I would give my money to a hobo, money isn't the whole world, you do need to get by with some, but if somebody needs it, then they can have it... for real, there's no point in passin up someone that's needing money.. so if i give them the last little bit of money i have, i wouldn't be worried.. I ain't sayin go and give a stranger a thousand dollars but 2 even 10 dollars won't kill you to give someone..

Viscocity, i do know about the hood, it is hard to keep money for some folks, but even there, my mentally is the same i will give someone money no matter what, this how i think..

i'm goin to school to be a surgeon.. why?
not for the money--- i dun care about money at all, except the fact i need to give it to God as tithes and offerings.. and pay off necessary stuff, it's nice to pamper yourself some time, but i can't do that knowing there's a lot of people needing money in the world.. it's like you gotta quit thinkin about yourself and the negative things, that's how everything alwayz seem upside down... when i was in the hood i made the best outta it, my boy got shot and my mas friend on a holiday went right thru our building.. people get jumped in gangs, bad times happen... but that doesn't change my heart on people... However, i do understand EXACTLY where u comin from viscocity... i've been there.. and wouldn't want anybody to live in the hoodz of chi-town if they had to permanently... and there are sum sheisty lil' homeless people... u do gotta watch your back..

You have to live in Chicago not visit to say it ain't violent, you don't how many people die in one day over stupid shit, and it's not like other cities.. Chi-town should be murder capital, i went to the west side the other day, it looks fucked up now.. River Oaks Mall looks ran down, if i go back to the southside.. i'd prolly see the same, and seeing is not living there.. fa real, you just dunno.. @ hurricane

Lady-Fiya, you actually seem like a coherent member of this board, i applaud your attitude as shown in your previous post, and i wish you the best as a surgeon. Steady Hands!

My mom is the donating kind, she always gives them some money and she gives it to organisations too and stuff. I hardly give money to someone on the street though because most of them are fake anyway. One day, you see them sitting there in rugs, begging for money and the next day, they drive you by in their BMW or whatever...I know it's not right to judge all homeless people on a few cases but i'd rather donate money to an organisation that helps them than give it to someone on the street from who i don't know if he really has no money or not...
