SmiIe wrote I give money to the homeless, sometimes. Because there are people who really are in need of the money, and even if they would spend it on drugs. Let them have some money , so they don't rob or steal from someone because they are desperate.
But, that's what I think.
Do you give money to the homeless?
Why or why not?

Personally I will never ever give them money, especially if I walk by the same guy everyday, then he will assume i'll give him money every time.

no because they get enough, then spend it on smoking. not saying all of them do, but the ones local to me do. most of them are not even tramps, they pretend to be them just to get money

That's called being "Selfish." You should think about others more than just about yourself.

TIL if I don't give money away that I need for bills, I'm selfish.

I always give if I have the money at the time

When I went to China with my Dad, we were talking about giving some money to this homeless guy when our tour guide told us not to. That man was the richest in the whole city, simply pretending to be poor! Of course this isn't all cases, but it was pretty interesting. She said he makes very good money doing that.

I forget what she called him, but there is a name given to people like that. He rolls in some serious coin.

I think it's better to give them clothing or food.

I some times do and some times don't, it depends on how much money I have at that moment.

I don't necessarily agree with giving money to the homeless, but on occasion I have bought food for many homeless people before.
