when you see people who are obviously poor, for example wearing raggedy clothes and things like that. do you look down on them or judge them? do you even notice or think about the fact that you have more money? basically what do people who are financialy "comfortable" think when they in counter someone who is not?

No. I really don't think any more about them than I would the rich bastard pulling up in his Jaguar. If I saw a cute girl at Walgreens paying for cigarettes and Mountain Dew with $9 in change, I might offer to buy her a cup of coffee though.

I use to work in a downtown area that had a lot of homeless. Since there were bars around the corner it was a likely spot for them to come and try to make a few dollars. I got to know a lot of them because I was standing on the curb quite a bit at night. First off, you shouldnt feel sad for most of them. Typically they have chosen to live that way, and suprisingly most of them are happy. If you were to stop and actually just talk with the guy, you would find out that hes doing ok. He just has to work harder for his cash. And never look down upon them. Ive found that some homeless are more in tune with reality then a lot of people I know. So next time someone asks you for money, slap a twenty on them and tell them to take it easy for a night with a beer and a burger, dont look down on them, and be a pal.

I never look down on anyone. I believe everyone does what they can with what they have. I am by no means rich, but I am above average. I sometimes shop with everyday clothes that might look raggedy but I'm not poor.

I am vary comfortable financially I have poor friends that I socialize with and I will and do help those who Will help them selves, I do not give to homeless people because most of them are there by choice, being poor dose not make you a bad person, if you see your self as a victim or poor me attitude then I'm not interested in giving, when I meet a poor person with a positive attitude I will go out of my way to help him or her.

I do not look down on nor judge anyone. I usually feel very sad for people less fortunate, and you can never tell what their story is--we are all only one job away from being in the same place.

I don't look down on poor people. I've been there myself. I could be there again one day considering the nature of the world and the economy.

I do not make assumptions about the poor. It is not my place to judge the less fortunate, because I do not know the facts, but it is my place to help them.

I don't judge anyone. I don't know the situation they are in or why they are there. I am just happy for who I am and what I have. If I can help anyone with anything I always do.
