What the fuck does a foreign country have to do with anything? I've seen poor people in Honduras, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Mexico. Poor people in third world countries are in a whole different class than poor people in the United States.
Also, I have a feeling that those who said they wouldn't blindly give money to beggars would easily find a way to get a job and get back on their feet. If I were homeless I wouldn't beg for money. I'd walk my ass to McDonalds and
get a fucking job.

Huh? Because we have different opinions, your opinion wouldn't change if you lived near more bums? I don't understand.
