    A TV station here runs a charity that lets you give stuff (food, clothing, etc...) directly to someone. Giving someone food/clothing instead of money makes more sense to me, no chance of it getting spent on things that aren't needed.

    I heard that too actually, some money ends up helping corrupt governments and little actually helps people.

    I have had tons of junkies who have sick monthers who have asked me for money to help them.

    I liked that show, but it was oddly aired one day and the other, etc.

    I've never had bums ask for money, and only a couple charity groups have done it.

    Yeah, I dunno where I heard it from,but only something like 10% actually makes it to the people who need it.

    Yep, I actually see a new one or two every year, while others seem to dissapear. I tend to think that they just died. Almost sad, but they do it to themselves.
