They were asking for money. If they were asking for directions or for me to call the police I would have done that.


So you are willing to help but not give them what they need? What is WRONG with you? You only help on your terms?


Sorry i don’t give to panhandlers. I give about $500 a month to various charities because I know a $1 will go a lot further when allocated beyond one person.

I’m only concerned about protecting my family here; I lived near Elizabeth Smart as a child, and it haunts me.


Look up charities and how much is pocketed by the charity. Some like Goodwill keep around 90%+ of profits/donations/wealth.

Even the best of them is like 75% kept/pocketed, and less than 25% actually making it to the donation cause.

"Operational expenses" are a good cover for money laundering operations.


I’m well versed in charity navigator and guide Star.

25% of helping people vs 100% into liquor is still a better outcome


So instead of giving money, give food or a job or open your property up to let them use it or stay.


You are insane, let them stay?

Anyways, giving food is usually poorly received — our local food bank has plenty of food and they can easily get it, county will even give them a free ride. We cook everything from scratch, I doubt they would be excited about a head of broccoli.



Give something better than that then. Can of vienna sausage is cheap. Monster Energy drink would be appreciated.


So stock up on junk food to give away to people who don’t want it?


If they don't want it, they won't take it. Problem solved.

Does mace even exist anymore? Thought it basically was phased out in the 1990s due to pepperspray being more popular and able to get through the legal loopholes since it's just a food condiment basically.

They definitely tell all their friends.


Also makes you a target for robbery. Even if it’s not a lot, junkies need cash.


Same town, if junkie so break in, it’s good to have cash to give them so they leave.


Could you just put some cash in your mailbox for them? They could take the cash and leave.


You guys saying to have money available for something like this, LOL


You could put a few $20s in there and top it off as necessary.


Having the neighbor free money ATM, always a good plan.


People would only take it if they were really desperate.


NP. Were you born yesterday, by chance?

WTH is wrong with you?

Stuff like this is why MAGAs are so hated.


Well, unfortunately this is also why the left leaning soft-hearted sometimes end up...no longer with us. Did you read the story of the young female entrepreneur who let someone (she did not know who wanted to be buzzed in) in their multi-unit residence in Balt. City? Terrible results.



I’d rather be dead than someone think I’m maga trash. I’m sure that poor woman in Baltimore had a similar sentiment.


That woman had her head bashed in with a brick. You are insane.


Better dead than red, amiright?

+1 the evangelicals are the worst. They combine so many disgusting things in one package - AND, as you noted - also parade their teen girls around in the evening, Goibg door to door in hopes they’ll be taken up on an opportunity to raise some additional funding for the church through sex work.

These people are truly filth defined.


Where do you live? I’ve never seen any teen girls being paraded around by men in the evenings.


I live in a better neighborhood than you. That’s where.


Ah, so you’re lying.

Got it.

We don’t have any cash at home.


You should keep some. Not wise to not have any at all.


Eh, keep some rumpled rupees or yen bank notes around.


Huh? Why not US dollars?


Because Rupees or Yen make more sense long term as Asian countries start to dominate the world economy.
