I would say 90% of the time I ignore them but the other 10% I give them a small amount of money, no more than a few bux tops

headset: I like how you make it clear that alcoholics are not drug addicts. Congratulations at continuing the unfair way drug addicts are viewed.  :thumbup:


obviously thats not how i feel, and dont put words in my mouth.

In my experiences, a wino just minds his own business, and a cracked out tweaker will come after you screaming.

if someone respects me and my community, im down with sharing a beer off a 6 pack, to them, its like being a kid at christmas.



Plenty of stories of alcohol and murders. Some dudes shooting their entire families. Winos just minding their own business.

If you give alcoholic bums beers then I should be able to give them small rocks of H and crack if i see them hurting. its just a small hit its like being a kid on christmas.

Highly altruistic and commendable. I really hope you don't actually say that to homeless people. Unless you can vomit coins.

I did this recently. Actually it was a burger though. I work in downtown and stopped by a McDonalds to take a piss, and a homeless dude asked if I could loan him a few so he could get something eat. Instead I just said I'd buy him burger. He also asked for a cigarette so I gave him like 5 of mine.

I felt for the dude because it was a really cold and rainy day.

This sounds terrible, but depends where I am. If I'm in a place where a lot of people are known to do hard drugs, I don't hand them anything and just tell them I don't have cash. You can tell which ones are addicts because of the damage the drugs do. Don't get me wrong, I give when the time is appropriate and I don't give money. Some people take advantage.

I give them money because a dollar to a starving person is nothing to me and the world to them. Or just give them food.  Man up. Help out.


Change comes from within?  If my house had just burnt down or my kids just died and I lost it and was on the streets and you told me that.......jesus.  Change comes from within? I just can't get over how immature and simply rude that is.

I'm glad someone sees it. Saying meaningless Deepak Chopra sounding shit to someone who sleeps in the street is not good.

It depends on the situation, where I'm at, if it's shady.. If I have some extra money I'll give it, especially if the bum is in real bad shape.

Sometimes it just doesn't feel right and I won't. But I don't mind giving when I can. What goes around comes around you know..

I have very limited exposure to this excerpt when I lived in Georgia for a year. There was this one fellow who would sit a block from where I was staying that would just chill and play guitar and sing all day. I went and jammed with him a few times. He waned to split his $ I refused and he bought me a coffee anyway. Besides that I usually give what I can spare after I talk to them for a bit. If they are not sociable they get nothing.

Where I live now, homeless die in the winter so they just don't come this far north into the desolate woods.

i was standing outside KFC last night, eating a sandwich, and this black homless lady walks up to me and said: "exuse me, sir, do you have any change to feed the hungry and homless", and i told her no, and walked away


You've sufficiently made me hungry for some KFC.


So 10 1/2 years later he managed to make you hungry?  Talk about bumping a long dead thread!

I read my decade-old response to this thread.  In the time since then I have hardened my opinion even more on the homeless.  The recession in the economy has swelled the homeless population quite a bit, but the folks who have added to it are mostly lazy fucks who are younger and healthier than me.  And many of these pieces of shit have learned that they can make a better living off the bleeding hearts of people who actually care about others than they can working.  A lot of these guys have mastered the art of looking the part and they play the role well.  They have great sob stories that are very convincing.  But so many times in recent years I have caught these fuckers in lies or seen them walk off from their street corner down the block to a parked car that is nicer than the one I drive.

I'm not saying there aren't people who need help, because there are.  But giving money to a random guy is not helping anyone.  Give to charities, volunteer at a shelter, and if you want to help anyone directly make sure you have vetted them thoroughly first.  Because if you give money to the wrong guy not only are you wasting your money on some piece of shit, but you are taking that money away from someone who really needs help.  If you hand a random stranger a dollar and think you've done well you're deluding yourself.
