i'll simply give them some amount of money not all the money tht i have!,hoping tht they will knw how to use it

[M|ch]

i simply ignore them , cuz most of them work for some1 who puts them on the roads specially those little kids :X

[lebanese_a]

It depends on the person

I do not give money to children coz the #$%^&* that put them here will find it profitable and leave them

I don't give money to "normal" people 3am yech7ado coz go get a job.

I don't give money to people that tell me stories coz they are usually not true.

I only give money to old people coz bechfa2 3layone somehow, uno they are this old and they have no one!!! There was a guy in Tabaris while going up from the CV to near the SNA building that I used to give 1000LL to every 2 day, I don't pass there anymore, I wonder what happened to him

w there is an old guy and an old woman that live under the Dora bridge, the trafic used to be always moving when I got near them so I never got to help any of them, bass now that they are taking the old bridge apart I wonder what will happen to those poor people!!! The new bridge is too high and the pillars do not have a base like the old one, so they cannot "move" to the new one!!! god help them!!!

Such thing can ruin my whole day especially the young children. i actually memorized many of them a young a girl with her 2 little brothers who usually are on dora rond point or antelias or jdeideh. I wonder how such children can be left on the street heik don't we have any laws about this? i mean it has been MANY YEARS i see.
Their parents don't deserve them, what kind of parents can do such thing!!
I helped those children many times but i don't anymore because as lebanese_a already said their parents or whoever control them will send them moreover.
I usually help the old people and the disformed people in addition to mothers with a baby, that's my weakness i can't hold it.

i dont give them money, i ignore them when passing next to them.
and there is a problem that many people i know have faced:
they give a homeless some money, so within 1 or 2 minutes, u'll see every homeless in the city following them!

i saw a homeless once on jesr l kaslik, she begged me for money, i told her that i dont have, i said "i have a cigarette" , so i gave her a cigarette, kayyafit.. walla3tella yeha 3ayyadit she about 90 years

well me 3eyish 3al masroof , so 3a addi , i kant give em , but theres those boxes " da3m il moqawami " " al yateem " i give 500,s in em , most homeless here are actors , especially the kids , once i read in an article how much they get a day , they get from 40,000 to 100,000 L.L a day , imagine! they get payed a double more than an average lebanese worker!

well it happened wiz me many times, usually when the person is mature enough and he's begging me to give some money, honestly i ignore him, not bcz im "mtames7a" or smthg like that, but he can work better men eno yenzal, "l cheghel mech 3eb", i think many from our grandparents, didnt have enough money 2 raise their kids (balich men jdoude w jdoudon) so chtaghalo bi byout l 3alam la amano wledoun
Now when i meet a kid asking for money, usually ill ask him if he's hungry or what he really wants to buy with $, w ya ma cheyre bouza, sandwich, chips, chocolat... for many kids, w i fl proud after this, la eno 3refet wen ra7o l masare w keno la sali7 l chakhes
