Would u rather be a bum on the street or go 2 jail?
You are kidding right? I would hope that no one answers jail, because they will be saying their freedom is worth less to them than a full belly. If that is all it would take to buy someone's freedom, in a desperate situation, I fear for this countries future. I would much rather be a bum. This does not say that you have to go hungry, without clothing, or even a nice warm shelter. Nature provides every essential ingredient for a comfortable happy human existence. I have enough survival knowledge, where I could survive if it came down to it and would choose this option every time. Given enough time I would adjust and start to learn the little things that would make it comfortable. I could never give up my freedom. It is essential to how I view what life is supposed to be. I would rather be dead, than have my freedom taken away.

On the street, you have a chance to do better for yourself. In jail you just have to sit out your time and do nothing.Sounds more like the one in the jail might be the bum. The man on the street is homeless, doesn't mean he is a bum.

You not only get food in jail, you get a shelter from the rain and snow, you get medical treatment, you have a place to receive mail, you can make a little money, you can study and learn new skills, you have protection, you have clean, dry clothes...
Remembering the fact that only prisons hold you on a long-term basis and in jail there's a release date, between the street and jail, I choose jail

This is a great question! I've always said that if I ever found myself homeless and living in a state where it's cold in the winter, I would just keep on committing crimes just to have a warm bunk and 3 hot meals. Unfortunately, there's also all the sex you can handle!

Jail! It's not that bad, I know people who've been in and on the streets, they'd all chose jail.

provided I did it in solitary confinement with cable tv and stuff to read id take jail. the system is always soft on felons but still treats the homeless like crap. twisted values.

SOME OF OUR BEST TRUSTEES WERE OFF THE STREETS DOWN AND OUTS.
1980- WE COULD NOT ARREST BUMS TRANSIENTS ANYMORE SO SAID THE CITY FATHERS. 27 FROZE TO DEATH UNDER BRIDGES. WE TOOK THEM IN NEXT YEAR.
JAIL RATHER IN THEN OUT IN THE COLD.
