How telling that you lambast one of the very few agencies actually doing something about the problem (for something completely out of their control nonetheless), instead of thank them for the aid they gave you.

Nah, that wasn't lambasting. This is much closer to lambasting a homeless services organization for their shitty, shitty policies:

Much peace and love <3, because there's not enough humanity between people these days it seems.

How a society treats its most vulnerable, "undesirable" and powerless individuals (prisoners, homeless and other minority groups) reflects the true nature of its constituents.

It's truly a shame most modern people have no idea what it's like to be homeless and/or didn't learn the golden rule or empathy in their upbringing.

I appreciate that you are trying to defend people who are doing their best, but I think overall that was an unfair and uncharitable comment.

In my experience, homeless people act cringeing and fearful, and often call people Sir or Ma'am.

It's pretty horrible to see someone's spirit broken that way.

They aren't the people who need to learn gratitude.

Thank them for treating you like dirt? Get off your high horse of self-righteousness. Until you've been homeless, maybe you shouldn't comment.
