Generosity

[bturville]

Plus i felt sorry for the guy.

I always have to keep in mind whether or not they will be spending it scoring their next hit. I have heard different people on the trains on many occasions talking about how much money they managed to get in a day, and the gear they spent it on. My money is NOT going on that shit. If I notice they are wearing half decent clothes or watch/whatever, I'll be a bit more cautious.

I'd rather give my money to a Big Issue vendor (LES!) who stands outside all day trying to earn a bit of money, then some potentially dodgy beggar.

OMG, I feel so sorry for those people. ... There is this one in the city I always see, who seems to have a mental disorder, and I just felt like giving him some money. :S (I think he is always in front of Myer?)

Keep the money and keep walking

If I gave it to him/her, someone would just take it.

A blind beggar... surely he'd b on a disability pension of some sort?

I would b suspicious 2 b honest, for the reasons bturville said.

If I had some way of knowing that he was genuine, then I wouldn't hesitate 2 give him the whole $100 and help him go buy some essentials with it so he didn't get ripped off.

You know, people on VN don't take polls seriously...

...if you put 'use the $100 to buy all the Krispy Kremes you can' as a option or 'prostitute droodles', just watch the results come in.

This was more of a hypothetical situation

Is the society so bad that they would steal from a blind beggar? I mean I've heard of American youths douse bums in petrol and set them on fire but I'm not sure about the Australian society.

Can I please add "prostitute droodles" to the poll, pleasepleaseplease

I'd like to think that:
1) I'm a decent judge of character and I'd be able to tell if the beggar was genuine; and
2) I'd give him the money, because I know that I'd just spend it on coffee, Boost and makeup >_>

But in reality I think I'd probably just give him like $20 or something and keep the rest for myself

Yeah sure why not Do whatever you want with it while you're at it.

Was sitting in the train the other day and saw a disabled man just sitting there on those wheelchairs. He had a paper attached to his wheelchair, so i read it, it said something along the lines of 'Hello my name is Johnie, I wish everyone a happy christmas. Would you please supprt me and some charity(cant remember the name) and buy a chubba chup for 85 cents each'. I felt sorry for the poor man and remembered that i had one dollar left in my bag. So i gave him the dollar and let him keep the change. When i got home i ate the chuba chop(well i was biting it) and the filling my dentist just put for my teeth the day before got stuffed and its killing now...

If i didnt feel sorry for the guy this would of neve happened, yeh Merry Christmas to u2.
