i used to, the most i ever gave was $5. then i added up one day how much i gave that month and it was disgusting. I was a poor college student at the time voluunteering in soup kitchens and running around feeding the homeless and I came to the realization that giving them money perpetuates the problem while simply talking to them and treating them like human beings is one step closer to a solution.

No. You may as well just buy them booze or drugs. This guy is always on a corner near my apartment holding a sign saying "I need money for food" (and if he can spend all day in one spot why not get a job?) so I bought him a sandwich in the Subway across the street from his spot and he threw it at me! (the six inch would have hurt less.)
They are on the street due to their life choices, there's plenty of help for them in the cities if they want to make a change.

F a whole lot of that S*** they need to get off their butts, and get a job, and if they say they can't they are full of it because you can easily go to McDonald's or something like that I mean when are they not hiring. And it gets yoru foot in the door for better opportunities.
