Do you ever give the homeless change?

[Ghost]

I do not. They need no encouragement.

I do not. They need no encouragement.

They need encouragement and support but not free handouts (this includes welfare)

[FattaT]

Don't you love it when the target they school kids... O.o

Anyone seen the South Park episode with all the homeless bums? So funny!

[Toxic]

I rarely do.

99% of the time I reckon they're useless...Every once in a while, though, I'll see one that I think is really, honesty, just down on their luck and I'll chuck 'em what I can.

I learned my lesson when I pulled up to a guy that was holding one of those "homeless, hungry" signs and handed him a combo meal. He got all indignant, threw it in the middle of the street and carried on about how I should have just given him the money.

okay, crackhead.

[LiNuX]

i rarely do it, but of course, i dont have any of my own money to even give out now lol - i'd rather give my money to non-profit organizations

[FattaT]

lol Toxic, thats kind of like what my friends dad did. Some guys said "Hey mate, got some spare change for milk?"
and so my friends dad took him to the supermarket and bought him some milk, and the homeless guy was full unhappy.

Anyone seen the South Park episode with all the homeless bums? So funny!

love it when the guy says that the homeless have destroyed his house and he's all like.

"oh my god...i'm homeless!...if you guys could...just help out.. just lend anything! a dollar! a quarter! any spare change! do you have any spare change!?"

* stan's dad shoots him*


anyways, most of the time i wanna but when i do see em', i'm in some sort of car, so i can't.

[H0M3GROWN]

Whenever I drive by a homeless guy I try to hit him with my spare pennies. One point for a body shot and two if you get him right on the head.

I'm such a nice guy. If only everyone did this, homeless people would be rich.

[Mr Cool]

Sometimes.
If the guy is doing some sort of performance, I.E. a jig, I'll give him a dollar.

But those dudes just sitting there with jars or a sign? Hell no.

[Cov3rt]

If they've got a real funny sign, i might throw them some change.

[prateek/pwnage]

I'd do it if im having one of em good days. Which comes by rarely. So good luck Homeless people:P

[MilkshakeNinja]

Yeah, I might hand some change to a performing person.

But, those people who go around saying they need to make a down payment on a cheeseburger can gtfo lol.

[IceCold]

Most of the homeless I see are trying to fund a habit through begging, which is exactly why I won\'t give them anything.

Food? Yes.

No one should ever have to go hungry, but I\'m not taking my hard earned cash and helping a junkie blow one of his last remaining brain fuses.

[comfortablynumb.]

haha i was the only one that said all the time
i see alot of homeless people where i live and when ever i see some homeless person asking for something i give them a little something, if i have food i give them that first and their usually more ten happy to have it.
i know some of them just want to go buy another bottle of booze but ive had family in the sam position and some of them honestly use that money for food.
even if they just take it and buy a mickey or a dimebag. at least i was able to make one poor homeless person happy for a few hours.
and its only a few dollars outta my pocket that i probably would have waisted any ways

[DeadCell]

I dont give homeless people money. Ive had too many bad experiences with them.. many have serious mental problems, the vast majority will spend your money on something other than food (since free food can easilly be found by them), and since they have very little to lose you never know what they will do.

I do occasionally go to the bank and buy some foreign coins to throw out my window onto the street in front of homeless people but that\'s more of an entertainment thing than a charity thing.
