Honestly, several hours later, me neither.
But another thought comes to mind, and maybe was my point. If this bum should be allowed to hang out in the train station, then the facility must accomodate him like a customer. Cleaning up after his mess, letting him use the bathroom, etc. Let him stay - but might any sort of preferential treatment for paying passengers be a case of discrimination?

What? Are you trying to draw a parallel here? If the porn shop is the homeless guy, then by analogy you can't sue to kick the porn shop off the street. So that's one less lawsuit.

No parallel being drawn - just making a hypothetically ridiculous scenario. Just because I don't like something doesn't mean I should be able or want to sue over it, though that is currently the case.
