Just the other day on the corner of highway 14 exit ramp had a fella with a sign that said hungry and need food....nothing about money etc. I had a few cans of vienna sausage in my truck from a previous fishing trip and asked if that would suit him...his reply was...."HELL Yeah man....I'm freaking hungry" and smiled when i handed him over the food. I was actually impressed!

I do the same, have given many a bottled water or burger to someone who honestly needed it. However, if I'm in a bad part of town and see someone with meth mouth asking for money, I tell them I don't have any. Seen too many people at gas stations take that money and walk a couple houses over.
