just give him a 20 and let him b .....but he is normal...he is just lower class

[misoshiru]

I'd give him a bag of chips instead of money.

i agree. if he wants to buy food, then give him food. btw, learn to type.

[latinprep12]

yeah me too...me and my friends gave hobo's money in newyork a few times i seen them by alcohol instead of food...which i think is dumb of them to do...but i remeber i paid for a hobo i saw once in front of mcdonalds...i got them a breakfast delux..and wow was she happy

[xscore]

i usually give them a couple hundred.
i'm a very sympathetic person.
but you know, you can always tell which ones are the ones who are just out to buy some crack. it's pretty obvious. to me at least.

but if there's an old disabled man sitting on the side of a building trying to keep warm...how can anyone not have the heart to help him out.

i remember once, my brother bought some mcdonald's for some homeless man, and in response, the man threw the soda into my bro's face. i was like...

"Give a man a fish and he has food for a day, teach a man to fish and he will have food everday for the rest of his life."

I don't know who the quote is by, but it shows my opinion of what to do with hobos.

i use to give the homeless like two to three quarters (nyc has a LOT of hobos) but then my guy friends kept trying to get me to stop. they said that the money would probably go to drugs/drinks and that the hobos were lazii bums who wouldn't get jobs.

however, the homeless in china are so different. i visited like three years ago and the bridge near my house had a hobo with all his arms and legs cut off. =/

^in europe they would probably be getting a thousand bucks a month from the government.

Instead they're in china where they worry every second of the day when they're going to die and when they're gonna have their next meal.

new york does not have a lot of hobos sometimes i walk around expecting them but i never see any. i haven't seen any in a long time.

i'm careful about giving them money beause i try to see if they're legit. usually i don't give anything to people who beg. once, during my boyfriend's lunchbreak (i was with him), we saw this homeless man all by himself drinking out of this 2 liter bottle of cheap soda. it really upset me because that's probably all he could afford...so we got him lunch. i never saw him again though

i'd much rather give them or buy them food than just giving them money because then i'll know where my money is going.

[angel-roh]

Well if I was rich like Paris Hilton, yeah I would give. But in this low income of mine, no. I just give them my leftover changes or a dollar. I used to give to the people who asks for it in the street, but not anymore. I only gave to the people who are blind, can't walk, has one eye, lost an arm. Anything like that.... I would definetly gave money to them of course.

But hobos are really scary........... some can rape you or kidnap you. I remember hearing news in Utah when this girl got kidnapped by a hobo. And she was a little girl, around 4 years old? I don't know. This was a long time ago news, so yeah.

I once got attacked by a drunken hobo. But I didn't bleed. Good thing for that. But it attacked me!!!! He sure was crazy guy... I hated him so much. That was the only time I hated him for being a dumbass hobo.

[Aoiro]

'Course I would.
But it would depend on what the reason they became a hobo.

[haleakala1]

Why are you talking like hobos are a completely different species? They're just people who made very bad decisions earlier in their life.

true.

[yukichan]

I wouldn't give him anything..
Why? Because how do you know he's not going to use it for drugs or alcohol?
Or if you are going to give him something, give him something like food..

yes thats what i said i remeber my dad always going to a corner store in newyork every morning to get a cup of coffee and a bagel, and there was thing hobo always asking for money to buy food well my dad will give him a few dollars here and there, well he sorta didnt buy food he got alcohol behind my dads back and back then i didnt know or realize what the hobo was doing to his life, but if i see a hobo i will give him food not money

[demolished]

OK, it's been more than 3 days. Does he still comes to you ?

[heyyeh]

there are a lot of fakers around where i live. theres this one guy that everyone knows is rich, but he gets up everyday and begs for money from visitors. so just to be sure, some people acctually give him food.

you can never be too sure though

[jue]

who came up with the word hobo; jsut a random fact.

i dont know cause sometimes alot of the homeless they jsut use the money we give them on drugs and stuff. So its just a waste giving it to the ones that really dont need it. For some of them it was there own fault. The ones that take drugs ; they had money given to them to buy a meal but they use it on drugs. but then there are the others that really do need this money. I dont give much. someties when i have chnage left over i give that to them.
