I love you....will you marry me? :P

hahahahahah that was brilliant

Grrr...someone who is actually starving would be greatful to be given food. If they give you a death stare you know they're fakes or just out for booze or drugs. If you really want to help the needy, always give food, not cash.

All these responses and not a single person addressed that this man might have some sort of mental problems that lead to unsociable behavior? Or that perhaps you, too, would be slightly rude and snappy if your life had come to the point where you were begging on the streets for money? Instead, it's all the same line of how the homeless must all be drug addicts or faking. I'm sorry to disappoint, but I have volunteered at a rehabilitation center for the less fortunate. Yes, we had drug addicts. Also, people that had mental/behavioral problems and had simply been abandoned by their families, people that had grown up on the street and didn't have access to other options, and more than a handful of runaway teenagers escaping from poor situations to find themselves in worse (and, in the very, very bad cases - better) places. Most of the drug addicts I know have the means to afford health care to help subsidize those pills they pop. Of course, I now work in an upper class area and I suppose the fact that at twenty five their parents still give them an allowance of $250 a week PLUS they had the advantage of an amazing school system PLUS the social network and support to get a job, find a place to live, and generally just succeed in life despite doing very little makes them better than those mistreated and forgotten by society. Of course, I see it so clearly now. I'm not saying that you have to give money to every individual you come across that asks. I don't always, especially being a young female - I'm smart enough not to take out and flash around money when I'm alone or at night. I know that people on the street do lie and use money for things we might deem as "unnecessary". I also know that I am fortunate enough to be in a position where I can afford a certain level of humanity, even when I can't (or simply won't) financially give anything. I'm saying that, seeing as you had the advantage in the situation, would it have been so terrible to have been polite even in the face of rudeness? (Actually, while what you did made me cringe, you could have been having a bad day, a bad moment, any number of things. No one is always polite and sympathetic, we're simply human. It's more the level of disdain and ignorance in the comments that upsets me.)

stab him. it's not like anyone will miss his worthless ass.

YDI for talking to a homeless person. You should've just walked away.
