All I can say to this is "you're young". Wait until life deals you an unpleasant blow!

As far as people not really being homeless, making good money, professional panhandlers - I can understand and appreciate everyone's take on these fronts. Personally, I do not have the time or energy to try and figure out if they are "needy or not". Anyways, they are certainly not "getting rich" on me. As I said, I don't always give money - it is more like occasionally. I try to remember to give a little if I have some smaller notes on me. But that's just me.

And for those who simply have no compassion at all - no tolerance or a complete lack of understanding - I say listen to BOB DILLON'S "ROLLING STONE"... Yeah... how does it feel... to be without a home
