Question

Would it be wise to give someone the shirt off your back?

Answer 1

ok You walkin in the street and you give somebody a shirt. now u standin ther lookin stupid wit no shirt on......NO IT AIN'T WISE

Answer 2

1. Are you a girl or guy?  Most often, girls should leave their shirts on.    (If we are taking this literally at least)

2.  Do they actually need it?

3.  Do you have the ability\resources to do this?

If you work with this, maybe you just should.

Answer 3

if u didnt need it n they did then yea

it would also be kind

Answer 4

Whether its wise or not can be anyone's opinion, but the fact your doing it is what matters.

Answer 5

yes, it would be like recycling... but i'd make sure i wasn't naked underneath first.

Answer 6

You must be in the moment, and then you can decide for yourself.

Answer 7

Depends on if the person needed the shirt worse than you did, and could you live without the shirt?

Answer 8

I gave a guy (a stranger) the shirt off my back once by tying a tourniquet around his leg. He got stabbed in the parking lot of a convenient store and hobbled inside. The paramedics said if i hadn't done it he would have bled to death.

4 years later he (the stranger) saved my sister's life with CPR.

Answer 9

Ok, it is, Nope, it has always been a figure of speech. It means a person who is so helpful to his fellow man to the point that he will bend over backwards to help, and literally, even give "the shirt off his back".

One word. Sucker !

Helping other people does not mean they will truly appreciate your stinky perspiration soaked shirt, unless they are bleeding and you used it to make a tourniquet, or made it into bandage for a wound out in the forest.

Please keep your shirt. But be generous with loose change, time to volunteer, a random act of kindness,  a smile.....
