I think you did a good thing. Your intentions were good, and that is what matters.

Humble lurker said: You show yourself up writing that.
Just because someones homeless you assume they are an asshole and addicted to drugs. 
I think thats disgusting.
Even if he is on drugs, so fucking what? Don't say you don't do any. Your on a drug site!
I feel compassion for all human beings.
I often speak to the homeless and I found many of them are really nice genuine people that have low esteem or bad things happen and they give up the struggle.
fuck that. so what if he's on drugs? if he/she is addicted to crack then that is WHY they are homeless. it's not anyone elses fault, it's not societies fault, it's their own fault. they are homeless because they are weak willed losers who cannot do anything but squander all their money on crack. they can fuck off if you ask me.
i will only help real homeless people who need the money. i'm not helping the asshole who comes up to me high as hell on crack talking about how he needs money for bus fare. he's lying right to my face and he can kiss my ass.
i've given these people money before for the longest time and i refuse to do it anymore. i've become pretty good at judging the non-crackhead homeless people from the crackheads so i just pick and choose wisely. i have no problem at all telling someone that i know is just going to waste all the money he gets on crack to remember my face and never ask me again because he will never ever get a dime from me.
you make it sound like it's your responsibility to give street druggies money because you have it better than they do. that's insane! it's their choice to be out there. besides if you really want to help people that deserve help then volunteer for a soup kitchen of habitat for humanity.
your disgust towards someone who refuses to give crack heads money disgust me.

regardless of what he spent it on, it was still a nice thing to do. especially since he wasnt asking for it in the first place. i have to laugh when i see all the strung out junkies walking around with gas cans... like you really have a car man. get real.

ive had a few ask me for some money, and when questioned on the intent of the cash they were honest and told me beer/crack/meth what ever... the fact they didnt try to come at me with some lame bullshit was enough to help em out.

I agree.Who cares what they spend it on.I usually turn down people with the big elaborate stories about being a preacher with a busted fan belt.But an honest bum will usually get a dollar from me.
Its just money.Are they lazy,drug addicted moochers?Maybe.Are they human?Yes

azurite said: seems the ones who could really use some help or friendship are never seen panhandling. i know i would rather die in a ditch alone than spend all day scamming people. these are two different classes of homelessness.
It is the good ones, the ones that are most deserving of charity... They are the ones that are too proud to ask for a handout.
I've been there before and fortunately I've always had a roof to live under. But beleive it, I would never be on the street rooting for money. I would rather starve in the woods.
Call it pride, call it standards. Like I said, the ones most deserving are too good to swindle change from strangers.

Homeless usually go it with a partner, and maybe this guy was making his way back to basecamp or something, but.... he is an idiot to be out in the cold like that, prolly did it just waiting for your $20
I hope you or anyone close to you never experience homelessness, thats some fucked up shit to say. You cant tar everyone with the same brush punk
