It sounds to me like you do have a big problem with it -- enough to start this thread complaining about it, at any rate. If you dislike homeless people so much, it seems to me the best thing you could do would be to get involved in an organization working to solve the problem - volunteer, help these people, do something constructive, instead of just getting pissed off at victims.

As for those with mental diseases which take away their abilities to make free choices for themselves - it is extremely sad, both for them, and for their families and friends. Whether you choose to have sympathy for that or not is up to you, but it wouldn't kill you to try.
