Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
They will just spend the money on Alchohal anyways. And I gave some spare change before.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
I give them food, not money. Therefore, they cannot buy any sort of drugs. Only eat what you gave them.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
Once when I was 16 I gave a homeless man in a train station some money to buy me and my friends some alcohol and promised more if he actually came back with it. He made at least 20 bucks off of me.
And I do tend to give beggars a dollar here and there.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
One time I just gave them drugs. I had to ditch it because my friend said the cops were coming so I went under a bridge and let them fight for it. Although, I felt bad so I gave them some food with it. No sense in making a starved person that much hungrier.

I've given a hobo $5 AUS, few coins, and a bottled soft drink.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
If you see someone asking for money to pay for food, then offer to go buy him/her some. If food is truly what he/she needs, they will accept it.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
hobos still exist?
I was in Washington D.C. a few months back, and a homeless person was waiting for donations. He got bored, put his Dunkin' Donuts cup behind him, and took out a few beers and some cigarettes. I left. When I was in Shanghai, China, there was a homeless person sleeping on the sidewalk so I put 100 yuan in his hand.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
Yes I have. He had an honest sign that read "I won't lie, I'll use the money for beer and/or ciggarettes" it made me laugh so I gave him a couple of dollars. The ones that I hate are the "Feel sorry for me" ones.
Like "Can't find a job. Have 12 kids, 7 dogs, 4 cats, 2 fish, and a wife to feed." That's a little over the top, but you get my drift. Those people, in my opinion, are just too lazy to get off their butt and get a real job. And yes, they can if they really wanted to. I knew someone who had a jail record and got a job at jamba juice w/o anyones' help.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
Somewhere in Europe I tried to give a few Duetschmarks to a homeless guy but my parents wouldn't let me and I felt absolutely terrible that they wouldn't let me help someone. (I was like 8)

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
I usually give money to the homeless people that personally walk up and address my friends and I, especially if we get funny excuses. For example, "Hey man, can I borrow a few dollars? I've got 100 cows in Ohio and...I just need some money."
Also, outside of a burger place, "Man I love these burgers can I borrow a few dollars to get one of these burgers? Thanks guys, these burgers are the greatest." Then he casually walks off in the opposite direction. |

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
I saw a hobo in downtown Burbank once, he asked me if I could spare him some change, but I didn't have any on me. But, I wouldn't have given him any anyway =/

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
2 actually:
The 1st one took my dollar happily. I didn't exactly give the 2nd one money, but offered him my sandwich and as I was walking away he threw it back at me.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
I saw a bunch of hobos in Salem (Oregon) once. They were all just sittin' by the G.I. Joe's when we drove by and I pulled my sister's headphones out and I'm like "Whoa... look... hobos!", and she's like "Whoa... look... hobos!"
Oh, and I'd definitely rather die than eat out of the trash or sit under a building while it's -10 outside. I'd just find some way to get myself killed as quickly and as painlessly as possible. So in a way, I sort of agree with Cloud0005, just not in such a "Who gives a sh*t about the less fortunate?" kind of way.

Re: Have you ever given a hobo money?
I used to gives hobos in front of church quarters in secret. But that was when I was a much better Christian.
