Something is wrong with me.

[Necromancer24]

Okay so I was eating dinner with my parents at a chinese restaurant and this woman walks in. She's deaf and she's asking for donations for food and what not. Usually, I just glance at these people and look away. But today, when that woman came around, I started weeping uncontrollably as I reached for my wallet. I must've donated at least a hundred bucks.

If you guys know me well, you'd know I wouldn't ever feel like this. Do any of you feel this way when you see someone who is handicapped, asking for donations?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I didn't know where else to post this.

 

I always feel a little guilty when people ask for donations. I gave half my subway to a homeless guy in my city, but that's the most I've ever donated. I try not to give them any money. The majority of homeless people here would spend money on drugs and alcohol.

Well here you can't buy drugs so I knew the woman wasn't going to blow it . If I see normal people asking for donations, I don't give them anything because I know that they're being exploited by a sindicate.

But when these people are handicapped, it's a different thing entirely. Thanks for sharing Verts

How is it different? The handicapped are more likely to be exploited by a sindicate then a normal person.

Probably. We can never really tell, can we? But the handicapped person can't work for himself/herself. At least you know the normal people can work, but they're lazy, which is why I wouldn't give them a dime.

What's to say these normal people don't have a handicapped relative that they are struggling to support?

I really don't know Verts. I was referring to those people who sit on the five foot way with a tin cup.
If they worked during the day and begged during the night, then that'd be fine, I guess.

Maybe your hitting puberty and your hormones are out of whack.

Don't you hit puberty at 13? I'm almost 16.

It's hard to tell who will put the money to good use. I only donate when I'm pretty sure they're not drug addicts or something.

Survey in london said begging pays decent money as middle-class citizens would go about their 9-5 then go on the streets and pretend to be homeless making more than they do on their day job.

Crazy I know and it's unfair!

She put a curse on you! But seriously, I never donate especially because where I live in the capital there are millions of beggers and half of them have got some type of defect, I'd be bankrupt just walking to the shop and back if I done what you done!

Some blind guy was out side of a grocery store handing out cards, with his dog. I was about to fall to tears (of sadness) when he was handing out cards to nobody (he thought somebody was there.)

I'm the same way. After I see someone like that they get stuck in my head all day.

Don't care. I had the same chance of being born like them.

 

[Angelmax]

I do the same thing occasionally. It's best to buy them food, rather than give them money.

What's wrong with being compassionate? I don't see why that makes you question your mentality; it just makes you a nice person.

I cant stand seeing anybody in need when i know i live in a safe environment. but my parents taught me stuff like, they did it to themselves. or they can collect disability why do they need to take our earned money. I do really feel bad but best thing to do is to look past it

It does not matter if they are handicapped or not, and asking for donations. Always say no, I know it is hard, but say "No sorry, i have no money to spare". I myself am only 15 and allot of people ask for money around my town, and its fairly small. But, no matter what the size, i just say "No, sorry." and walk off, or just stand in a stance that looks farely scarey, so they will run. But when they try to steal from you, its a different story. Its not hard to catch them, but its sad they would resort to that, just for a bit of money for drugs. Anyways, Just ignore them.

But thank god you weren't.
