sometimes, but rarely. I usually give them a lunch or something instead. so they can actually use it for something. that, and i feel better when i give them a lunch or something.

Most of my jobs have been easy except for the trade work, but the point is I wouldn't say I alwaysearned the money the employer paid me in most cases because it wasn't really work nor hard work. So I didn't earn all of my paychecks. They werejust legally obligated to pay me for my time.

How many people actually do real work? How many people actually earn their paycheck? Does showing up for work and doing some work mean you have earned it? Do you really work hard? Everybodyclaims they work hard and most people believe they work hard, but how much of their pay do they actucally earn?

Anyway... I don't give money to thehomeless because the taxes I pay fund programsthat shelter and aid them. I don't assume they are junkies or alcoholics but they probably are. Government aid sux, nobody can live on that so when you have no family and can't get a good job because your ailment or disability is a liabilityemployers don't want to risk soyou really have no choice but to be homeless. They don't have the oppurtunities nor capabilities of everyone else. Many of them become junkies & drunks because that's how they deal with their depressing life. They are gutter bums and they will probably never graduate to anything better.

The shelters will only keep them for so long then they are thrown back into circulation. So the way I see it is they have two choices. #1 Join the Military if the military will take them or #2 Commit a felony which will get them thrown in jail. (which is what many of them do)

Here the homless are arrested. They are picked up for loitering, trespassing and solicitation which basically keeps them from wondering around in public begging for money.

I don't even notice homeless people...they are pathetic.thisishowtowin

A little humility would suit you better.

No I give them a bottle of Alcohol, I cut out the middle manWhicker89

Nope, never have never will. The majority just spend what you give them on drugs, alcohol and cigarettes. Heck last week i was walking behind two tramps and they were talking about buying needles to use.edd678

No,

There was one guy where I would give him $2 and would ask for more up to about $20 and by the looks of him (mostlikely drunk) if I didnt I would have ended up in hospital or probably dead if I was on my own but was lucky enough to have had a friend with me at the time.

Thre was another who was harmless but very annoying.

I try to keep a good distance from them now.

No way. They aren't even trying to look for work, they are sitting in public view with their hands out, the reason being that they make more money that way than working for minimum wage. When you gave that kid twenty bucks chances are that it was used for H or booze for his parents.
