Who here supports panhandlers?

When someone on the street approaches you asking for alms, how do you usually respond? I usually decline to give them any cash, sometimes looking off into the distance and yelling "Kyle, Kyle, don't go in there!" before I run across the street. It's a good way to get out of most conversations.

However, people straight up asking for food or water tug at my sympathies. Recently someone approached me outside a takeout restaurant asking for a couple bucks. When I told him I didn't have anything to spare, he said he just wanted a little something to eat, so I told him to wait outside and came back with a sandwich.

In conclusion, homeless life isn't easy. What does everyone else think?
