money giving to beggers

No I would not cause you don't know what they are going to spend it on. I would rather buy them food and give it to them

Yes I will give, Hey we are all human and sometimes we all need a little help. Its true sometimes they might be supporting a habit. But what if they have children to feed.

I think it's a bad idea to assume that someone is homeless simply because they are lazy. Many times these people just can't make ends meet and/or can't find a job despite all their looking.

I agree with you Chakrareddy. I also avoid them but sometimes cant really help myself and i give them some money.

It's a tough call. I don't make a practice of it; depends on the situation and if my B.S. detector goes off when I hear the person's story.

I agree with you, but if I see someone in a really sad state and real old I do soemtimes. Most times I take them to the nearest eatery-retaurant and order food for them, rather than give them money. I ensure that they don't try and wheedle the money that I have paid for their food from the restaurant help insiead of eating the food.

We have a few homeless people who live in the woods not too far from where I live. I think most are old veterans and have slight mental problems. Most people in the area give them a few bucks when they see them around. They also get coffee and food from the fast food places. They are nice guys, they actually like the way they live.

I never liked to give to people asking for money because you can tell some of them are cons, but how would I really know. I would hope someone would give to me if I ever was down and out and really needed help. I made a deal with the Lord that if I ever had money or change in my pocket when someone on the street approached me that needed it....I would give it to them and trust that the Lord had a plan for it. This started for me when I didn't have any money to spare. Never failed...the Lord tested my heart and I turned over my money. No more conflict....no money in pocket can't do it.

i do give to needy sometimes cos it doesnt hurt to give but not too much i rather give for the good cause if i see them want to use the money to start a new project or in order to get a job i give the money to them( the needy)

Yes I give it , but those people those are unfit for doing any kind of job, those who have no other choice except begging.

money giving to beggars..you have your point..but sometimes i felt pitty,so i give..but only to children who needs it or maybe ill just give food than money

I only give to the old

yes, if they are actually poor

Wow, what if you were in that situation, any one of us can be there. Things happen. Its not always being lazy or even dirty. If you feel laziness is killing human qualities what human qualities are you talking about?

It really depends. I give sometimes. Because of my sins which are bigger than theirs. Never give to adults who could work, but to kids or elder persons.

great view!but we should atleast help beggers !

I have no problem with giving to beggars. I know what it's like.

To me, it depends on their situation. Each individual is different, and to me, some needs are Genuine, and you never know what can come from it. If we give to others in their time of need, we will be blessed for it. You really never know when it might not be you needing the help. But then if they are holding a Sign, you just decipher for yourself thru your gut feelings if they are genuine or not, and hope you are doing the right thing.

No, I never give money to any beggers. Because I personally know people who con people into giving them money and it is dishonest, it don't matter if they look like they are on the street either because I know people who dress like they live on the streets to scam money, to drink, or get high etc... So even if I have money I tell them I am broke

I give to very old people or disabled person. Sometimes it's very hard for me not to give for children..but I should not give them any money when they beg
