do you give change to hobos? tell me your reason?

Question

I don't

Answer 1

Robert F Kennedy once said, "As long as there is plenty, poverty is evil."

Answer 2

I'm not going to say whether or not I do or do not; It isn't relevant. I believe good deeds are publicity stunts if you're going to go around telling everyone about them. But If I did, I'd give them whole bills, or talk to them a while about their aspirations or dreams for themselves, and see if I couldn't do something about them. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish.. and you know the rest. I'd like to think that everyone else in the world has this kind of compassion as well. The giver, the receiver, and the audience involved of an act of kindness all get seratonin boosts that aid their immune system.

Answer 3

once time I gave a dozen bagels to a hobo that lived in AZ. at the starting up he became pi**ed, then 2 weeks later I said him lower back and he had an indication that said "please supply bagels." I laughed so not problem-free I fantastically a lot wrecked the vehicle. i presumed if I gave him bagels he ought to get the idea to end begging and bypass to a preserve. (there are particularly some in Phoenix.) for sure it DID help him particularly because he ended up on the info and presently after that he became a professional signal holder. those adult males in AZ receives a fee minimum salary to carry signs and indications for shops, and they rather get into scuffles to vie for the most proper nook. often I dont have surely substitute on me, so no, I wouldnt supply any away.

Answer 4

Whenever they ask if I have some extra change that I can spare, I always say yes....and continue walking. Of course he looks up with his hand held open. Even the poor man has an expectation of what the world owes him.

Answer 5

I always give money. Once I even gave my bus money. Why? "There but for the grace of God go I". I haven't walked in their shoes, and have no idea of what put them on the streets. I only know that they are in pain, regardless of what they spend the money for. I make no judgments, as I would like for others to do for me.

Answer 6

I don't give them money, because some of them will just go and buy alcohol. It's not a good idea to feed this habit. I'd give homeless people food, however.

Answer 7

If they say they are hungry, I will buy them food....but I will not give money. I am a healthcare provider and I see addiction all the time. I will help those who need.....but I won't encourage a habit.

Answer 8

I haven't heard the term, "hobo" for years. I will buy them food or offer them work.

Answer 9

I do because I would rather feel good about myself and take the possibility that they are lying than feel like an anus and not give it to soemone who really needed it.

Answer 10

Nope just feeding the habbit.
