i gave a dollar to a homeless'ish couple thursday (a) so they'd stop following me, and (b) we were outside vagabond.

I used to give em, but no more. Just watch South Park, the Homeless episode.

I occasionally buy a copy of the big issue of a guy who stands out in all weathers, making only £1 of each copy he sells. He's very polite even to those who shun him and well worth the change. He's especially funny at xmas when people irish up his coffees.

I give the homeless people money when I have it because Im not cheep.
You never know there life history and one day you could be on top and the next day you could be on the bottom.

I do it as a good deed, they can smoke it or drink it I dont care what ever makes them happy....

I do it for the love of techno and trance......

I remember once I was in Bristol, think I was about 16 at the time. Went in to get a breakfast from McDonalds and there was a homeless guy sat outside, must have been about -5oC outside. So I bought an extra one and took it to him, he was so fucking happy, seriously a hot meal and coffee really made his day.

The horrible thing was walking back inside and all the dirty looks I got from other people, and whispered comments of "He shouldn't have done that"; like I was feeding a dog scraps off the table. It made me feel so sick how heartless some people can be.

If your paying them, it should be the other way around

only one homeless dude i give a buck to once in a while. always sits in the same place, day and night by a starbucks and subways reading books and listening to talk shows on a portable mini radio. he's actually a pretty cool guy

i've had both positive and negative experiences giving to panhandlers/beggars. recently, they've been more negative.

late one night, after a party at ruby skye and then being at a nearby diner, was walking back to hotel with some friends and we were accosted by a bum. it was late, i was tired, and didn't want to deal with it. my friend gave him a few singles and then less than a minute later we saw the guy pull his BLACKBERRY out of his pocket to return to a conversation.

even more recently, some friends and i were heading down to atlantic city for a friends bday. my friend wanted to pick up some drogas and we were waiting for this dude to sell us the stuff outside the bar he worked at. obviously a kind of sketchy situation in a sketchy town. suddenly this wildly overweight black lady knocks on the window and gave us a sob story about her car running out of gas and needing money for gas to get home. we didn't believe a fuckin' word she said, but wanted her to go away from the god damn car so we could do our business and leave. my friend gave her a 5. she walked across the street into the bar, instantly...........

i think the most fulfilling experience for me with a bum took place about a year ago. 2 friends and i were at a ralphs, buying 40s to play edward-40-hands. we saw a bum outside who we recognized as being there often. i bought an extra 40 just in case he said anything. sure enough - "you guys got any spare change?" -"don't have any money man, sorry. but i have an extra 40 if you want it" that motha fucka was so happy. he took it and started walking away, grinning from ear to ear as though to say "mission accomplished"

If they make me laugh I usually give them some change.
