    If a homeless man came up to you on the street and asked you for $2, are you likely to give it to him?

    I rarely carry bills that small, but given the situation, depending one the homeless person and his/her attitude would decided whether or not they get anything.

    I'm usually pretty generous about giving to the less fortunate. The welfare state has failed a lot of people, and many homeless are mentally ill. They need all the help they can get. [​IMG]

  13. depends, if he is working the veteran angle, hell no, if he's working handicapped or pet, or smoking, well there is any number of things that could keep me from giving to a homeless man.....

    Bums are everywhere in Houston, so this happens on a daily basis. I rarely give them anything nowadays, but I used to hand out money. When I did, it was usually no more than a dollar.

    Some of their stories are great. One guy told me that he had to get money for a shitload of fix a flat, so he could fix his tire and drive to the hospital to visit his sick son who was also in a coma. Suffice it to say, he was lying, so he got nothing.

    Yeah, i do... its one of my compulsions to be charitable... in many ways i have it really good so it feels right.

    Hell one night i had a taxi ride that cost $10 and i tipped the driver an additional $20.

    I like to give to my friends mostly though, buying food or drinks or whatever.
