Am I an ahole for giving just pennies to the homeless people instead of giving them all my silver change? My dad gave a homeless person a beer once. What's your thoughts?

I have given homeless ppl alot of things besides money to see how they react.

A j gets a grin
I feel for them....

Depends on how in feeling.
A dolla, some change ain't a big deal.
Neither is some food.
I had this one homeless person asking for change and they had on the penny 2s after they just retroed
they got nothing

I won't give them anything. Sometimes they tell me **** but I don't give no *****. They need to get some damn jobs.

A lot of them suffer from mental disorders, in particular schizophrenia. It's tough when they don't take their meds. I feel for them but at the same time I have kids to take care of. Some well off homeless guy asked me for a dollar the other day and I told him I'm sorry bro but I got kids to take care of, I'm broke I don't have much money to spare. I was being honest.

Elderly & mentally/physically disabled, I will spare change.
Young and healthy, they can ******g work for money just like I do.
But, I am not obligated to give money to anyone if I don't want to, and that's hard for some of them to understand. Though, for the most part, I find them to be to be the most humble yet grieve stricken individuals I come across so I give change away on a regular basis. I can't stand people who treat them like vermin.

I always told myself if I get hard on my luck I'm going to panhandle. It's tax free money if the IRS don't come after you. You'd be amazed how many people do spare a dollar here, .25 there. It all adds up.

Sometimes I'll buy them food if I see the same person regularly on some street corner and/or freeway exit. But mainly if they're old and/or disabled.
If they're young, sorry buddy but you should be utilizing your youth for money.

Depends. Anyone who has lived in a city kinda gets desensitized to the homeless. In college in philly id be asked for change about 2 times a day from a homeless person. So i just got used to saying "sorry man dont' have any" or just ignoring them and still walking. Between the homeless and the kids who "need money for their football/basketball team" i just gave nothing to anybody no matter what
bring back the wait period
jk op you cool
but the wait period should come back
no jk.....

My mom always told me to give a homeless person money whenever I had it. That money that I would spend on nonsense could be used to better someones life. I always given them money when they ask even if I only have larger bills. I pay no mind to the "Theyre using it on drugs and etc etc etc" talk, I cant let that affect me.

I've had bad experiences with giving food/drinks to the less fortunate....once coming out of a football game we had a suite, and had a whole extra pizza that was untouched and dude came up to us and asked if he could have a slice...then we just gave him the whole box and then he was like "Oh nah y'all couldn't get pepperoni?" and just threw it on the ground...had me like 
. Also in the subway station at home, a dude came up to me in McDonalds bugging me for some food, then took my damn fry box and started emptying it into a bag...Then once in Toronto I gave a dude 2 bucks and he complained that I didn't "give him enough". Some of them come off wrong to me, like rudely ordering you to give them stuff...but even still usually if they're polite and have manners I have no problem giving them a buck or two if I have it on me...thing is I really only use cards so its rare I don't have to say "sorry man, I dont have any bills or change"
