You are wrong. I’m done talking with someone who jumped into someone else’s argument and doesn’t know what they are even agreeing with.

They aren’t making the claim that they are being tortured. That would be absurd. It is also absurd to just sit in front of a speaker that is playing music and say you are being tortured instead of moving.

You should reread what you are arguing.

So you agree.

So what should businesses on skid row do? Just close?

You get the good and the bad is the previous posters argument. Not mine.

It’s ok

It is ok. Hearing annoying music that you can move away from is far from psychological torture. Would you consider being surrounded by drug use and by trash as psychological torture?

paying customers

They aren’t getting these because of the homeless. The whole area is becoming completely void of businesses and the buildings are completely falling apart. Your argument goes the same for the homeless. If they want the benefits of society they get the good and the bad with it as well.

7-11 does it in LA. LA metro does it. Lots of businesses and public agencies are doing it. It’s definitely something they should be doing for their business and public.

Not even close to a bad faith argument. How can they help homeless people when their business is failing and they are worried about their own financial situation?

Costs the same? The price of a speaker and mp3 player on loop is a lot cheaper than rehabilitation and educating homeless people. What should the business be doing was the question. Not what should the government and society as a whole be doing.

What should they be doing? They shouldn’t try to keep their businesses going?
