haha...pretty funny...
but maybe some homeless are scared of donated food because some people could spit in it or even poison it...
The Alamo Heights Fire Department still does that....I don't mind donating for that, but over here by the airport/281/Jones Maltsberger/Bitters area...there are people here EVERYDAY.
I'll never forget one day my mom saw this guy at 410 & McCullough begging for money with a sign that said he was hungry....so my mom went and got him some food and went back. When she tried to give it to him, he told her he didn't want the food he wanted the money....so my mom told him to go himself. And yes, she dropped the F-Bomb. Damn, that pissed her off.

No, he was a total asshole to her....which tells me that he wasn't looking for money to buy FOOD.
Only time I've ever given to a begger was when one walked up to me and said 'Look, I'm not going to lie to you. I want $5 for booze.'
I gave him $5 and the laugh was worth the price.
I'm suprised no one else caught this.......
On a third offense, beggars could be jailed or fined.
ha ha ha take away his shopping cartI'm suprised no one else caught this.......
Back to topic. I could see from the business owner/mgt perspective how I would feel if I had beggars right outside my store or office. It doesn't look good for business because subconsciouly, people will either avoid the store or the store's image would hurt.
On the other hand, from a personal standpoint, I don't think they should make panhandling completely illegal. If a person wants/needs to beg for money on the streets--that his/her perogative, just like it's my perogative to give or not give him/her money.
I personally prefer to give beggars some food instead of money. Like, I'd go buy them a sandwich or bag of chips or soda or something and give that instead of money--because who knows what they'll spend that on (probably cigarettes).
I think its funny I tell you what you do, I tell you what you're going to do, and you do it.
So, since you know my life, want to write my biography? Want to start with my name?
You mean you're name isn't Manny God?
I'm not going to take the jokes that could come from your last comment.

I think Duff should start panhandling so he can pay me back.

d'oh!!!
nahh that would require work and blow his whole "teenage angst (although I'm in my 20's)" thingI think Duff should start panhandling so he can pay me back.
Duff's hoping you'll forget.
I don't give panhandlers anything. (And I'm rarely downtown) Since I live and die by the almighty debit card, I never have cash anyway. And I was extremely happy that Target banned the Salvation Army from their entrance at Christmas time.
Heartless? Maybe so. But I have a one way ticket to anyway.

I'm sure you have 2-3 others, but who cares..
So you don't know my life. Damn, I was hoping you'd be able to write my biography for me.
you said, start with your name.. that is your name.
You don't like the Salvation Army?
born a poor mexican, picked some cotton, lived in the projects.. no dad around... mom raised you. you're a momma's boy... now you're henpecked bc you never had a father around to show you how to be a man... now, you post your idealistic, but unrealistic views here day and night.. still a poor mexican... that is about it..
In Manny's defense, that could be the life story of any minority!
henpecked and posting idealistic views? i think not...In Manny's defense, that could be the life story of any minority!
for a dime a day
and a place to stay
theyd turn those hands to labor
I don't like being bombarded every time I walk into Target or any other place by someone asking for money. Just like I don't like people ringing my doorbell trying to sell me something.
Unless it's candy or GS cookies, Go Away!
