Choose to be Homeless?

[ QUOTE ]
Everyone who is homeless (here in the uk certainly) are homeless for one of two reasons:

1, Mental illness

2, Choice

There are so many charities and other groups who will help, i dont accept that anyone is forced into homelessness.

Would you consider alcoholism and drug addiction to be mental illnesses or choices? I think a fairly large number of homeless people are on the street because their addiction(s) prevent them from being functioning members of society.

When you're homeless you can get away with things like sticking your dong in a bag of cherries and trying to get people to eat them. Most normal, home-living pervs would have the cops called on them for that.

I would argue that anyone who chooses homelessness IS mentally retarded, so option 2 is really a subset of option 1.
