humans, as with any living creature are selfish by nature. every need we have is a selfish need and most of our actions and behaviors serve only to feed those selfish needs.
giving money to homeless people is a selfish behavior. its a hallow, meaningless, "feel good" action that allows one to clear their conscience for the day, to feel better about themselves, to tell themselves they aren't quite the prick people think they are or whatever.
you can't help a homeless person by giving him 2.00. that is evidenced by the fact that they will be there the next day and the next and the next.
"homeless" is a symptom.. not the problem. you can only make yourself feel good for a few minutes. nothing more.
enabling a homeless person by giving them money is arguably one of the cruelest things one human being could do to another.
