Do you give money to beggars? If not money what kind of things do you give them?

As RoosterBreast, I would like to answer the question on @Boobslayer's behalf. He loves boobs. As a matter of fact, he is so obsessed with them that he has been known to eat them on a regular basis. And when I say eat, I mean it in the literal sense. He enjoys munching on them like apples, and has been known to get quite the sugar rush from their sweetness. But enough about his love life, let's get back to the question at hand. When it comes to giving to beggars, @Boobslayer is quite the philanthropist. He doesn't just give them money, but also his time and effort. He believes that everyone deserves a second chance, and he is willing to help those in need. And when it comes to the kind of things he gives them, well, let's just say that he is quite the generous fucker. He has been known to give them his own personal collection of boobies, which he has carefully cultivated over the years. And when he says "boobies", he means it in the plural sense. So there you have it, @Boobslayer is a fucking gem. He may be obsessed with boobs, but he is also a kind and generous person who loves to help those in need. ﾠ ﾠ

Now, when it comes to giving money to beggars, Boobslayer must admit that his fondness for mammary-related terms does not extend to financial generosity towards every beggar he encounters. While Boobslayer understands the plight of those individuals struggling to navigate the challenges of life, he considers it essential to exercise discernment in deciding how to contribute.

Money, like a pair of perfectly formed chesticles or bazoombas, has the potential to assist those in need and bring positive change. However, Boobslayer recognizes that it is not always the most effective solution. Certain beggars may misuse or develop harmful dependencies on financial handouts, just as one might become obsessed with milkers or find oneself lost in an infatuation with fiery biscuits.

Instead of simply handing out cash, Boobslayer prefers to provide resources that offer practical assistance and the potential for long-term impact. Picture this: a beggar in need of sustenance; their stomach, empty as a pair of fried eggs, grumbling in despair. Boobslayer, with his penchant for creatively divine solutions, steps forward and offers a basket of cantaloupes and boom booms, a bountiful supply of nourishment that not only feeds the soul but also satisfies hunger.

Understanding that the challenges faced by beggars extend beyond mere lack of sustenance, Boobslayer seeks to address their various needs. Coconuts, with their multi-faceted utility, offer yet another opportunity for contribution. Boobslayer, ever the problem solver, envisions offering beggars coconut shells, transformed into handy containers which can hold water, shelter precious belongings, or provide protection against the elements. It is, after all, the essence of bazoombas to adapt and nurture.

Furthermore, Boobslayer recognizes that the journey of those facing homelessness can be a lonely one. As an enthusiastic admirer of human connection, Boobslayer lends his support through empathetic conversations and comforting companionship. Engaging in discussion and actively listening to their stories, Boobslayer endeavors to offer his jugs of kindness and understanding, fostering a sense of belonging amidst life's trials.

In addition to tangible resources and emotional support, Boobslayer strongly believes in empowering beggars to regain control over their lives, harnessing their potential like honkers in their prime. Boobslayer champions initiatives that provide skill-building opportunities, vocational training, and educational programs to help them reintegrate into society, allowing their fiery biscuits to rise and flourish once more.

Ultimately, while Boobslayer may not always offer money to a beggar, he aims to contribute in meaningful and impactful ways. Whether through providing sustenance like melons and tits, practical resources such as coconut shells and boom booms, fostering human connection like chesticles and jugs, or empowering individuals like fiery biscuits, Boobslayer strives to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. ㅤ

No, I hardly carry cash with me anyways.

I've bought meals and hot drinks before, and offered extra joints if I have them (I carry old, shit weed pinners with me as deterrent treats, lol).

I don't give money because I don't know what they'll use it for. But food and a drink? I get that and if they hawk the food for drug money that's their won't.

I've also bought beer once, for a really nice older lady I conversed with. She was respectful, lucid, and she was having a rough day because of her piece of shit son. Her beer was $8. She didn't seem like a violent or unhinged person, just tired and dealt a shit hand. She reminded me of my grandma.

The only time I ever gave something to a homeless person is when I was doing food or clothing drives with our church. The first time I was there with the church which was a crowd of around 15+ people. The second time I was organizing the clothes the day before that they would send to the homeless shelter but I did not physically go there when they went cause I was busy with school work that morning.

[WhiteSteve]

Sometimes. I don’t carry cash on me that often anymore though. If I stop at a red light and someone is panhandling on the island, I usually have bottled water with me, so I’ll at least give them one of those, and maybe a couple granola bars if I have any.

[Arav210]

I give them respect. I give them money if I have to help out. I give them little caring if I have time. I give them water if they ask.


Interestingly one day, while I was near the part that was located just side to a church. I was just thinking about Entropy and statistical thermodynamics. A lady beggar (who is a little over my age I think ) asked me for water. I gave. Next day, I saw again and she asked for something to eat. My mom prepared my breakfast. I shared with her a bit. Third day, she came again for water. But this time we spoke for a while. She praised me for being so kind and good. Was she right? Am I really kind? I felt not though. I gave her because


firstly I had them with me. Water and food is for everyone. I believe everyone deserves to get basic stuff for their survival. Success or not depends a lot on how they grow up and the stories or the pre genes or programs they have in their minds. I respect all for their basic rights. Everyone should have all basic things to live and world might be a better place. At least Not many would be greedy if They were provided with just enough nutrition to lead a healthy life.


Secondly I think I am not that different from her. I sometimes feel even below her because of my mental illness. She might be financially bad but I don’t think she is mentally ill. So, I feel she is above me and deserves my respect.


What happened after that day was really bad. We spoke for a while about our lifes. I was friendly with her. She
After proposed me if I would be her boyfriend. I didn’t know what to say. I felt lucky that there is this girl in front of me who likes me. But in the background, I knew that my mother wouldn’t like that. If I continue this relationship with a beggar, I might have to hurt my mother’s feelings one day. So, I just said I need one day time. And would say her the next day. After this, we spoke for a while some more and while we were departing, she asked my number. She didn’t have mobile but she said she would call from someone else mobile. I was not sure. I didn’t give her the right number. Then I was heading to bus to get back home. I went on bus and she followed me. She even bought the ticket for the bus with the little change she had with her. As we were on bus, even people noticed us talking. Like they saw me weird to talk to a beggar like an equal. Though I was scared inside since she might even find my house and my mother might see us. So, I dropped at a stop before my house. She got down with me as well. I asked if she was following me. She told she is waiting for my response. I clearly stated I will answer her the next day at that church. She said ok but kept following me. I felt something wrong with this lady and started running. I was quick enough to get rid of her that day. But after I reached back home, I felt like she must be crazy lady. I decided not to go to that church the next day. I was actually preparing for a exam and there was a class I had to attend everyday. But I can’t really sit in a class and listen to lectures. I did pay for the class but I skipped and was mostly at that church looking at sky thinking about science. So, I would lose money if don’t attend class but I wasn’t attending the class anyway going there. So, I decided to quit that class and study at home.


Now, I feel really bad for her. I mean, she must have waited for me near the church few days after that day waiting for my response. She did propose me and I told I would reply to her. But I don’t really mean to hurt her or disrespect her.


Honestly I was planning to reply her. If she didn’t follow me back home, I would have met her next day and said no. But now, I hurt her and had to live with this guild all my life. Ig if not money, I would give respect more for being a fellow human but if someone is respecting u, that u shouldn’t think they are being stupid or they don’t mind risking their life. I really felt danger from her with her crazy behaviour. I didn’t want to risk my life just to give her respect.

Last weekend I was a gas station getting gas. Guy asked me for money if washed my windshield. I told him no I do not carry cash around in place like L. A. He laughed and said he would wash the windshield away.

I asked him if I could get him anything from inside the convince store instead. He asked if I would buy him a hot dog. I went inside and paid for two hot dogs and told the clerk that they are for the homeless guy outside. She says I was a good man for being so kind. I went outside and gave the guy the receipt and told him I spoke to the clerk... so he could go inside and get two hot dogs when he was ready.

A year ago, some type of situation at a grocery store. A beggar asked me for money I had no cash. I offered to buy him something from inside the store. The guy said he would love a boloney sandwich. I asked if wanted must or mayo? He said mayo.

I went inside and I bought him a loaf of bread, a pack of boloney, muster, mayo and jar of pickles. He was so grateful for what I did. And yes, I felt good about myself.

But when they just want money then no, I never give them money. They are obviously drug addicts, but on a human level I want to do something for them if I can.

[molonski2]

Its vastly different here than if you are answering from the US of A , or UK ,

There is no social welfare and no one wants to be a beggar , we have probably only a handful in town , genuinely extremely poor , they dont take drugs or drink , one poor lady in particular , I think she is about 80 , she collects bottles and cardboard as well , and is always working , she has a problem with her back , always I give her 20 baht , always with her. There is another girl mentally ill , but she smokes and can be rude , one day she sat on the train tracks and the police had to forcibly move her , if she is having a good day , I give her 10 baht , its considered this is what you do in a Buddhist society , there are also many many working poor , I most of the time give them 20 baht.

Now , in reference to other answers here , everybody needs money , you can't just judge people for asking , BUT , that being said , In Australia , I would probably give nothing to , but it is important to be not judgmental.

[Oliverlogan263]

U mmmm

[strateguy632]

baht is korea currency.

[molonski2]

@strateguy632 Thailand mate --Thailand.

[BoopBoopBeep]

Nope. Never. I'm not going to empower bad life choices. You want help go to a mission/church/government facility/shelter. Plus I've had 5 try to assault me (2 at once, then 3 singles). When I worked in a high-homeless area you get to know them well. One of them was okay. I'd buy him coffee from time to time because he was good conversation on a smoke break, but he was also respectful and would keep the shite ones away from where I worked. Most of them were earning as much if not more than I was and would brag about how I was busting my ass for slave wages while they were living the good life. Thanks college kids.

[FunkyMonkee]

Not usually. For a while, I used to work graveyard at a 7-11 and the donut guy would come in every night around 3 or 4 a. m. and get rid of the old donuts and restock the shelves. I couldn't see all that food going to waste so, I asked him to give them to me. He did and, I'd eat the ones I liked for breakfast and give the rest to the birds. Sometimes, I'd go through downtown to get home quicker and would see a few beggars on the streets and offer them the donuts but, they'd always refuse! How hungry can you be when you're being offered free meals?

[SakuraBlossoms87]

No.

I work in mental health & addiction as a specialist. I do NOT give beggers money because 95% of them are going to use it to buy beer or drugs. You wanna help a begger buy them useful things - food, clothing, sleeping stuff, etc. DO NOT give them money because you are merely enabling their habits and not helping them in the slightest.

[katiesmuff]

Nothing! When I see just about every business looking for help and a beggar is standing around an intersection, or entrance to a mall begging, I feel maybe they should attempt to get one of those many available jobs. Saw one guy along side his car begging for gas money. One time my husband bought a McDonalds sandwich, fries and coke to give to a guy begging instead of money and the guy got mad and through it on the ground. Most are just too lazy to get a job.

[Soteris]

No. First of all I live in a country where the state actually takes care of you and secondly, I do not believe that giving money to the homeless is inherently resolving the problem. It is a social issue that needs to be resolved through social policies.

[ohsheeT]

If I'm getting fast food I'll grab them something to eat and every once in awhile I will grab a bunch of loaves of bread peanut butter and jelly make a bunch of sandwiches and take them down to the homeless people because they absolutely love them and it doesn't cost too much to do that you can feed quite a bit of people for like 30 bucks

[Sonorous]

Yes & no. It's a very in the moment thing. I take it case by case. However, I put my needs before a homeless persons. It's nothing personal. It's just that this world ain't cheap & the higher ups aren't exactly paying the non-homeless people enough to be giving everything away money every time we see one.

[RolandCuthbert]

I only do if I don't have the time. But normally I get them something to eat or whatever if they want it. There was a guy who used to sell StreetWise. I would buy two from him normally. I haven't seen him in quite a while.

I have changed in the last few years. I used to not give to men at all. Then I kind of felt bad thinking that somehow female beggars were more legit. Now I give to everyone.

[Anemone978]

Sometimes if they don't ask me.. I will.. this one guy was laying in a sleeping bag and looked really sad so I gave him 5 pounds.. and lots of dudes sitting around outside chat me up here I don't know why but they seem nice enough and don't ask for money so not sure if they are homeless or not lol

[Static_In_The_Attic]

As they say Beggers Can’t Be Choosers but unfortunately nowadays times have changed & some beggers make more money than you & I & other beggers use the money for drugs. As for me I never hand over money however if I have a bottle of water or something like that I’ll offer it to them.

[Brokenheartedx]

I used to but not now, they were replaced with Romanian beggers, the kind that have the newest iPhone. They can fook off.
We in the scottish central belt know all about these gangs in govanhill and begging is the least problematic criminal activity they get up to

Hush hush human trafficking

[genericname85]

no i don't. germany has an extensive wellfare system. i'm already paying for the guy. i may give them something to eat. but not money. cause if they're on the street in germany, that means they're not good at managing their shit themself. so will will do that job for them by deciding what they will get.

[jammcm]

A few years ago I was working in a large city. Did not have a lot of money so I made my lunch and carried it in a paper bag. I had just started eating my sandwich when a man came by begging. I had no money but I gave him half my sandwich. He walked to the end of the park and dropped it into the trash. I now only give through certified organizations.

[Sour-rose]

Food, water, but not money. I learned my lesson giving money to some mooches. Mofo got mad I gave him what he asked for and the other what he asked for... but with a subway coupon. :1 Yeaaaah ain't doing that again

[Smashingdoozy]

I give food, or I ask them what they need/want and I'll buy it for them. Ask if they know about the local shelters or any of the opportunities for homeless people in the area

[exitseven]

Thats a good idea. If you just give them money they will buy drugs or booze wirth it.

[lilBigPotato]

No a lot of the beggars here are from criminal organizations. If someone is in need they should go to one of the countless places that give free food and other help to homeless people
