Question:
Lol, today I was on the train right,
so this girl gets on with a box of M&Ms, so I'm guessing Oh she is selling it for her B-ball team or something
But she was dressed in mad Baby Fat, brand new hairdo, crisp Jordans, nails done.
So she goes Oh I am not selling this for a school or anything, I just need the money so can you buy a bag?
Now I was gonna buy one, but I was like She all jiggy I was like please, plus the bags were like 2$
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Im not paying more than a dollar for M&Ms unless it's a movie theater, but later I felt cheap
because I usually give the money, but I thought she was joking.
But my sis gets mad whenever I give them money because sometimes they are full of BS,
but I always put myself in that position.
like this crazy deaf man who gives out these papers, he wasnt even deaf cuz my cousin popped gum mad loud
and he got scared, lol caught him.
But he actually hit my friend cuz she didnt take the papere, she just laughed.
I would have beat him.
Answer:
no, I feel bad sometimes...
but even people who are really homeless usually only use the money to support drug or alchohol addictions...
That girl would have annoyed me.

Answer:
No I don't. It's usually because I'm not the one carrying the cash, but my parents and they don't give to the poor. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
Answer:
mostly i don't. they could be pretending that they are beggers _ that's what happened here. in the news, a few years ago, they found a woman who was a beggar but was actually not.
Answer:
I dunno the deaf guy, I live on the Island and we get lots of kids just asking for money for nice clothing! They bother you at your house!

Hahah, I remember seeing that lady and knew right away that she's fraud.
Anyways, I give them money; giving food and drinks sound good on paper but it really isn't.
Answer:
no, I always walk away from them or look the other way
Answer:
I don't give them money unless they're street performers.
Homeless people scare me... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sleep.gif)
Answer:
No, cause I saw a guy give one of the money and the homeless guy pulled out a knife and threatened to kill him if he didn't hand over more.
Answer:
I did give a guy .50 cents once because he was doing impersonations of famous people for money (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)
he was pretty good too, I dont know if he was homeless? but he is always in the same spot with a sign that says he will do impersonations for .50 cents....
Answer:
No because I don't trust them. One of my friends had a burger thrown back to her.
Answer:
i don't give them money. you're not supposed to.
if they really need help, they'll go to shelters.
oh, but i do give money to the guys who sell papers.
i ASSUME they're hired by the houston chronicle...
because how else would they get those huge stacks? o_o
most of the time if i see them asking for money to buy food,
and it's near a restaurant, i'll tell them i'll buy them some food,
but they need to tell me what they want from the menu.
it's hilarious how some of them are like oh, um, nevermind.
YEAAAH.
Answer:
I just go ahead and give them money. I'd just like to think that they would use the money for a good cause.
And about the shelter things, I'm not sure about the whole story, but most shelters aren't what they seem to be. I remember it was a really harsh winter, and there would be people on the streets that would NOT go into shelters because of some shady situations.
To people with money, it may seem that shelters are the simple solutions for the homeless, but they aren't.
