    It depends, if I have something to give then why not?

    But, if I don't have anything, then I won't.

    depends on my mood.

    when I am in a good mood, I do give some money.

    when I am in a bad mood, I don't help anyone.

    If you mean homeless yes I have done it before. Bough the guy food instead of giving him money though, which he would probably spend on drugs.

    Usually, when I can afford it and they agree, I will purchase them a meal. Often here a beggar is homeless because of an addiction, thus if you just hand them money they will more often than not spend it on the drug of their choice than they will to help their condition.

    I have bought coffee, Whoppers, etc. for the homeless, but I do not give them cash as it contributes to their problem rather than works to alleviate it.

    It depends. If I see an old-aged individual unable to care for themselves, with disabilities, I mean those genuinely deserve, I don't mind giving some money to help them.

    It's a hard one cos there are so many con artists out there. I have given food before and sometimes money but I'm becoming more and more skeptical so now just food

    I will give alms to beggars if they are very poor and in a pathetic condition. But most of the seemingly pathetic and poor people are richer than most of us. Differentiate them and help only the needy...

    Only if they are already old. I don't give to those who are still able to look for a job.

    I do give the ones who really need it. I hate the fake ones who are just lazy... But the ones really in need, I give them.

    Frankly the answer is no. Because i believe the phrase "as you show so shall you reap". The beggars are beggars because they deserve that except few exception.
