do you give money to beggar's

[friendowl]

like when you come out of the store
or are putting gas and some stinky
dirty human being asks for change
do you help em out
or
are you fucked up and talk shit
i myself like to talk with homeless people
i find there stories very interesting and real
some crackhead asked me for change right now
i told him what do you want the money for
he say life fucking sucks for me i want to get high
i respected that and gave him a buck and a joint
he was very respectful and said thank you in a way
that makes me feel bad for some people
life can get very very ugly
death is even a better option for some but they hang in there

If somebody needs money enough to ask total strangers out of the blue, I'll always give them whatever I can.

Homeless people are everywhere around where I live. On the off ramps. In the median in the middle of the street. In front of the liquor store, grocery store, donut shop. I don't give money to everyone of them. I do sometimes though. I like this sign the best

"Why lie, I need a beer"

I always give someone abuck who has a sign like that.
I would love to make a picture book of homeless people
and tell a little story about them
I am always surprised and interested when they tell a story of where they came from and how they ended up where they are in their life. Always seems like it could happen to any of us.

Went to America 3 years ago and there was a huge que on the highway, we halted to a stop and saw a beggar with a sign saying *Jesus loves you* we were bored wating so we got all the change out of our dashboard used for those fecking tolls, and gave it al to him we knew he was gonna buy booze and fags with it but what the heck, its his life not ours.

One time i gave my dealer a ride to the store and he left a half in the car while he was gettin some beer. I saw a bum across the street so i pinched out an 1/8th and gave it to him. Guy looked like I had made his year, he even called me his brother. Dealer got back in the car and just kept sayin "WHAT HAPPENED TO MY HALF?" lmao

when i have money i do

[Funkamander]

For the record, they do buy food, too.

Sure, a lot of them buy alchohol or drugs, too. But think about it. You can't eat garbage food exclusively, you'd start getting some serious health problems pretty quick. And, it's only gonna get harder and harder to steal food, the longer you're homeless. Because you're only gonna look and smell weirder and weirder.

No

only because beggars around here pretend that they are homeless, and they normally sit there with a their pet dog so people feel sorry for them but they have a house but they just cant be bothered working.

Anyone can get of their fat ass and get a job, i dont see why these people cant just because they are crackheads / smackheads / alcholics, they need to sort themselves out.

I used to but then I met this homeless guy who was just a slacker. He was a young guy, mid 20's, who could easily have gone out and gotten a job. He started telling me how he liked to be homeless and jobless. He didn't have to get up in the morning and go to work, could do whatever he wanted whenever he wanted, etc., etc. Basically he found it more fun to get his money by getting it from people who worked than to earn it himself. The guy really had this attitude that I couldn't stand. It was like "haha, I don't have to work but you suckers do"

Now I fully realize that a lot of homeless people really have problems, and their situation is not they're fault, but for every one of them I bet there's 3-4 more like the guy I met. I work my ass off for what I have and I'm not about to give it to some lazy slacker who just doesn't want to work. It's unfortunate that they milk the system and take away resources for the people who really need the help.

i usually give them money (change and $1.00's) if i have any, especially when i see kids my age out by themselves living on the streets. i couldn't imagine what that must be like.

but i also agree with campbell, there was this dude that used to stand on the corner of the off-ramp of a freeway. every day this guy would be out there, then one day the local newspaper did a story on him; turns out this guy had a fucking H2 Hummer and some big ass mansion out in the suburbs.
