Many, if not most, homeless people have mental disorders and issues with substance abuse.
As far as I'm concerned I don't care.
If my money helps them forget for just 10 minutes what reality is, I'll do that. I don't care if my money goes towards food or homeless man liquor in plastic bottles.
I can't imagine how hard it is to beg, but I'll give anyone the benefit of the doubt if that's what they do.
I stopped giving around my college though when I realized the dicks had cellphones. In Chicago, people sell street wise (this awful newspaper) so you can't tell if they're homeless or just have shitty jobs and want to exploit your kindness. I also don't give when it's an obvious scam (our homeless shelter is going out of business and we need money or my car broke down can i ask for $20).
