Truthfully; Do you give money to beggars on the street?
 
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 21-05-2014 11:05 AM

Crimson Dynamo 21-05-2014 11:05 AM

Jemal 21-05-2014 11:06 AM

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

Josy 21-05-2014 11:10 AM

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.

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

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 21-05-2014 11:14 AM

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 21-05-2014 11:15 AM

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

Tom4784 21-05-2014 11:15 AM

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

Apple202 21-05-2014 11:16 AM

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 21-05-2014 11:23 AM

..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 21-05-2014 11:23 AM

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 21-05-2014 11:25 AM

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 21-05-2014 11:26 AM

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 21-05-2014 11:31 AM

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.
