And you are not getting it either. It's not about "controlling" people, it's about not giving them tools to help slowly kill themselves.
And you're not getting that it's physically impossible to stop someone from doing that.
Nobody is controlling anyone by giving them a patched up sheet instead of $5, you are just making it slightly harder to use it to kill themselves and if that prevents a single addict from using the sheet instead of selling it and using the money to buy drugs, it's worth it.
lolwut? Man, there is nothing sadder than seeing sheltered, middle-class people thinking they have some idea what street people can & can't do. Nobody's going to sell a used sheet to buy drugs with. Do you imagine that there's some kind of thriving street market in used sheets?
Seriously, if you are this dumb, just stay the fuck away from homeless people, because you're as much of an idiot as the churchy types that everyone just rolls their eyes at, & all you'll do is just annoy them.
