Twitter Users Attack the Homeless ... Again.

From Change.org.

Ok...it is obvious that some sensitivity training is in order here. The old saying is true. It takes one to know one. Or at least a little education might help before spouting of old partisan ideas around at the expense of being completely inhumane.

We're Twitter addicts. The micro-blogging site allows us to catch up on the world in mere seconds.

But it's not perfect. Plenty of people use the site to spew hatred. The latest case in point — the trending topic #myhomelesssignwouldsay.

Users post their thoughts on what they would write on their cardboard "homeless sign" if they happened to find themselves on the sidewalk without a home. The tweets range from slightly off-color to incredibly offensive. Occasionally, there is a heartfelt, sensitive tweet urging people to stop making light of this real and devastating issue, but it quickly gets buried.

Here's a sampling of what's being said: "#myhomelesssignwouldsay see that REALLLLY TALLLLL building there? if i dont get any money in the next five minutes im jumping from it," "#myhomelesssignwouldsay If I wanted to work I would have a job, Just give me some damn money Honey" and "#myhomelesssignwouldsay I need to get f*cked up, please help me and contribute."

The website is urging Twitter to end this trend. I agree. All politicing aside...this is disgusting.
