Homeless people

I never give money to the homeless, but food and any sanitary items I may have with me upon meeting one. Giving them money, could turn to a double edged sword, as they may use it for drugs, etc.
The only way I'd give money to the homeless, is if it were obvious that they're not drug addicts. Which is something you can almost always tell when it comes to these people. Regardless, I always try to help.

I was harassed once by a homeless man because I refused to give him money. I never was one for giving money to beggars, and he just cemented that belief. I recall reading that a good number of homeless are made homeless through their own actions. Violence, drug addiction, etc. Of course not all are like that, but it's better to be safe.

Not saying all homeless people are like that, but a good number of them are and a good number of them simply don't want food or drinks. They want cold hard cash for other reasons they're not willing to advertise because they know we wouldn't give them money if their cardboard signs read: "Help! Need cash for meth addiction and alcoholism."
