Yea its on You Tube. But it is from ABC.  I thought it would be worth a look see. How do you feel about this? Will work for food and giving excuses. And there were how many JOBS avaliable? Astonishing

HAvent even watched it yet but want to point out that this was posted in 2006 before the current economic crisis. So without even watching it i wonder how its relevant.

Also reporting will always only give one side of the coin. If they want to make a point (in this case about freeloaders) then they will edit out anything which doesn't show this. Its hardly unbiased and will show people in the worst light possible.

OK about half way through and am wondering this has to do with PA? These people are homeless so its not like they are working the system? I am really not seeing the relevance to this debate forum.

OK watched the whole thing. In terms of PA (even though the video has nothing to do with it) People are encouraged to work, and/or go to school in order to get PA. However if someone isn't in the system then what can you do?

 These ppl are  homeless  ppl living on the streets.   IMO alcoholism  IS A dis/ease.  If you are a alcoholic or a addict you need treatment  to stop the insanity.
