Truthfully; Do you give money to beggars on the street?

[Jemal]

Tbh, i do sometimes.
Purely cause of my religious beliefs and karma etc.

My religious beliefs meaning; that the beggar could be sometype of angel that god sent from heaven to test my personality, it sounds abit daft i know but its true imo. :laugh:

[Kazanne]

Yes always,especially if they have a dog or play and instrument,lol

[Crimson Dynamo]

Never ever. They are at it.

[Jemal]

thats why i only sometimes lol. cause some of them have a bloody house they go back too.

[Ramsay]

Noooooooo

[Crimson Dynamo]

Its a mugs game

[Crimson Dynamo]

If god wants to test your personality he will use buzzfeed and not some crack head

[Josy]

Not all of them, I tend to ignore those ones you see that are wearing the latest nike air max trainers and have a can or two of cider sat beside them.

There's a big issue guy outside aldis, he's been there for years and I always give him the quid from my trolley, I don't bother taking the big issue though.

[Me. I Am Salman]

Yes, once I gave a bag of hot cod bites from tesco lol

[InOne]

Not usually because a lot of them aren't homeless. And if they were there's plenty of help to get them a bed for a night if they need it. You can't sit down for 5 mins in my city without someone coming up for money or a cig so I guess it has made me quite hardened to it. I've volunteered in a few places where I've seen a lot of people like that throw help away or just simply aren't interested.

[Ramsay]

Lately some have been begging right beside my ATM. and she'd be like ''HELLO?'' really loud when people take out their money. that kind of ****e can **** off

[Jemal]

What city you from? ^
Directed at inone..
Stupid karl got in the way

[Tom4784]

Not often. Most of the time you can tell the money that you give to them will go towards their next fix.

[Apple202]

no not really

Omg it's the same in the town nearest to us and guess what the local council decided to do? build benches in a seating area right outside the bank/atm that just 100% made it even worse so they all hang around there now waiting to scrounge money.

beggers have sold out D:

[Ammi]

..yeah sometimes and like Josy to the Big Issue guy ..my local town is quite small and there aren't really many 'beggars' but if I'm on holiday etc, I tend to take stuff for the children rather than give money...

[Brother Leon]

Rarely. I'll give them food If I have some though. There is one outside a local McDonalds..I usually get an extra chips and give it to him.

[Livia]

Sometimes, I don't like to do it because I don't want them spending money on drugs or drink. I know that sounds sanctimonious... but I do support Shelter and I buy a Big Issue regularly. I think it's shameful that one of the richest countries in the world has people living and sleeping rough.

[MTVN]

Nah, not because I have any principle against it or what they'd spend their money on etc. but just because I'm too cheap to spare with any change really

[Jemal]

Here in las vegas nevada there alot of people sleeping rough aswell in the streets.
Its a shame, a place like this filled with so much money still cant accomadate some.

[arista]

Tbh, i do sometimes.

Are you really in Las Vegas, Jemal?

[Glenn.]

Ones with dogs I do. I buy dog food for then too /saint

[Jay.]

Outside of my college that are loads of them, I literally have no money though, so I always have to say no. I feel bad, but I used to do charity work so I'm not all that bad.

[Jemal]

Of Course I'am.

[Jay.]

Of Course I'am.

You must be mistaking me son.

[Loukas]

No all the beggars that i know of are defiantly hardcore drug addicts, i'm not funding their habit :nono:

[Sophiee]

Nah, not because I have any principle against it or what they'd spend their money on etc. but just because I'm too cheap to spare with any change really
this, I never do it.

[mizzy25]

No never

[Vicky.]

No but if I am pissed I have been known to buy a coffee/sandwich etc for them.

I did used to give to one guy quite regularly though//got to know him through work (he was ALWAYS outside my workplace when I was waiting to go home)

I know of people though..and this sounds ridiculous but its true...who sit on the street to get money then go home after hitting a certain target. 2 people I 'know' do this. Kinda sours my views on giving cash tbh...hence giving food/drink instead

[joeysteele]

Yes I do, I feel very fortunate in my life and for whatever reasons these individuals find themselves on the streets,I decide for myself not to make any judgements and when I come across them I will hand them some funds.

I have also taken them for a meal or got a takeaway and had one with them,talked to them a fair bit and the life stories are fascinating.

I am aware that I never know, one day I could be on the streets for any reason/s,so I feel a duty,only speaking for myself, to reach out to others who appear to be and may well be far less fortunate than I am.

[Livia]

Of Course I'am.

[Ninastar]

i almost always give half of my change away when i buy something at a shop. always put it in one of those little charity bucket things

[cheeky_monkey]

Sometimes

[Jemal]

Right....... Yeah, I'm really in Transylvania.

LOL

[Kate!]

I don't give money. I buy them something to eat and drink instead.

[Beso]

Of course I do..

Each and everytime I see someone I like the look of.

Or a horse I see in the paper that takes my fancy I will usually give to the beggers at traffic lights that have the limps to raise my karma levels before the off..

I do write down the lucky intersections for future encounters...

[MTVN]

I am no longer quite as cheap so I do sometimes :hee:

[Kazanne]

Yes especially young musicians
