    Do you give bums money?

    I was wondering how many people actually give bums money these days. I need a new PC for ff14 and I could put some time on the street.

    Serious question, do you and how often do you give money to the bums w/ the signs at the street light?

    Way I think is that they can easily clean up and get themselves a job, no?

    So no sympathy for me. Maybe because i'm a cold person.

    Never to the people with signs at the streetlight, I just think that's an awkward place to talk to people I don't know.

    Occasionally the change if I'm leaving a Walgreens and have like $.40 left.

    Nope.

    I read this whole thing about how people are faking being homeless and drawing in over 90 grand a year just by begging everyday.

    Also the ones who really are homeless are probably homeless due to drugs/alcohol, just gonna spend the money on Beer/crack.

    The last time I gave anything to a homeless man was when I was 16, I gave him a subway sandwich and he bitched me out because he would have rather had the money.

    Fuck that, brah.

    It's not even a fucking tax deduction! Give to a charity, feel good, and benefit - the true American way.

    Well, shit, I wouldn't mind a free lunch, either, but that's not going to get me a new PC
