A fiver for a squeegee??  :lol:

It was extortion rather than begging, you had to face them down..........which was bloody irritating when driving through suburban London which is misery anyway.

I've never seen a professor sleeping on a grate covered in newspaper.

Only if they're caught fucking their 19 year old students.  Their delicious, soft-skinned yet hard-bodied, unwrinkled and incredibly flexible 19 year old students that smell soooo good.

Your post arouses me.

Over the years I have been able to identify the usual scammers from the folks that are genuinely desperate.  I often see the scammers.  I rarely see the later folks as they have to be very desperate to come out and ask for money.  There are a couple of folks I have gotten to know over the years.  I have already told some stories about them and I wont repeat them here.  most times when I see them they just say hi.  Occasionally they will ask for money and I give it to them.

Only the truly moronic give money to beggars. In Stockholm there are beggars everywhere. Most of them are Eastern European gypsy career beggars. The rest are addicts and nutjobs.

I think giving to homeless people that are there primarily because of they have mental health issues and they have, for some reason, slipped between the cracks, is a very good reason to help them out.

And helping them out means giving them cash? lol

Dont worry Brain.  If I saw you with no shoes, no socks, and it was clear you hadnt eaten probably in days, I wouldnt give you any money. :)

Good. I find it extremely unlikely that if I end up like that I have even basic money management skills. I'd much rather you give to the Salvation Army or similar so they can provide real aid to me.

No, but if he's shoeless, his soles probably do.  ;)

From what I recall, this is illegal to do in Chicago. Someone was giving food to homeless people with poison in it.

I'm fairly sure that poisoning people is illegal almost everywhere.


:D
