Do you Like to Give money to Beggers ?

Not to say I don't like them. I will see how they look first. Some beggars here are in control of a syndicate which ask them to beg and at the end of the day, will collect the cash from them. I see many children being used to get money from public by this syndicate. I will not give them money if I know one.

I generally dont encourage begging. I consider it as a social evil. I dont give any kind of help to the people whom i feel physically fit. But in some situations, like when i come across very old people i will give them some money or i buy them some food.

i used to give money to beggars but not anymore. i see them gambling on the street so i dont give money anymore. i always have candies or cookies in my bag and give them food rather than money.

I guess I am lucky because this isn't something I have seen a lot of. I have lived in generally smaller towns and even in our city there aren't a lot to make it a real bother. I did go to Chicago once and was instructed by the person I was with not to give money because more will surround me. I have to admit I felt guilty for not giving any. I worked for many years helping families in crisis. A few were families that were homeless due to situations of them not being able to maintain housing. I didn't run into anyone that wanted to be homeless so my heart goes out to those that are. I can not imagine what it would be like to be without a home. We say get a job but I who will give someone a job that hasn't had a bath or that has clothes that are torn and dirty? I know if anyone had walked in to where I managed I would not have even had an interview with them. So how what do we do?

Well...I think we shouldn't give money to beggars coz God has given everyone two hands to work and to earn. Why they need assistance. we can give money if we want to but why to spoil somebody by giveing them. Let them to work, if no one will give then one day they will work and earn by themselves only. They are spoilin nature and God's creation and half of the money they use to give to those people who appoint them and who's under they work... anything can help...this is 21st century

In my city we have a lot of people who come up to you and ask for money. I have a few simple rules on whether or not I give the person money. For one, if and only if I have some spare change in my pocket (no bills) then I might. If I have to reach into my purse/wallet and/or if I have to sort through bills than I won't. For two, if I've seen this person walk about to a bunch of people asking for money there's also a good chance I won't give them anything. I also listen to their story. They make up some pretty bad stories when they're just trying to get some money. I remember a woman who told me some sob story about how her daughter was at daycare and she needed to pick her up but she didn't have money for the bus. I didn't give her money. About 20 minutes later this woman came up to me again and said another sob story about how she needed to get to the airport because she was going to miss her plane and she didn't have enough for the taxi. She not only had two different stories, but she couldn't even remember that she'd just talked to me 20 minutes before. Another man I once gave money to because he just asked if he could have any spare change for food. I said, sure... and handed him 50 cents that I had in my pocket. He thanked me profusely and told me that when he got rich and famous he would pay me back. It was sweet and cute because obviously he wasn't going to be rich and famous or pay me back since he didn't even know who I was.

If the begger is younger or healthy enough, and he/she can afford himself, i will not help them, but if i come across a handicapped and lose survive ability, i will help them .

if they are really poor and weaken man,then I would like to help them,but now there are more and more people who pretend to be beggars and actually,they can earn money by themselves,but they just want to earn money easily by this,to them,I will not give money to them.

I often don't give money to them now, especially for those young beggers. Now there are beggars teams now. They are a big team. They can go some expensive restaurant that I can't go. They can earn over $1000 per day. It is a good job, too. hahaha. When I have a shop, everyday a beggar go to my shop and ask money, if I dont' give him, he will say bad words to me. Sometimes I want to hit him.

i used to before.. but when i saw them gambling in the streets i stop giving them money instead i give them food.
