Ok I will give a little coin here and there depending on how I feel at the time, but the problem sometimes with telling them to get a job is that without a permanent address they won't hire a person.

I was on the streets for a while a bunch of years back but I never begged for money. I looked for a job but was living out of a shelter and no one would hire me because I used that as my address.

I am not defending them but I also judge them on a case by case basis rather than making the blanket statement that they are lazy. I met afew people on the street that held full degrees bur they also drove themselves there because pf various circumstances.

Case by case I decide who I give change to but not all the time do I give and never am I rude about it....kharma plays back at you for these things and I like to even out my chances as best I can.
