I don't give money, regardless of the story. 100 miles can be arranged without money if need be, we're not unfriendly. Someone who is in trouble can always be helped - sit down, I'll make a sandwich and pour some coffee Smile | :)

Would you hand him cash, knowing that you can probably kiss it goodbye?
What he/she spends it on is not my concern. Five euro's for a beggar (if they don't ask) is not something I'll be missing hard. I'm also not interested enough to demand they only use it on sea-weed or some comparable crap.

If it is an actual drug-user, then there's even more chance to a conversation; being someone who gets a lot from his pillpusher I find it quite amusing. It also gives them a chance to tell their story, and you'll find that is often a lot more complexer than "I want booze".

..next to that;

"And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food."

Seems like you want to feed them, if they just had not been "junkies" Big Grin | :-D
