who mentioned homeless?...who's generalizing now??? hateful - I think not

I just usually buy them a meal never give cash

great idea when it's convenient to do so...I do that sometimes too

I collect and give porn to those who can't afford to buy porn for themselves.

Beggars....nope...not one thin dime...EVER! (I rolled up on a pair of beggars working a stop sign in Denver and they didn't see me until I saw them counting thier "earnings" They had a fist full and alot of it was $20's. The guy jammed it in his pocket and immedieately started with "Can you spare anything? A $20 would work"...I drove home to eat another meal of mashed potatoes and bread...times were tough back then....and I had just got off work)

I never forgot that and I never will.

If they ask....they get s**t naught from me.

However....I do know the dejected look of poverty and have more than once walked past someone with that look...I hit the store and come out with a sandwich, chips, 6 pack of tall boys a pack of smokes with a book of matches and a $10 or $20 in a bag. I hand it over and tell them..."one day when things get better...do this for someone" at least then I can detect quiet gratitude as opposed to the mouthy @ssed pieces of s**t who crap talk me when I just ignore them.

I work daily with the residentially displaced as one calls it, and beleive me, only about 10% are grubbing money for substance. And you'd be surprised t how many are homeless, they dress just like you and me because they are.

dam I'm gonna try that will you start me off with the first 20? I willstand by a stop sign promise....

You bet Sea! (If you wear those daisy dukes and cowboy boots you will make a fortune!)

When I help somebody out, be it financially or otherwise, there are no expectations on my part.

This is a beautiful statement.

That is what I do. Stop and ask them what type of sandwich they like... go get them a sub and a couple bottles of water and throw in a $10 bill.

I give as much as I can when ever I can. I don't care what they spend it on. After it leaves my hands it's not mine anymore. Plus it's just paper. I hate that the entire world bows down and kneels before paper. Hell with that I'd rather burn it, than use it to by junk I don't need....yuck

I usually only hand out dollar bills, or whatever change I happen to have in my pocket, but there have been a few ocassions, where I have given 5 bucks. I don't care what they do with it. Once ya give it to em, it's their's, so it doesn't matter.

Thats a great idea!!!! I have given up to 20 bucks. And dont care what is done with it after it leaves my hands.

SO i was at a wendys once, and seen was approached by a homeless guy asking for change for food, sceptical it was for food, i denyed him, but while inside, i thought, well if food he wants, food he gets, so i bought him a large sprite, and 8 jr bacon cheeseburgers, he was happy when he got em, and didnt ask no one else for money, or at least while i was inside eating, idk why i told yall my lil story there, but hopefully it helped

I lost my job in January afer 10 years at the newspaper. All I get is Unemplloyment now and barley scrape by, but there are those much worse off than me and I will give usually what I can afford when I can afford it, its the RIGHT thing to do!!!
