Do you always give money to every beggar you meet?

Most of the time, I gave few coins to every beggar or street children I'd met on the street. But most of my friends told me that it's not good to give them because they would not learned to work and rely on begging. Do you think it's right not to give them?

there are lots of beggars pretending that they are beggars because they wear gutay gutay clothes so that they can catch the attention for us.i am also have a good heart to the poor and It is better to give them a food than a money. Because I make sure they are full to the food.

i always gave some coins to beggars on the street but now i never do this becoz i learnt that they are pretending to be poor while in fact they are quite rich by begging.they even go to huge restaurants and order expensive dished when they end one day's beg.

Hi careguarden... have a happy day.... Generally i never give money to all the beggars whom i meet....but i will always have some coins for giving to those who are physically challenged....I believe that its true when you give money to a healthy and fir person , we make me lazy and guide him not to work at all.... this is really bad and so i give money to only blind and handicapped persons....

we must alert in giving coins to the beggars who are in need. just like the blind what you've said. we must check it before we give because sometimes the beggars used their abnormalities to get money from us.

I usually always give some change to those begging. I feel if they have enough nerve to sit there and beg for money, it wouldn't hurt me to give them some. what I cannot stand is when you see the same person, on the same street, everyday begging for money. Then I start to get irritated and wonder why they can't exert that time and energies into finding a job to make their own money.
