Should you give money to people begging on the streets?
Should you give money to people begging on the streets?
I really want an answer to this from people who are not reddit-brained libs. I have seen some good points elsewhere about this contributing to a cycle of abuse and control, causing parents to withdraw their kids from school to beg instead, etc., but if someone is desperate enough to humiliate themselves by begging on the street, shouldn't we give to them? Or should I feel bad that I did give to them?

Oh come now; surely you can at least donate a heavy helping of saliva.Don't do this; as the person replying to me pointed out, you'd more than likely get innocent people doing this.
lots of homeless people steal valor to either get more donations or because of mental health issues. Please be normal and don't go around spitting on homeless people or joking about that wtf
Ah, I hadn't considered that; I assumed actual veterans and didn't think about this.
