People asking for money

if u KNOW 100% that the person is genuine & not an addict/alcoholic etc, then help him
after helping him, give him some advice about collecting scrap metal



the sad part is most genuine poor people, have some sense of pride & dont like to advertise their poverty
so u might be knowing the person but still not know their financial situation.


and the addicts/alcoholics- they have no shame, they get out there & try every trick in the book to get our sympathy
so most of those advertising their poverty- most are not genuine & not deserving of anything other than a kick up the arse.

thats my opinion- maybe u guys see things differently

If I had the money I would have gave him something-not up to me to judge,that will be done later.
