do now and again. me and a few mates a few months ago gave a tramp £20 . his face was a picture and he went straight into subway and ordered food. im sure he peobably spent the rest on booze but it was his money.

i give to homeless organisations and charities, because then i know my money is being spent worthwhile.

I dont give it to randoms in the street because the majority will spend it on booze or drugs. If they were actually homeless theyd go to a shelter or seek help, rather than lie in the street.

I think most druggies have cottoned on to the fact we are a nation of dog lovers, which is why they drag a poor scabby half starved pooch around...arseholes.

keep a open mind on this - its a tear jerker and act - if you really want to do something - donate money to a homeless chairty like SHELTER. or buy the big issue. often beggers have drink and drug problems and the money is going to that and there problem can only deepen.

No, they want to get of their arse's, stop feeling sorry for themselves and get a job like the rest of us have to.

it depends on my mood. Sometimes i'll give them whatever change i have in my pockets, sometimes i'll give them nothing, sometimes i'll give them a 20 dollar bill. It totally depends on my mood and also depends on the person. If i see someone that looks like a young hippie that's just homeless as an adventure, i'll usually give them something. If i see someone that's older that looks like a crackhead, then i won't give them anything.

Not money tbh.. I give my chips from a meal at times or the drink if I have drinks home already.

Sometimes do, normally when I feel forced into it though, when I'm travelling through London on my way to/from Uni I'll sometimes have a cigarette outside train station and when they catch you there the easiest way to get them to go away is sometimes just to give them a few pennies

I'm quite scared of the homeless to be honest.

Also I've seen groups (or families) of beggars setting off in the morning to pick the spots and begs for the day, some of them see to treat it as a job.

Anyway to answer the question, no I don't give to homeless.
