if a beggar beg for help do you help them?

It depends.if the beggar is disabled then i give him money.if a small kid asks for money i refuse because they collect money from trains and give it to their parents these kids parents earn more than a normal working person.

Hello,july! Often I help the baggers,but not all.i would not like to give any thing to able bodied man/woman.In my country my government gives a dozen benefits to the poor people.it is providing labor-oriented jobs to people below the poverty line,supplying rice and wheat at subsidised rates.and now i found baggers on rare occasions.even the disabled persons are getting monthly allowance for their maintenance.all these efforts of the government have discouraged bagging in the street.of course some baggers are yet found in the temple areas,near the churches or the mosques.in my area the baggers never behave badly rather they wish good who helps them in any way.thank you.

I often see beggar begging on the road.And generally I won't give any coin to them.I remember someone ever cheat me,they told me they have no money buy ticket and need 5 or ten yuan.So I trust them and give them my all coins.At the result,they still ask money for other people.Then I feel very angry,from then on,they leave me a bad impression.

Generally i won't encourage begging,if they r old or handicapped n helpless to earn money means i help them,otherwise no.If anybody is really in need i help them definitely.

yup, i do help them if they really needed but most of the beggers are not really beggers they just cramp...

I used to give money all the time. Then, in North Carolina a woman came up to my car and asked me for any money. I gave her what I could find. She just started yelling at me asking me if I was SURE that was it. I never heard a thank you or anything else. Next thing I see is her going in the Barnes and Noble buying a coffee that I don't even buy because it was too much money at the time. So, yeah, I won't do it again.

I think its very degrading for anyone to need to beg for sustinance. So long as I have money I am willing to share small amounts with someone who finds themself in dire circumstances that require them to beg on the streets. My young adult children are generous to the point of craziness with people begging on the streets.

I do help beggars but I have to really be moved to do so. I am coming from a positon of always having a soft heart for poeple in need to one where I now them with a suspicious eye. This new position I have taken all stems from experiences. It is so hurtful to be used by someone who you genuinely tried to help. Today they beg you giving such plausible stories and then tomorrow you see them somewhere else giving another story. I have even had times when the same person I helped before, approach me with a totally different story from the fisrt. Then I have to say them you told me a totally different story yesterday and no I will not help you agaain.

I had ever seen a college student begging money for returning home before winter holiday. She standed at the side of the street with a paper written the reason why she was here begging. Many people saw her and some gave money to her for her going home as soon as possible. But several days later, I saw the same student doing the same thing. She wasn't a disabled woman and after all, didn't she has ant roommates or classmates? I wondered if she just wanted to ask for money. Sometimes, I couldn't believe that such a beatuiful girl or those well-being persons prefered to beg instead of earning money by their own. I prefer to give money to physical disabled persons and those who really need help. It is said some beggers become millionaire, and they exhibit totally different impression to others. They can be a poor man, also a rich man, believe it or not.

Where I live, it's rare you see beggers. I always feel so sorry for them, and give money if I can. I always think about going to buy them lunch (silly, I know). But I never have the courage to. I'm a young woman. Anything could happen these days. Though, when I go to the city, I see beggers everywhere. It's not often I give them money. Once my parent's and I were at the harbor, and a couple asked us for money. He gave them 10$ to help them out. A month later, we saw the same couple doing the same thing. I felt sorry for them, but there's two of them. Surely there's a job somewhere in the city that could help you out. Baltimore is a huge city. Something was bound to be out there. I felt bad, but I just couldn't waste my money on people I thought were just abusing the this.

i think the government also plays a vital role in this issue. If our politicians create and support programs that provide food and shelter, and most importantly a livelihood progam that would help the poor people to support themselves and their families so as to avoid going to streets and beg..I think it would lessen the increasing poverty in any country particularly those in the Third world.
