Unholy_Holywarrior yep...had that happen more than once with the scumbags around here. Now they don't get a damn thing.

I just had some woman and her loser son ask me for gas money at the gas station so they could "get home". I told them to open the fuel door and id put a gallon in. After consulting with her son for a moment she refused asd gave me some bs story about that having bit her in the ass before. Lol, wtf? Just a lame cover story cause they wanted cash.

im sorry to hear that, i had a similar story, i was driving cross country and passing through new mexico, i saw one of them holding a sign that he was hungry, as i exited highway. after getting gas, i bought him 2 egg mcmuffins as well as 2 for me. i approached him, was polite, and he literally threw the bag of food back through my truck window after i bought him a 7 dollar breakfast. now if i see people like that at someones window, the second the light turns green, i hold down the horn. fuggem

Ya, i'm not surprised. My policy is no cash. I will help someone out through products and services but no cash.

I lived in San Francisco a while back. The city is filled with people trying to scam cash from tourists and anyone that will listen. One guy came up to me two nights in a row with the same bs story. After I called him out on it he said "oh" and walked away. There are other ways to give just don't hand out cash.

What if they were disabled, then they were not homeless for not showing up? If your homeless it is good to be cautious of scammers looking for free labor. I know how much people like to Target the homeless. Get them to work for a day or two then don't pay them. What are they going to do? Not like the homeless have the money to sue them.

I bought food for someone and he rejected it. My girlfriend gave him a verbal lashing and made him take it. Lucky bastard got a free meal on my dime.

The city wide helping organizations are the problems. The organizations know who is homeless and who isn't, they need to stop handing food or shelters to people that can work, but don't want to work. They need to evaluate those people and make them known , so they don't crowd our streets. so, these organizations need to pick these people and wrap them up into a building, where they are forced to work in different fields of industries. Like everyone else is forced to work , live and pay taxes. This is pretty much how most Americans work, we are forced to work, or we will be starved. And won't have a roof over our head. What we do everyday, isn't really a volunteer life style. In a way, it's forced on us.

I actually have a slightly better ending to my story. We passed a guy with a sign "Hungry and homeless, please help", just sitting there quietly on the street, not bothering anybody at all. We went to a nearby shop and bought him some food, took it over to him. He said thank you so much, and smiled at us. We walked back that way about 5 minutes later and he had gone. We spent the afternoon in town that day and we didn't see him anywhere, and we literally covered the whole town's shopping streets during that time. It does help you feel that perhaps not everyone is a con artist at least.

Charities are the worst I drove a semi for good will for $5.oo hrs the president of the company made $500000.00 a yr.and had mentally handicapped people working at the plants for minimum wage the law was only 10% had to go to the people who needed it the rest went to administrative costs now it's been changed to 5% and in the case of Hanoi jane that witch stole every penny of the 800000.00 she conned that's evil but she always has been I could be bias but then I have good reason to be I am a Vietnam vet.

@@MindlessTube the government doesn't just give you $2000 a month where did you get that from.?

I once had a guy approach me as I walked into a subway (sandwiches) saying he is starving and needed food. I ate only half of my footlong sub so I could give him half and 2 cookies. He said "God bless you sir" and I got back in my car. I watched him. He took the bag to another person loitering about 50ft away and handed it to him. In exchange, the other man handed him a small tied up baggy containing white powder. That did it for me.

I had a guy tell me his car was broken down nearby and it needed a new brake master cylinder. What the hell was I supposed to do about that? Tow him with my Fiesta? Give him $500 to hire a mechanic? It seemed evident he wasn't going to fix it himself, and I sure wasn't going to work on his car.

How did you make it 4 years on the street with no money?

@@taffykins2745 fyi "homeless" does not necessarily mean on the streets. For both good and bad reasons, the numbers are almost always manipulated. At least until the shut downs (alegedly bc of a flu - more manipulation btw) it was common to find temp work opportunities, which can be total win-wins btw. The biggest cost to live in the western US at least is radically over-inflated rents (3-5x the actual worth of the space). For some, temp work and living outside without confiscatory rent is the only way to save a little and have a wee bit of freedom (the thing that made America great). Only an ever harder to obtain opportunity to earn big bucks provides a way to break out of a slave-like existence. The numbers of folks barely surviving month by month (with not much of a life) barely paying the rent, etc. is way too high and growing to an impending disaster. The phoneys out there only make matters worse. I call it STOLEN COMPASSION, not unlike Stolen Valor. I'm also an honorable Veteran and I hate such phoneys, either kind, but I do remind myself that God knows what to do with them after this short life. They will not get God's compassion then.

@@semperintrepidus16 Yes, I suppose you are right. I took it to mean panhandlers without a place to live except under-a-bush homeless. Temp work or day labor is a good idea. Win-win!

how did you escape homelessness?

@@nickb1156 I was former homeless. My parents kicked me out randomly, with 0 support, at age 18. So I got a job doing labor work, and then I bought a cheap car and a $20 gym membership. And I used the gym to shower and dress decently before I applied for jobs. Then I got a job at McDonalds, then at Macy’s, then doing door to door sales, then to a car dealership. Now I own a remodeling company that grossed over $1.3 million last year. When I was homeless it was hard. I slept outside at first, in winter and sometimes I thought I would die from the cold. Then when I was able to save up for a car I quickly realized how beneficial work and skills were to my own existence. Former homeless people are honestly the hardest workers, I believe. At least people who were kicked out by their parents. It was a jolt to my system and a big wake-up call Of course, I do have a 147 IQ. So it makes sense that I would succeed despite being homeless. I can see how less intelligent people might be less successful under such circumstances, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that fundamentally, hard work is better than panhandling

Question for you then, how do you really help the homeless then?

@@TOXICSHARK35 The way to escape homelessness is to give them a simple choice: work, or starve. People that choose to work, will earn valuable skills, and gain a higher income overtime. Those who refuse to work will die out, and it’s for the best as their genetics are weak and flawed.

@@TOXICSHARK35 To elaborate- The way to give them that choice is to remove any sort of long term social safety net. No welfare longer than 2 months, no food stamps longer than 3 months, and no rules forcing landlords to give rent for free (which is crazy). Instead, food stamp places should have “now hiring” ads placed in them with an address and phone number, for homeless people to call or walk in for a job. And if homeless people refuse to try, then they deserve starvation. That is the cold 100% truth my dude

Also your taking their earning time away from them. While off eating with you, they could be earning another $20 panhandling.

Most homeless people don't have the required documents

The problem is many homeless people do have jobs. Maybe not them but for example my mother had a full time job even while we were living in a TENT but the pay was so pathetic we couldn't even afford to live in our trailer, the bank foreclosed it.

Panhandling is a protected speech under the first amendment of the constitution, most towns and cities that make it illegal, are breaking the law themselves, laws banning panhandling are in themselves, Illegal. No one can take the right of free speech on a public way if is done non aggressively. Without the U.S. constitution, no one would have the right to do anything.

I worked 120 hours every 2 weeks for 20 years , and my husband did the same ! so we could have house and paid for in 20 years , worked in the hospital and nursing home . We were 40 years when we came to America and had two teenagers. Our kids went to University, With hard working we own our house so now that we are retired we can live on our SS money and didn’t need help from anybody . If we , with limited language can do it ? Don’t you think American can do it better ? Just have to want to work😏

@@haydehabdolahian7691 I work full time and save half my income so I can retire EARLY. I absolutely fucking hate working though. I like panhandlers because they've decided "fuck the man" instead. So screw this "want to work" nonsense. No one wants to work. They're paid to work.

it’s sad because he’s right

Well thats the thing. Not everyone wants to bust their ass for this slave system. Why should they if they don't want to. People are in this world to live life, not waste it away on working everyday forever. If the government wasn't so greedy, people wouldn't have to do that. So you like working? Great. Not everybody does. But that make you a better person? A stronger person? No. This economy is bullshit and you know it. Its designed to make people suffer

If everyone had that attitude then we would all starve. This is defective and unacceptable behavior.

One time a guy told me he needed a buck to take the bus to his 7/11 job across town on time, he was running late, it was his first day, he's gonna get fired, he can't believe this, etc. I gave him 2 bucks, then he says he can't go to work because he needs 5 bucks for a day pass to get home again. I give him 5 bucks. _"God bless you, I can't believe this. You're good people. Etc "_ About 1 year later, in that same area as last time, he tries the same damn story on me again, except now he's got a janitorial job at a hospital. I say "you know you've given me this story before, right?" The balls on this dude. He straight up tried to pretend it was just his bad luck, but if I could just give him 20 dollars, he could get to work all week. He had the balls to ask not for 5, but for 20! I worked the night shift, and was coming off of work, so I got nothing to do, so I say OK, you know what. I'll DRIVE YOU. I'm not gonna put you on a bus, I will drive you MYSELF. Long story short he refused to be driven across town to his fake job, unless I gave him 20 dollars(not happening). He at first said he needed the cash to get to work which is all he cared about, then REFUSED to be driven there because he'd have no way home, then when I offered him a ride and 5 bucks to get back, he tried to insist on 20, but tried to weasel into getting the money first. Bullshit. I told him he was full of it, and he rolled his eyes. I drove off, and he went on prowling for suckers. Some of these people are legitimately insane or need help. Some are just parasites. One guy in that same area was always there pushing a cart of cans. He didn't speak good English and was always drunk and telling jokes to himself, but he never asked anyone for anything. He just went through the trash collecting recycling and never left a mess. I gave him a burger once and he looked happy as a child.

Haha weeb

I became very ill, working a low pay wage slave job. I got my self esteem back when I went to the welfare office and a very nice caseworker helped me to fill out the paper work. I felt even better when my check arrived the following week. I had my first good nights sleep in over a year and I began to gradually recover from the effects of working a job that I hated.

Don't speak for everyone. Some people might want or need help. Especially if they have no one. Is it bad to want that?

I bought a croissant and a cup of coffee from Starbucks and then gave them to a homeless guy (didn't want to give money as you mention). Then saw him throw away the croissant as soon as he walked away.

jewbacca 007 lol, not likely...old bernie would tax them at 90% on their panhandling "earnings".

ROTAXD lol

jewbacca 007 Since Bernie loves socialism and equality so much he should give these people 1 of his 3 houses. It's only fair right!

phdfxwg Fischercat he wouldn't eat it until after he'd made sure all the silver or gold teeth were out of the corpse & in his pocket along with any jewelery the corpse happened to be wearing.

jewbacca 007 lol

It's hard to know who's actually homeless so I don't give money to anybody

Yes! It is those who pretend to be homeless who make it very difficult for us who sincerely care to help the legitimately homeless. I have encountered many hypocrite "homeless" who benefit most generously from the unsuspecting. In my city, there is a woman who borrows a paraplegic's wheelchair for $20 a day and after positioning herself in city center with an empty KFC container in hand, often brings home as much as $300 a day. Tax-free. And more than I earn a day from my work. Other pseudo-homeless I have encountered were in need of winter clothes and footwear and personal care items only to soon sell everything - new items of very good quality, I want to add - that I had purchased for them. Until such times as there is a method to identify who is legitimately homeless, it is the pseudo-homeless who continue to make it very difficult for us who sincerely care to be of help and comfort to those in need.

@@masterofpuppets5072 Yes. I agree.

@@Esmeralda-gt6uf I don't give money if they are truly homeless they will take the food I will buy them dinner

@@masterofpuppets5072 Yes, this is a very good test.

It’s not that they’re used to it, it’s that it pays better than hard work. In the richest country in the world , this shouldn’t be the case.

Yeah you got that right and that's where they're all headed to causing a normal taxpayer all kinds of money the leeches of society.......

Fuck off

The Lord takes care of me. Don’t you know whoever tries to save his own life shall lose it and whoever gives his life for the Lord shall have it. If you take care of yourself in the way you say, you’re saying to put your will above Gods, you’ll never go to heaven with such a mindset

Ivy Mossgarden unfortunately you don’t know He gave us free will to choose Him and get eternal life or party now and pay the price later. I literally do nothing but serve the Lord and He provides!

Help should be family first, then community if needed (non-profits, etc). The State doesn't have the perspective to step in, it can only give money.

Yep. That's why these live off the government programs need to be defunded. Humans are the only ones who keep and support dead weight in the pack. Were our own downfall. A false sense of compassion over realism. If you have a problem in your area donate locally either money or time to a charity that speaks to you.

No kidding! But tell a lefty that.

BINGO!

Government is the biggest enabler of them all

i know right! cuz we know her situation, we know for a fact its her house and not someone elses thats making her sleep on the laundry room floor and locks her out on the drop of a dime. Right? because with human situations and relationships its always black and white and crystal clear as to what everyones situation is theres never nuance when talking about humans! its perfectly well and good and righteous to sit atop our golden pedastals on the internet and look down upon those of which we only assume based on a 5 sec video clip.

Oh, you can

Don't give them money, just give them food, so the fakers can't buy stuff like a new iPhone with food while actual homeless people are glad they have food

But if you see those who do live in tents by the roadside, they are indeed homeless and some charity from you will be great. This is humanity.

@@ohyekrokites6539 there are some that I kinda know they are but what I mean is. If I see the stub or if 100% know they are then I dont mind. Life is tough enough like that as it is. I couldn't do that

@@zedmelor8842 but they chose that life though. Homelessness is supposed to be something that people shouldn't try to be. But unfortunately people are trying to be homeless now. Thats the real world. I dont do charity for them. But its not charity. Its a handout.

Really lol?

claɪre an asshole for giving out food?

@claɪre What food do you give out?

@claɪre but would you rather have a coconut or no coconut?

amazing idea
