 as it's standard deviation.

So I'm just getting dumber as I get older I guess, or maybe intellectually lazier (likely borne of the 7 veils of ignorance)

I've been a homeless man. It has its challenges, which can be sorted out but it also has its pitfalls which work against aims of recovering therefrom. For one thing, you are incredibly vulnerable to injustices enacted by the state, and fellow homeless alike.

You heard it hear folks, literally nobody here can have an opinion on homelessness, we must all take Gwaihir's word for any and all potential problems and solutions related to it.

Questionable dig, but "ok", carry on.

Is that what you think? That Hyperbole is insurrection? That speech is an insurrection?

Chanting "Hang Mike Pence" while violently storming the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power isn't speech.

No that literally is protected speech, you're just conveniently conflating it with "violently blah blah". Nobody disagrees that actual violence is bad, but jan 6th is a blip on the radar compared to what the left has perpetrated over the last 24 months. It's not even close.
