Well, I think everyone who has answered this question so far would agree that nothing is shared out right these days, and that we have a 'duty of care' to one another. I might think I don't have much, but I know other people who have even less. So I give to anyone who asks, and I know I sometimes get ripped off, and that sometimes I give whatever I have and the asker says bluntly 'Is that all you've got?' (never quite sure how to reply except with a simple 'yes'). So yes, I would. When I used the word 'duty' earlier, it may have given the wrong impression - I think the feeling you have is not one of 'duty' being done, but plain simple straightforward compassion The poor you will always have with you ...

Yes I would give someone the clothes off my back - but they would have to be more desperate than me - to even want them - ha ha!!!

I once saw a guy walking barefoot through the city... I don't think I'll ever forget him, I was so shocked that someone could be so poor that they didn't even have shoes... and I wish I had had the courage to immediately take mine off and give them to him, but by the time the idea entered my head, he'd gone...
So, in theory, yes... but in practice/from experience, no... sadly...

Yeah, if someone was naked for some reason I'll give them something to cover themselves up. I've always got a bra and pants on so nobody will see more of me than they would at the beach.

I would if it was a certain one person and he really wanted to see what was underneath them. Other than that I might find some in the drawer, cos I'd get arrested for stripping off in the street.

Someone asked me for my coat once in the town centre when it was raining. Not a frail person and not much older than me
What would you say?
Unless it was a real emergency of course not!
