No doubt. One regular in town will ask people for money with a cigarette in hand.

Irritates the heck out of me. Bleeding heart. I absolutely refuse to give street beggars anything. Most of the ones I see are professionals who have been doing it for years. They wouldn't be on the same corners if they weren't making money IMO.

LOL.....i think your wife and mine must be related!!
although i love her kindness towards people, i have to keep her in check sometimes.
the one and only time i did give a bumb some money was when he approached me and said, sir, i'll be honest with you, i am drunk and i want to get more drunk and i would appreciate it if you would give me a dollar. so i said thanks for your honesty and gave him a buck.

LOL. They just might be! ;D I like your story. :D
How about this. When my wife I were dating (think we were about 19) a "homeless" man approached us at the taco shop and asked her to buy him some food. Not just food, but a "carne asada burrito" (steak). I told her, in front of him, "don't do it." The guy had a beer belly. Obviously not missing too many meals. She did it anyway. When she handed him the food he didn't say thank you. He complained that she didn't give him taco sauce too! I was ready to punch the guy. I will never let her forget it. :)

Women don't always have that same fight/flight/fuck/food response that men have. Everything we look at, we mentally make a quick analysis of the situation and choose one of these options.
Women are more gullible, sadly. Call it compassion, or call it ability to be infiltrated and put in a dangerous situation.
