Went to the gas station with one of my friends and was approached by a homeless guy with some sob story wanting money. My friend gave the guy $30 and told me that I was going to hell for not giving the guy any cash.

Am I the only one who never gives these people money?

I don't. Last time I gave money to a homeless guy, he tried to fight me the next day. He was in a wheelchair.

Only suburbanites who are taking a weekend in the city allow these bums to engage them in conversation.

I literally pulled out my baw Jay Cutler's "DONT CAAAAAAAAARE" the other day when some urban poor tried to start up his sob story on me. At least get a fricking harmonica out and TRY, you loser.

I don't redistribute my wealth. I'm not a communist. I use the money I earned to generate more wealth for myself.

Never cash. I'll buy them what they want on my card here and there. I usually end up buying them beer or liquor.

Any time anyone asks me this question, I always tell them I give them food instead of money.


I never give them food.

Imagine this. Your friend thinks you are going to the same place Hitler went because you didn't pony up money to a homeless person. Reevaluate your friends. He sounds like a mouth breather. #religionbecray

Seriously.

I had a panhandler begging me for bus fare in town last week.

I pointed out that the bus he was waiting for was actually free.

I offer food. I have never had anyone accept.

I saw one the other day with an I phone. I should have offered him an iTunes card.

If I buy a beer that I'm just not a fan of, I just leave it over near the homeless camp.

My friend gave me so much shite for not giving money to that guy. He said there's people that really need help and that I'm too fortunate to not help homeless people.

I'm guessing your friend supports BLM.

Like I'm going to fork over the hard earned money my parents send me every week.
