1. Why little boys and not girls is because there are no Alter Girls.  My question is why does it aparently seem to be happening to Catholic Churches here in the US and not in heavly Catholic countries like Italy, Spain, France, Mexico, etc?

2. Why not little girls...there is still CYA.  You know what they say about...catholic girrrrls (Frank Zappa!)

   Why not in heavily catholic countries---probably because the church here is infested with homosexual priests?????????  Not tolerated elsewheres.

3. From one extreme to another. It’s ok to promote and further vagrancy, where the vagrants publicly urinate, deficate, use drugs and alcohol and sleep in the streets. Yet we cannot feed the wild animals because they become dependent upon us. Dry up the freebies and the problem will leave, prosecute the offenders and they will leave. feed and provide for them and they will stay forever. Everyday I see the same panhandlers on the same street corner with their “homeless” signs they’ve been there for 9 years now. It’d their chosen lifestyle.

4. Best is when they have a kid with them. I enjoy calling child services on them at that point.

   I saw a guy pan-handling in front of a business that had a help wanted sign out front. My compassion bottomed out at that point. Since then, it has kept digging.

5. A Kansas City TV stationed intervied a couple of these homeless men who panhandle on street corners.  They had their faces blurred out and wouldn’t give the location where they panhandle for ovious reasons.  It seems these guys made up over $40,000 a year begging for money.  Out of a year, the average they begged was about 7 to 8 months.  While begging they lived in missions or flop houses with FREE food and in most cases free medical services.  On the months they wern’t begging, they traveled the US and visited friends, going First Class all the way.  I don’t give money away more except to my church and the Leukemia Society.
