I take the same route to and from work everyday.
I understand that Christians are supposed to help those in need.
BUT
When I see the same two homeless guys at their same street corner, at their same time, holding their same sign, I can't feel compasion for them anymore.

They are working. Not helpless.
It disgusts me that they take advantage of kind people.
If the one guy that stands outside by the KFC at lunchtime happens make eye contact with you and you shake your head that you wont give out money, he'll point to KFC like he expects you to go through the drive through and give him food. He has a pudgy belly for crying outloud! He's not helpless! I see KFC street corner worker riding a bike at the end of the day and I know he's going home to a house
I hate when beggers bring dogs into the game too. It might fool some people but it doesn't get me.
I pay fast offering and that's enough to take the guilt away when I roll my eyes at beggers.
Also, please don't stand at a corner and beg ESPECIALLY when there is a hiring sign outside of McDonalds at that corner. It's McDOnalds, they hire anyone.

I agree!
It drives me crazy when they bring kids into it, too. I can't help but feel bad for those kids. Its a mean trick.
All I know is I won't give them money but willing to get them food... but what bothers me is when you give them something and you don't even get a thank you or a censer (I think that's the right spelling) one.
