Yes. There is always a possibility they'll spend it on drugs but regardless people need money to eat. If they don't have insurance no kind of hospital will help them (for long). Like there is no other form of help for these people so they'll either OD or pull through eventually. Or if i have food i'll just share it and most of the time they are very thankful.

No.. You will often do more harm with an open palm, then a clinched fist

What happened to the other thread?

Affronter May 31 @ 3:52pm

Nope. I’ve bought them food/coffee and given clothes/footwear

Nope. In our country there is system for poor, so no need.

I explained homeless economics and mentioned cornerbots again, so the cornerbot running the forum just deleted it.

I guess none of you has the personal willpower to talk back to me like an adult, so you have to delete stuff. "I'M NOT THE TANTRUM BABY YOU ARE!!!"

Yes, I give money to homeless people. I also buy them food, facial razors, shaving cream, etc. and I tell them about places that are currently hiring if I know of any.

I don't care if they spend it on alcohol or Heroin or prostitutes, as long as they aren't hurting anyone.

edit: There is nothing wrong with bringing shampoo/body wash to the swimming pool and showering there. I give them money so they can make their own decision: buy hygiene products or buy substances. They deserve autonomy and I hope they can get clean.

Either way, I more or less replied to you that we're in agreement, especially on your last sentence about how not all homeless should be judged on those merits.

WTH, it seemed like we were having a civil discussion there.

I give money to street musicians, but I doubt they're homeless (don't see homeless people around, even though I've read there are some, mainly by choice).
