No. It's more productive to give to charity.

Not if they ask for it. I have given some money to those who I know can use it, but they won't beg for it. I used to have to go to the LA Airport every night on my job. And every night there was a guy standing at the freeway off ramp with a broken fan belt telling those waiting at the light that it just broke on his car, and he can't leave until it's replaced. Whenever I saw somebody go to give him money I would tell them that he's out there every night with the same BS story. It got to the point that if he saw me, he would wait til I was gone before begging again. I then started squirting him with pepper spray that I kept concealed so nobody could see what I was doing.

After being told that some of them use all the money they are given to buy alcohol and drugs, I don't give them money, just things like McDonald's coupons so I know that I've actually helped them.

It's really more helpful just to donate to a shelter... you're not benefiting them directly but it's still helping a lot.

if i have any change, which i usually don't, i give it away. my son-in-law gives out job applications and buy one, get one free coupons.

last week a guy on a cell phone, that was way better than mine, asked me for a dollar. i had to laugh.

and, i saw some gutterpunks who actually had a mommy who drove up in a bmw, and gave them take-out food. i heard her tell them to be home by midnight. blahahahahaha. pseudo gutterpunks...now i've seen it all!!!!!
