I don't give them money, but its not because I'm worried about what they'd do with it. If I give you something, its yours and you can do whatever you want with it. I don't give them money because if I need money, I find a way to make t without begging, and they could too. They just choose to sit around and scope out "suckers"

I've helped people way too much when I was fucked up on drugs, it can impair your decision making to whether they're manipulating you or if they really need it. The last time I was on heroin this dude kept me company and helped me put flyers up. He asked for 7$ so I gave him the money in dollar coins as well as a meal I made in 5 minutes.

Keep in mind how drugs affect your decision making, doesn't seem you fucked up too badly. :smile:

If they're going to express all extra money to the purchase of addictive drugs. Some people, the more money they get, the more drugs they do.

This very thing was shown on Drugs Inc. Someone going up to people at a gas station and collecting money to buy heroin.

Busking is giving people a service for free and asking for donations if you enjoy it.  Panhandling is just asking people for money for doing nothing.  At least dance or tell a funny story to try and earn a living.  If someone can make me laugh I will give them $1, and I have.  Funny homeless people can do well, drunks love to laugh.


The $100 a day is just a # I pulled out of my ass.  I knew someone that used to beg in a mall near me and made like $140 average a day.  Not bad money, but its a pathetic way to live.

That's unreliable, nonsensical, and degrading.


Sometimes people genuinely need money. :shrug:

The part that gets me was OP was buying heroin too. If you're buying heroin who are you to judge someone for possibly buying heroin with money you give them? and if you're already addicted to it wouldnt it be a lot more helpful to your well being than a cheeseburger?

The thing is, if they get an excess of money, they may go from a relatively minor habit to a major habit.

It can only be so bad when you're supporting it on money that you get by begging.

No it isn't. What I meant is that they may get an excess of money on occasion and they'll do more and experience an upsurge in their habit and they'll be in for a rude awakening when they run out.
