i drove a truck and saw tons of panhandlers and some out and out scam artists.
As somebody said, helping out an old timer is ok and I'll help out a so called kid, but as far as people much over 20 or not real old, screw em all. a 18 year old or so there is some hope for he/she might have actually made a one time mistake and will recover from it in most cases, people much over that are making a career out of being victims, so screw them.
