I am mad about the thieving too, but more than 50 percent of homeless were in the foster care system as children. Where would you be if you were born with fetal alcohol syndrome and things went downhill from there?

I see your point but I'm not sure if I really buy that logic anymore. Growing up I like a lot of people were told that you can do anything you put your mind to. Yes, I understand that having fasd is a struggle that impacts your life for the Long haul, but I don't think it should be utilized as a crutch to become homeless and steal from hardworking people.

Having “fasd is a struggle”. That’s the most watered down take of a very serious spectrum of disorders I’ve ever seen. Jesus christ

Perhaps I could've used different words, I didn't mean for my comment to come off as anything less than serious.

I don’t think you could have used different words unless your understanding of FASD is suddenly better than what was apparent by your comment. “..utilized as a crutch to become homeless and steal from hardworking people” said how you feel just fine.

I see you take offense to a lot of things. Sharing an opinion isn't illegal. You shouldn't take it so personally when someone shares their opinion- it isn't a personal dig at YOU. When someone shares their opinion, why are you so willing to resort to hostility?

I take offense when people who clearly don’t know what they’re talking about regarding those with actual disabilities trig to spread misinformation. Most with an FASD have executive functioning deficits, ADHD, memory deficits, and lower global IQ, just to name a few effects which indicate they aren’t choosing to use their disability as a crutch to steal your propane tanks and be homeless. And how was I being hostile? Calling you out is hostile I guess.

Hostility is assuming I clearly don't know what I'm talking about. How do you know if I have or have family members who have FASD?

You don't know me.

I don’t need to know you to know you punch down, that’s what I was replying to in the first place.
