do you give money to beggar's

if i can ill take that fish back and smack um in the face with it and put his ass to work!

I once saw a big fat black homless man standing in front of a mcdonalds. He had a sign that said, "Make my hamburger dreams come true." And he had drawn a detailed picture of a hamburger on the sign. I gave that man some change.

i live in cleveland
has one of the highest poverty rates/homeless rates in our country
yes, if i see a homeless person, i give them money.
i gave a homeless guy a dimebag before.
i just put myself in their situation
if i had to go through that
it would suck
and also it makes you feel good.
like
makes my day when i make someone elses day.

Wow, maybe he should be an artist? :p

if they look like they smoke alot of crack i tell them to fuck themselfs

if they ask me I will. But one time I gave this homeless guy some money when i was at taco bell and he kept harrassing me some employees chased him out of the store and said they'd call the cops if he came back. he freaked me the fuck out. I still give money to homeless people but now I'm very careful about it.

Do you think he was stoned or drunk, or just insane?

I know he wasn't drunk. and he had been there all day so probaby not stoned so I'm guessing insane. or a crackhead craving for some crack.

most bums i take em to perkins....i dont want my change spent on booze, so i spend $7 or so and get em a dinner

I rode a 24 speed MT Bike across country last summer...on a whim. Left Boston On June 12Th Got home (ElDorado Ks) 9 1/2 weeks later,(Labor Day) All I had was My Bike an Trailer,Tent,Stove,Sleepin Bag,Clothes,Bike tools,Ect.
I left Boston With 120 Bucks. If it Wer'nt for the kindness of the folks I met I would have Starved,Stunk,My Bike would have not gotten the repairs it needed Ect.Homelessness isn't caused by any one thing, some folk have mental/emotional Problems,Some are Drug/Acohol related,AND Some of us do it Intenaully (sp) Any Tour/Deadhead can relate...There are just some experences that No amount of money can buy!!
Just in case yer wondering...I have a apt,Car(Shitheep) an work in a Balloon Factory...So not all homeless folk have Problems that put us there...some are just Round pegs in a Square System:D
