I would’ve given the wizard some money. At least he’s honest. Hell, I probably would have taken him to a pub & hung out for a little while. Some homeless are really interesting people who are just a little down on thier luck and probably have a few stories to tell.

While there are many homeless persons that have fallen on hard times and really do have a desire to get back on their own two feet, a large number have mental disabilities that makes it very difficult to maintain a stable job. I’ve done many hours volunteering in soup kitchens and so many of the people that I’ve served really want to work - it’s just the matter of finding a job, especially in this miserable recession.

Just don’t judge so quickly. You can never know what another’s situation is.

Once, while in Vancouver, my friends and I had a homeless guy ask “Money for marijuana research?”

We all got a good chuckle….

C’mon now… Homeless people CHOOSE to be homeless?.. I’ll admit that in some cases this may be true, but once there and they realise how crappy a position they’re in, and how hard it is to make even a few bucks sitting in the street it becomes harder and harder to get a job. If you were the boss at a McD’s and you saw a dirty smelly bum in the street with a funny sign, you’re telling me you’d hire him?… I doubt anyone’s sincere ‘yes’ answer on this one, because they’re as disgusted by the idea as most of the posters on this one. I for one pass a buck to the honest ones who admit it’s for liquor, and hope they can come away from the streets with as much pride as the ones in the pics are demonstrating right here.

Ok in my opinion homeless people choose to be homeless. They could have had nice jobs but they decided to heck with it, and they became alcoholics, druggies, and other things that mattered more to them then a roof over their head. Anyone can work at mcdonalds full time and at least rent a very small apartment (well at least where I live they can, and there are plenty of homeless here). I think they should get off their butts and work for their money like the rest of us. They dont deserve my penny when they put themselves in that situation in the first place. I dont feel sorry for them at all. Pity on them.
