Question: Survey!.!.!.do you give money to the homeless!?
and if not!.!.!.why not!?Www@Enter-QA@Com


Answers:
Sure!.
I'm not rich, but I can afford to give them a few bucks!.
I don't care what they do with it, either!. Most of these people are mentally ill!.

It's a classic illustration of the old saying "There but for the grace of god go I"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I used to but too many people that aren't homeless work the streets in London !. White , Black , brown what ever !. Real homeless people and chancers that live in flats and work the streets because it's just to easy to mug people off !. I used to get the Big Issue of Smurf in the old days when it was supposed to be about helping homeless people !. I read it once , I've seen **** written by five year olds that made more sense !. Now a family of Albanians take it in turns to leave the council flat I can't get and try to mug people off out side my local shop !. I give them nothing , no one does anymore !. The aid thing is the real people that need help don't get it because too many chancers have been allowed to take the piss !.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I deal with the homeless every week!. I started out volunteering at a homeless shelter and saw all types!. Men who had jobs, just no home!. Women who had been left sitting with nothing when the men left them and their children, people who had lost their jobs and couldn't afford rent!.!.!. the list is long!. So many are not bums and need a caring person to just help them out!.
I now volunteer at a womens and childrens abuse shelter!. All are homeless, of course!. They are learning how to stand up for themselves and take care of themselves and their children!.
Money helps, but I feel they also need someone to take the time to be there and care!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No!. Homeless people in the US that are physically and mentally capable of working do not deserve to free load off of us!.

I watched a video about this, and there was a man who owned a soup kitchen that had a gigantic binder full of available jobs for these people!.
Not a surprise that very few of them ever actually apply for the jobs!.

One of the homeless men on a corner of a street in the video was interviewed, and he was quoted saying "That scumbag, he only gave me a twenty"!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

No, I will go out of my way to get them some food!. Last week I saw a homeless fella outside the mall and I asked him if he was hungry and he said yes!. I went in to Olga's Kitchen (and they were so nice!) and ordered him a few sandwiches and fries with a couple bottles of water!. I was going to pay for it but the manager at the counter wouldn't allow me to!. I was really moved by their compassion!. I told them what I wanted it for and she said that with all the food that is wasted every day, a comped meal is perfectly appropriate for someone in need!. I almost cried! He was so grateful and thanked us profusely!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I don't give away money to the homeless, because I don't have money (I'm a minor) but I do visit this website regularly:

If I can afford to yes!. I really think that as a society we ought to do more for homeless people!. I know it isnt as simple as put people who live rough in a flat and they are sorted, but the state should treat them better!. Homelessness and living on the street can happen to most of us given a terrible freak set of circumstances or a decline in our mental health etc!. People living rough are humans not animals they could be someones children or parents or siblings and as decent human beings we should treat them with respect and try and assist them if possible:Www@Enter-QA@Com

No!. I think that there are so many opportunities in this country, you could at least try SOMEthing!.!.!.!.
That may sound insensitive, but I really feel that with so many organizations out there that help people, there should be no reason to ever end up homeless!. You could get on HUD or you could volunteer somewhere for free room and board, etc!. etc!. etc!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

i would donate to a homeless shelter, or a charity, but giving a homeless person on the street money!.!.!. i dont think so!.

what i dont get is how all these people are claiming to be homeless, but they can aford to pay for internet services!.!.!.!. doesnt make sense to meWww@Enter-QA@Com

yea there is this one exit that gets off on the west side and i always hook this guy up at the red light!. i'll give him a few bucks one day and once i gave him some mcdonanlds i bought cuz i always buy too much and once i gave the guy a rest of a 12 pack!. his name is jim he's cool i feel bad for the guyWww@Enter-QA@Com

I would probably give them a dollar or two, maybe some change, but my parents don't believe in doing that!. They think you should just keep walking, and not make eye contact!.!.so, as bad as I feel, thats what I do!.
But, we do donate to foundations for the poor anyway, so, its like helping, just, not right out of our pocket on the street!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

Yes,I do,and I always have,there is a homeless guy near the shops where I go,and I always give him some of my change,Iv'e been homeless myself so I know exactly what it feels like,(and don't ever judge,you never know when it could happen to you)!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

I see people losing there jobs and homes, one day it could be me!. Of coarse I help them in any and every way I could!. It's a hard road up for them!. And to any that wouldn't help remember Karma and hope it doesn't happen to you!.

~~Peace~~Www@Enter-QA@Com
