I don't know how I feel about beggars. I live in Rural Kentucky and don't have people setting outside buildings asking for change. Every beggar I know has a home and is capable of getting a job or a crazy check. I think before you start begging, you should have to make every possible effort to conserve money. If you're spending 50 bucks a month of cigarettes, you don't deserve to borrow 5 bucks from me. I say borrow, because most people that come to me for money ask to borrow it, knowing they're not going to pay me back and are just going to come back and try to borrow more next week.
I'd probably toss some change to someone playing guitar or something. At least they're doing something.
