Maybe when people have experiences like that it changes their views and behavior? Maybe once you see their flat screen TV and game system, you then become a bit wiser in how you give.
I have a spare bedroom that has housed many a person who was down on their luck. People with nowhere to go for various reasons - divorce, just got out of prison, whatever. Mostly alcoholics and drug addicts who are trying to get better. Giving is important to me, and just as important is giving in a way that will actually help, so if I hear of a guy just out of prison who is going to the day labor place while he looks for steady work I'd rather help him than the guy who is doing dope and not trying to do any better. In once case I'm helping someone improve their life. In other, I'm helping them stay in a fucked up life.
Last night I did a fundraiser for Scotty's House, an organization that helps abused kids and their families, mainly victims of sexual abuse. I know my efforts there are helping those who need it, rather than buying another bottle of whiskey for the abuser to get drunk and do it again. Last weekend it was an event for acoloholics trying to sober up, all weekend. What did Porno Jew the leftist do last night?
