The last time I gave $$ to some begger was some beggar with a little baby. I was waiting for my wife at a train station and this woman came up to my car asking for money to buy her son juice. I really could not say I had no $$ because my money clip was in plain site on the seat next to me...plus I felt bad for the kid. SO I gave the lady $5 and she actually complained because she also needed cigarettes. The beotch hussled me out of another $5 because I knew if I didn't give her any more cash she would buy her cigarettes and screw her kid out of juice. So now I am no longer compasionate to any of them, and when they ask for money I tell them I only have credit cards and if they can accept them I would gladly give to em...they always go away with the funnies looks on their faces.
