Would you give beggars money or not?

[packardbell]

would you give money?

[tsat]

nope.

They get paid too much already and don't pay taxes on it. Their culture of entitlement must come to an end.

[Jimboski]

That second set of pictures are scary..

I probably wouldn't.. Depends..

[wwedx]

I most likely wouldnt

[Conquistador]

OP, just how much were you looking for?

[chinese zzz]

you people are heart less ... the last picture is a old man...

the Chinese writing are pretty nice ..

I can't really make out what the first 2 sets say, but the last one really just wants food. =S Just saying.

Typically when it's something like that, I wouldn't mind giving them something i have on me (chocolate bar, whatevs) but generally I don't like giving out money. .

There's a highway entrance by my house and EVERY night, I see the same "homeless" guy standing there at the lights of the off ramp with a sign that says "anything helps, need food". But he's not there if it's raining/snowing or is really cold. And I'm pretty sure if I gave him a bagel or whatever, he'd throw it back in my face.

exactly, when i used to get off at 401/weston it was the same deal... Complete coincidence that there's a beer store and LCBO right there too I'm sure

I'd like to punch you in the balls, disfigure your face and throw you on the street.

Then I'd throw 1 yuan at you.

WTF?

[FrogPrince]

Is this in China or Toronto?

[flashy_mcflash]

I have a standing policy never to give the same homeless person money more than once. But I do throw some money to hobos if I've got an excess of change and am having a particularly bad day. Makes me feel better.

[DiceMan]

Sure. I don't make a regular habit out of it but I give money once in a while. They might use it for food or for booze, I don't know. But it does make me feel a bit better about myself that day.

What I just can't stand are teenage kids, two arms, two legs, and apparently healthy and capable who panhandles for money. These guys in the picture do look like they're down on their luck.

Guess you didn't get the memo, most of the people are con artist.

Once you drop $1 to the guy. 50 more beggars will come after you asking for money.

These people are professionals.

I would rather give some thing rather than money
Maybe buy a coffee or sandwich to a poor old person
