When I walking in the park or shopping around the market...I always met some beggers some of them are disabled and very old and others are 7-10 year old chridren...what should I do ? give them some money or just walk away? You know I always heard some reports said some organizations control the beggers and push them to beg in the street....on the other hand there are so many people need others' help I can't help all of them?
what would you do?

From my own personal experience many beggars are more well off than me or you. They collect oney from people all day and they can receive more in one day than we do in one month. For this reason I dont give to beggars. I wull give to friends if they are in need and I will give to charity but not someone in the street that I dont know who is asking for money

That is right, from my past experience, majority of them are scams, and they simply wants easy money instead of going to work, and sweat all day. I won't give my sympathy to them, and I simply walk away. I met a couple of beggars like that. They are strong, and well - built, they can work on construction sites or fast food joint earn some minimal wage instead of roaming around the street.

That really depends, because I couldn't simply give everyone money because they come to me and beg. Some people are still strong, and be able to do physical job, why don't they simply work at the fast food joint or other places to earn some extra money to feed themselves instead of begging on the streeet. That is the way we work within this community. If a lady tagged along with some children, and the children seems hungry, I might pitifully give them a couple of dollars.
