If you consciously decide to give or not give to street beggars...

@Paliglass ...don't quite understand... you go on impulse? Perhaps gut feeling as to whether it's a genuine case of hardship? Or you sway one way or the other with no particular rationale?

@Valentine on an instinct if they are genuine and on an impulse of whether I feel like giving anything or not. If I don't have money on me I've given chocolate, a cheeseburger I was about to eat, a cigarette. I was gonna give the guy yesterday half a bottle of JD I had in my bag but I had change. I have told someone to F OFF etc once though because the people I was with looked frightened of her - she looked like she was on drugs. Sometimes I just say "no sorry" So it's on impulse.

@Paliglass Me too :)
