I saw one begger leave his post but he left a giant bag of unopened trail mix sitting on the ground that someone just gave him.

I work too hard for my money to give it away.

I'll give a few dollars to the wino who is looking for a drink to help him with his suffering. I don't give to the gutter punks or anyone who looks strung out.

Nope, never. I don't care to enable their homelessness.

Almost never...but on a very rare occasion, I just get a feeling about someone and give them a buck or two.

regardless of the reason for being there, living in the streets and begging for money is a pretty damn shitty life.

I'd think about it if they performed a song and dance.

Yep. If they buy a bottle, they'll at least be happy for a night

You got conned more than once, and even now you still give but not often? It's foolish bitches like you that keep those wretched shitbags begging on every single corner. They're out of control in Nola and Houston.

Yes. I believe God accepts bribes, so I give.

I have a friend that prays with them as he gives them the money and prays that if they are accepting this money under false pretense that he prays that God will curse them from the top of their head to the bottom of their feet.

Used to do it but not now. Too many real needy people out there that are legit and more deserving!

Nope. They need more help than what a few bucks would bring.

I stopped filling up at the circle k at the north gate of campus because I get asked EVERY TIME for some change. Eventually I would see them approaching and would ask if they had some change before they had a chance to ask me. It was funny the first few times but even that got old.

I don't give money but I will offer to buy food. If they refuse the food I assume they are not starving.

I'll give them food on occasion. Sometimes a beer, but no cash.
