Had a guy try that to me when I was in high school. I was hanging out at the 12th st shopping center at 12th st and Janeway when this guy approached me and said he needed to sell a watch for 10 bucks to get his kid some formula (this was in 94, formula was much cheaper then). He swore the watch wasn't stolen, yadda yadda. Told him I wouldn't buy the watch, but I will go to the corner mart and buy him some formula. Guy quickly refused and when I started to badger him he told me to f-off. Since then I have never given money to someone begging. I have offered to pay for gas, diapers, formula, etc and all but once I was turned down. Bought a 20 something woman with a small child a full tank of gas. Not sure what was going on in her life, but she needed to get to her parents in Kansas.
One of the good things about working for Cox is we have an employee funded, employee run charity called Cox Charities. None of the donations received are used for operations. Its staffed by employees who are paid for their time. And the employees decide who gets the money and its always someone local. This is the only charity I give to so I can make sure my donations are spent here, locally.The problem with donating to any charitable organization is, they are all operated by human beings! But on the other hand, giving to people panhandling, is no different, we never know what they will do with the money we gave them! My sweet wife said it best in my opinion, Christanity teaches us to GIVE TO THE POOR, what they do with the money, is not our responsibility! The Salvatrion Army, Sriners Children Hospital, St. Jude's Children's Hospital, are three of my favorite charities, I think they use the money donated wisely and for the purpose intended!

Boy, he got that right. See what they did to the BSA?Have always prided myself on being aware of the surroundings. Yes I saw that ass, yes I saw them jugs, yes I saw that brain fart, yes I saw that accident coming. Its not paranoid but being prepared for what's coming. I was a boy scout and grandpa said the enemy would come from within .
