How many of you give money...?

Question

to the beggers?

Answer 1

here in Glasgow we have a good thing, you buy tokens from various outlets, they cost £1. you give the token to a beggar and they take it to a shelter, it gets them a warm meal and a change of clothes, it means you know your money is actually helping someone in need, even if they sell it for 50p to another beggar, someone who needs it will end up using it

Answer 2

I've only ever seen one begger and I didn't give him money because I was really young and had no money. It was in sydney, australia.

Answer 3

I do but they have to be a bit scruffy looking to me cause we have too many people out there who are on social assistance & looking for money

Answer 4

one time a man walked up to me and said im not gonna lie i want to get a 40 but im 50 cents short and i said since you didnt lie i gave him a dollar

Answer 5

i do sometimes. im torn about it because i think on one 1 hand they will go buy booze or drugs, but on the other hand i feel that once ive made the decision to give to them its their decision as to how they use it. no strings attached.

Answer 6

There are very few where I am here in the sticks, but I have given to charities.

Answer 7

if you were begging then yes for sure but otherwise no i give to charities for the homeless though. i think that if you give to beggars you are only helping to feed their drug and alcohol addiction

Answer 8

On occasion

Answer 9

Sometimes.

Answer 10

I do, all the time.
