Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

That's the point. So they cannot sell the food for drug/alcohol money
Unlike you, I feel no need to control homeless people. All I want to give them is the choice to do better. I'm not interested in forcing anyone into anything. Just making it easier to do what they want. I find that nearly everyone in the world wants to do good, to be good. They just don't get enough help.
Fair enough. I just don't want to contribute to their self destruction.
They're going to self-destruct as long as they live, unless they're given the help needed to defeat their addiction. We can't expect the problem to get better by denying them kindness. The biggest chance they'll shake the addiction is if they get their life back together using the money they beg.
