Do you give homeless people money if you have ?

Question

some to spare or are you against it? Why or why not?

Answer 1

In my opinion, if homeless person is a child (in Easter Europe you will find this usually) I would obviously give up some money. If it an adult men, I wouldn't give any money because with the money that I will give to him, he would go to corner beer store or LCBO and buy some drink. I know it because at downtown of my town it's happening all the time, the men may say "I need some money to go to grocery store, buy some food or here I have a toonie I need only a loonie more", but in truth he will go buy some drink with counts that I gave him.

The homeless people are just wasting their life to garbage, instead of turning their lives to different positive way (not drinking alcohol not using drugs) they keep on living miserable life, but most interesting they sometimes don't want help with their alchol drub abuse problem.

Answer 2

I usually just break 'em off a cold one from my six-pack.

Everyone's happier that way.

Answer 3

myself, i would give it if i had it. Who are we to judge what they are actually using it for. If you are a believe in God like I am, Then you shouldn't think twice. He is there in everything you do. But dont just give money because you think you will be judged poorly if you dont, but do it because you want to help someone in need. I know first hand that people are not always using the money for right reasons but it is better to have faith in that person and give then to not and let them do without if they truly are struggling  

Answer 4

I do not give out cash but I do try to purchase meals or needed items to give to them.  I think its important to help those less fortunate.

However, some people are against helping them.  Recently while I was at an Arbys a homeless man and woman came in to the store.  They were hungry.  I couldnt believe how the manager treated them.  I actually wrote about it.  If your interested heres my article on this hungry couple.

Answer 5

I don't give them money because chances are they're going to use it to buy alcohol/drugs with it and to me, that's not helping them.  I WILL give a homeless person food, blankets, clothing, shoes, etc however.  Things that I know will more than likely help the person out longer than their next fix would.    

Answer 6

I never give them anything.  They're just going to buy some cheap wine (Mad Dog or Wild Irish Rose) and get drunk.  To h**l with them.

Answer 7

yes if theres some change in my pocket.
