Who am I to judge? The person who worked for that F'n money that's who.
Its the equivalent of starting a non profit organization to comfort the guys on death row. If its compassion its misplaced. Thats what makes you an idiot.

I can't stand that either. Begging...seriously begging....so ing pathetic.
This is absolutely true. No doubt there are plenty of scammers out there; but the majority of these people require ins utionalization. They may be alcoholics or drug addicts because of mental illness or vice versa, either way they were turned out onto the streets by the lack of mental health resources. Yes they choose to be homeless, much in the same way my senile mother in law chose to wear her underwear over her clothes instead of underneath. I'm not making excuses for them, it's just the way it is.
I always have that spare change in the console of my car. If I'm paying attn, if the traffic is stopped I'll give. 50 cents is not going to make a big difference in my life right now. Now I will often buy a newspaper from those guys whether or not I want it. At least they are doing something.
If you're mentally ed up beyond being functional the State won't refuse to in utionalize them.
Lots of s work too. McDonalds loves to hire the s. They can work just like any other person. My wifes cousin is a . He works at the aquarium and probably gets more pussy than half the board members here. He's learned the fine art of sympathy poon.
That's right...and I worked for it so I can give as I please. But I understand why people feel the way they do and believe me I have those feelings too. I just go with the better feeling.
Once again, your post makes me laugh and want to kill you all at the same time. Guess I should expect that by now

Don't give $, but I'll give them something to eat-usually a power bar. Helps keep their energy up for the long, hot days of begging.
There is this homeless dude that I see just about every day near Buena Vista and Smith at the Las Delicious restaurant. If I see him I give him about 50cents. He is in his fiftys, walks with a crutch. At first, I had misgivings about it, than I saw him buying tacos. It makes me feel good, so I still give him money. I gave a taco to this one guy near Fredricksburg and I-10 because he had a sign that he was hungery. The next day I saw him with brand new clothes. I don't give him money or food any more.
Homeless people typically don't stand on hot street corners in the suburbs. They generally huddle in places with other homeless people where there is shade. They also don't move very much; they sit or recline in one place and conserve their energy.
Occasionally you will run into an aggressive homeless person. This person is more likely to be a drug addict or severely mentally ill. Otherwise, homeless are passive, even shy. Soliciting help is dangerous because while there are some people willing to help, there are also criminals eager to take advantage and deprive them of what little they have. They especially try to stay away from RV salesman. Those guys are the worst.
These threads make my day.
Psssssst! some of us read the TRoll forum!
Psssssst!! I know that.
I was homeless for about a month. I slept in a dumpster and got crushed by a garbage truck one night sleeping in a dumpster behind the Auto zone on culebra rd.
I found a place called Goodnight's on Colorado street it was 5.00 dollars a night and they would have part time jobs if you wanted one. I went to one and i served food for some rich rancher guy off I-10, then I went on another job moving office supplies and office furniture at night. These Jobs pay 8-10 dollars an hour but we only see 4.50 an hour. (back in 1989-1990) era.
I started to pay my weekly stay at the bunkhouse so i got weekends free. I bought me some black pants ,white shirt and a bow tie and got a job as a bus boy on the river walk. I even worked for Smith Security.
I also bought a paint brush and showed up at Blanco and 1604 and got a job painting houses for 8.50 an hour. Got an apartment and the folks at Good Will got me a job at Ft.Sam painting, and i made 275.00 a week after taxes.
I rented a house, bought a PC and started posting on the www and the rest was history. If my lazy ass can do it anyone can. You notice you never see any Asian homeless? Those rice eating bas s come to America with 25 cents in their pockets they work 3 or more jobs.
So as far as homeless people go? First 30 days, you get my help. After that?
" you" and get a job!!
Some of you need to hear this song. Maybe it will make you think. Listen closely.
Maybe you need to listen?

I agree.
I sometimes give money to people on street corners.
I did so often when my sister was a runaway because I hoped that people would help her as she needed it the same way I was trying to help people.
so you hoped your sister was getting help from people by standing on a street corner asking them for help?
what is up with the guy at 1:07? seems he's a little excited...
I knew my sister was making bad choices and I hoped she would run into good people, who might inspire her come to her senses.
My sister had no money, due to her bad choices - so yes, her situation was completely her fault.
Still as her sister, I always prayed that kind strangers would intervene to keep her from going hungry.
I once offered a bum an unopened bottled water and my leftover skilletini from Carino's.
He gave me a funny look then just walked away.
i gave money to a guy outside of mickey d's to buy a small hamburger (that was his story) and the bas never came inside. another time i gave a guy 5 bucks while i was pumping gas so that he could "get enough gas to make it over the corpus bridge." as soon as i gave him the money, he turned around and got into an f-250 with a dog in the back and drove off. what pissed me off is that i was driving a damn '85 turbodiesel mercedes and making minimum wage.
I once gave this chick money. I am not sure if she was homeless but I know she was asking for money to help pay her way through school.
