organized charities I have issue with as well. Rather find a bunch of out of luck people and give them the money...

As if nightrain gives more value than $1 of real charity to good cause.
Better give that 20$ to some struggling family etc instead of encouraging drunktard leechers.

so the guys who have chosen a life on the streets to be by themselves doesn't want to join a stranger for dinner? Odd..

they probably think your sandwich will follow up with a bj request.

because they only do that due to the 'encouragement'

Best not to encourage it, else a whole generation will aspire to be homeless wino bums as they know they can get free drink money

no feel free to give to "drunktard leechers" HERE

(Domain was bought in 2003 as a joke.. Not actually looking for handouts here)

I know I joked about it but really good job helping out Juicy! Even if he does buy booze with it chances are he will also treat himself to the dollar menu at MCD and that shit will kill you faster than booze.

Who said they ONLY do that for that? It is PART of the whole picture. There would definitely be less begging of people did not gave them money. That is a fact.

There's been a HUGE increase in the number of people standing at on and off ramps with signs asking for money.

Funny thing is, it's ALWAYS white people. I've never seen a black guy begging for money in the city I live in.

I have no idea what you are talking about with this.

yes agreed, it's a fact. And a whole lot more crime

Regardless of trying to do the whole of society a favour by eradicating begging, if I see some guy who made some shitty decisions because he truly didn't know any better, rather than some kind of mission to end up a homeless wino bum, sure I'll give that guy a few bucks, and if he uses it to escape for a few hours by buying booze or drugs, he can have at it.

I've also taken homeless people I've seen a pizza, sandwich, cup of coffee/tea etc if they've been close to somewhere like that. But please don't tell me I'm somehow encouraging their drunkenness/spaced out time just by having some empathy and saying here, get fucked out of your mind for a few hours and forget about how much you fucked up your life through a series of decisions that led you to arrive at this point in time.

Hopefully though nobody else sees those acts, and gets the idea in their head of what an easy time of it they'll have by becoming substance-addicted and foregoing sanitation, shelter, and food - we can't have that kind of encouragement going on

This is very true. But more recently I have seen a lot of white females as well.

I don't talk about the good deeds I do because I don't need to attention whore for pats on the back for my "good deed of the day"

I am doing OK again now but still trying to to a point where I am comfortable and can travel, drive nice cars, and have a really nice home.
Anyway I was filling up my truck with gas this afternoon and I heard some guy moaning. I noticed it was a guy holding a sign on the side of the road. I watched him for a while and nobody was giving him any money.
So I could not get your post out of my head and wanted to do something nice for him. I also wondered if he would just spend it on beer. I walked over to him and talked to him for a bit. He said he hardly ever drank and that he was disabled. I gave him some money and told him that someone inspired me to do something nice for someone today. I also gave him some pointers on how to make more money. I told him to stop moaning because that just scares people away. I told him to just wave and smile if possible and I was positive he would make way more money. Then I asked him if he would let me take a pic. I turned his sign around and wrote something on it for you would know you helped out another guy on the other side of the country. "Dave" thanks you. And before I left I gave him a hug. He was very thankful, I think it had been a while since he was hugged. I did not smell any alcohol on him so I think he was telling the truth. I photoshoped some sunglasses on him to protect his identity.
I challege the resident GFY social justice warriors to go out and hug a homeless guy and make him feel loved.

I'm fb friends with Dave. Nice guy. https://www.fb.com/people/Homlez-Dave/100004808503728
