i.e. Drug addicts and mental patients that you keep giving money to, so they tell all their friends and you start stocking up on vagrants in the area.
Stop fucking doing this. Volunteer at a soup kitchen, give homeless food, etc – stop giving them cash to spend on drugs and alcohol. This just enables their own self-destructive habits and doesn’t help them.
It’s not just empathy. It’s also ability to think. Drugs and alcohol don’t have any nutritional value. Homeless that asks for money is living proof that money is spent not on drugs and alcohol.
It is sad, that some people think “Homeless are drug addicts, I won’t give them money - they should get money themselves. Homeless are dirty people, I won’t hire them. Homeless will bring property values down, I won’t rent them apartment.”
“No cash donations to hungry homeless you pass”

They’re having a shit life. If a dollar or 2 here and there helps them have a less shitty imma do what I want with my money.
This is an awful and harmful point of view.
Says someone who clearly has had no experience with it whatsoever.
Yeah and how many times have you been homeless?
Regardless, you’re being a selfish dick. Have some empathy.

Homeless in Oslo take card
mental patients are self destructive in the same way cancer patients are.
Correct.
Cash “kindness” certainly could result an a OD death.
Stop the cash!
This seems to be heavy sarcasm
No. I’ve personally worked emergency calls from homeless camps where people use a lot of drugs. Where’s the $$ come from for the habit?
“Nice” people that are stupid enough to hand over cash to people that are HIGHLY likely to use drugs. Brilliant!
Dear Faust, this is worst human I met today.
Dear Darwin, this is the most naive human I’ve met this week.
