Terrible thing to be homeless.

Yes I give, but only to native homless people as they get the least help. I like the ones with quiet dignity who just sit quietly witha cup head bowed, when they hear teh jingle theyseem so appreciative of it.

My dad every winter buys lots of gloves, hats thermal vests etc and gives them to the hostels to give out free.

Here's a funny for ya. Back in uni, one of the lads was doing the errands downtown, and in a fit of generosity, gave some guy a fiver. He later ran into the same guy an hour later at the liquor store buying top-shelf scotch, while he was only buying CC. Took him 8 drinks before we could get him to laugh about it.  :D

I have before.....but it's rare that I do. If I feel the guy is sincere and is going to use my money wisely I have no trouble trying to help. In fact I would feel guilty if I didn't. I have spoken to many homeless guys and they eventually admit that they head to a bar after they collect money all day. They are (95% of the time) healthy enough to work but don't. They often are healthy enough to run to the local bar or corner store to waste your money on alcohol. I have have had homeless guys lie to my face just so they could get some cash out of me. That alcohol addiction was calling. Sometimes people are so mentally beaten down that drinking is their way around the pain. It numbs the pain. They are so mentally beat up that they would rather do nothing but hold a sign on the side of the road asking for your cash. The thought of working a job for minimum wage has left them long ago. They will give you every excuse in the world why they cannot physically perform work.  It's a lie that they have convinced themselves is true.


I have a friend that was hit by a train when he was a kid and he lived. He has tramatic brain injuries and this guy rides his bike every where. He broke is arm once and couldn't ride the bike so he pushed himself around town in a wheelchair with one arm. He has worked out at the gym for years. That's where I met him. He has had a rough life. He has been mugged several times. He undrestands that women don't want him and that gets him down. But he doesn't abuse alcohol or do drugs.

Do you give to homeless people?

Absolutely not, never in a million years!
  I WILL (and do) give to the local homeless shelters and other charities that help those who are down on their luck, but giving money to panhandlers does nothing but encourage panhandling.  The beggars at streetcorners are just looking for alcohol, drug, or cigarette money.  If they want food or shelter, they can go to one of the shelters I do donate to and they will be provided for.  Streetcorner panhandlers make a city look seedy, and create a traffic hazard.  The practice should be outlawed.

I wouldn`t mind if they bought alcohol if it makes them happy.  


We're in one of the richest countries in the world,
but the minimum wage is lower than it was thirty five years ago.
There are homeless people everywhere.
This homeless guy asked me for money the other day.
I was about to give it to him and then I thought he was going to use it on drugs or alcohol.
And then I thought, that's what I'm going to use it on.
Why am I judging this poor bastard.
People love to judge homeless guys. Like if you give them money they're just going to waste it.
Well, he lives in a box, what do you want him to do? Save it up and buy a wall unit?
Take a little run to the store for a throw rug and a CD rack? He's homeless.
I walked behind this guy the other day.
A homeless guy asked him for money.
He looks right at the homeless guy and says why don't you go get a job you bum.

Outside his pants. I'm guessing his resume isn't all up to date.
I'm predicting some problems during the interview process.
I'm pretty sure even McDonalds has a "underwear goes inside the pants" policy.
Not that they enforce it really strictly, but technically I'm sure it is on the books.

Maximizing happiness should be the goal here, NOT judging what YOU think he should do with the money.  Ask him next time, "if I give you this money, what can you do with it that will make you most happy and give you the longest enjoyment?"


Afterall, what is the goal of life other than to survive, learn, teach, invent and maximize happiness for yourself and others?

As far as I'm concerned, if they want drugs or alcohol, they need to earn it by earning the money themselves.  If you earned the money, you can do whatever you want with it, including waste it on vices.  But if you're relying on the charity of others, you don't have the right to take those liberties.

How does one determine what "earn" means and who sets the standards?  Where is the "earn and deserve" manual?


What if a homeless man was a former veteran who took a few bullets to save another, who later would go on to become a doctor saving lives?

Would he have earned it then?  When and how do you judge earning?  What is earning?  Is it arbitrary in some cases?  If  you think earning is merely passage of time, (hours worked at a job), versus saving someones life 30 years ago, how did you determine one is more deserving of the title "earned" over the other?

  I agree with this.  I give to the homeless a lot and have on many occassions say down and talked with them.  We can all say that everyone has choices in life but that is ignoring almost everything else that we know about life-that our experiences often dictate our ability to make choices and how we live our lives.  Without fail, the homelessn I've talked to(usually alcoholic in the country I live in) have all had it WAY harder than most.  And yes, of course there are a lot of people that have had it hard, but they often show the same base problems with different symptoms in adulthood-whereas these men and women turned to alcohol and maybe crime for comfort, others turned to money and a sense of authority over others....same disorder, different symptoms.

I'm using the word "earn" in the traditional economic sense.  He provides something of value (his labor, or a good or service), and someone gives him cash in exchange for it.  The cash is then his to spend as he pleases.

Standing at a street intersection, holding a sign (or not), and hassling every stopped car for money is the most common.  Then there are the ones who set up where there are large crowds and hassle pedestrians for money.  Then there are the ones who try to "clean your windshield" with dirty rainwater in a spray bottle and a dirty squeegee  (these I usually see coming, and I roll down my window and say "touch my car and I'm going to break your fuccking arm").

Standing at a street intersection, holding a sign (or not), and hassling every stopped car for money is the most common.  Then there are the ones who set up where there are large crowds and hassle pedestrians for money.  Then there are the ones who try to "clean your windshield" with dirty rainwater in a spray bottle and a dirty squeegee  (these I usually see coming, and I roll down my window and say "touch my car and I'm going to break your fuccking arm").

Was driving in the hoods of Chicago and at an intersection this also happened.  This 40-50ish black guy walked up to the truck in front of me and attempted to clean the guys windshield.  Well the guy went off on the black man yelling at him and calling him names, the guy backed up and took the berating and walked towards my vehicle behind the first guy, I rolled down my window to say no thanks.  The guy looked at me and said "please don't yell at me, your not like that other guy, please don't hate me, I gotta try, I gotta keep trying"  He was almost crying, I gave him some change and he thanked me.

That experience helped teach me more.  Here was a sincere guy who at least was trying to offer a service, he was doing the best he could at the time and his humility was Christ like.  I don't think there are many jobs in his hood or if he even has an address, so yeah Microsoft or McDonald's for that matter will not be hiring him anytime soon.

Well what it does is discourage the practice because it takes some effort, a lot actually, to get a pan handling license.  Think of it like a poll tax or other similar Jim Crowesque practices.  Its a veiled preventative measure that attempts to dissuade the practice and gives cops the ability to remove the majority who do not have a license and gives them great bullying power to anyone they "think" is panhandling.  


It has been the subject of great controversy as great abuses have been carried out with these type of laws.

I never give money directly to homeless people, but support two charities that I find do important and good work: www.shelter.org.uk/ which helps homeless people find homes and people about to become homeless from loosing theirs and Restos du Coeur http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Restaurants_du_Cœur  which feeds the needy. I support them via monthly salary deductions or via a monthly standing order from my account., so I don't have to think about it. I sometimes buy the magazines, which are produced by homeless and unemployed and sold by them in the street.

Occasionally when I see a homeless person in front of a super market I ask them whether they are hungry and would like to have a sandwich - if they say yes (which they rarely do) I buy them one in the shop. If they ask for money I tell them how to get in touch with the charities above.

One "approach" popular in Europe which really annoys me are people in train stations telling you that they lost their wallet and are collecting money to buy a ticket home. Every time one of them approaches me, I ask how much money they are missing for their ticket. I then tell them that I don't have any cash on me, but am happy to go to a ticket machine with them and buy the ticket for them with my credit card if they give me the cash they have already collected. Surprisingly none of them has ever accepted that offer...

Terrible thing to be homeless.

Yes I give, but only to native homless people as they get the least help. I like the ones with quiet dignity who just sit quietly witha cup head bowed, when they hear teh jingle theyseem so appreciative of it.

My dad every winter buys lots of gloves, hats thermal vests etc and gives them to the hostels to give out free.

wow, that's great.

Over here, we have the tendency of people begging to up their welfare check. If it's not embarassing for you, you can make good money begging in some german cities. And somehow, the people's attitude has changed, and now there are quite a lot of Non-homeless people begging.

I see one guy in front of a supermarket on the other end of the city ed, decent clothes, begging only from 11 to 17, when the old folks and moms go shopping.
You can see the guy very often in quite good clothing on the other end of town, shopping like a normal person.
I bet he makes 50 to 100 Euros ed, that's not bad at all, and he pays no taxes as well.

I saw a guy at a street corner with an "I want work" sign at 6:45 am, still pretty dark out.  I was tempted to give him a day's work just for his motivation, but it was going to be a 1 man day.  I still might if I see him there again and have enough to do. 

Lunatics, aggressive pan handlers, stage 3 syphilis sufferers, and substance abusers get the back of my hand.  If they're sober, sane, and polite, it depends on my mood and the fickle finger of fate.

I went to Nogales once and most whites there seemed to get a kick out of throwing spare coins down to the Mexicans who were gathered under the balcony of the second story bar with their arms outstretched bleating 'pleeeeese' over and over.  I didn't hang around in Nogales too long.  :-X

I never give to the homeless.  Where I live and work, the homeless are the same people who have been begging for the last 2-4 years in the exact same spot.  They don't do anything.  There's one black guy who uses the same line over and over and over...."will you please help me get a meal from McDonalds?"

Imagine saying that line over and over every monday through friday for years.  He would be better off working at McDonalds if he likes it so much.  Fuck the homeless.

I work in downtown Chicago which has so many less people on weekends walking around that I'm sure he just goes to another neighborhood.  On Saturday and Sunday he might switch it up and say "Will you please help me get a meal at Wendy's" instead. 

I'm thinking of just humiliating this guy by bringing him weird shit every day, like a clown cone from Baskin Robbins or one of those big smiley face cookies.  I might also try giving him some dvd's i don't want too, or just some extra white copy paper.

I often just buy them guest passes to the gym and let them watch me train and practice my posing. Those memories are priceless.

Food only directly to them...also bought one a bus ticket once.

We support a shelter that assists them in ending their homelessness through programs and courses, etc.  Also, they can't "use" and stay at that shelter...there are other shelters for that.

I didn't realise there were homeless people in your neck of the woods, interesting.

what about in asia?
One homeless asian lady strolls around downtown Long Beach...I'd take her in (I'm addicted to asian ladies  aged 18-65)  but can barely afford myself.
