I saw that yesterday and that was sure heart warming to see a homeless man giving away food to other homeless families.

Makes you wonder how many, so called homeless are out there, not because they can't earn a living but because they don't want a real job, to get off the street, they prefer that lifestyle. Then there are those that are pan handling just to get money but don't really need it, it's free money for them, with little to no effort. It is so hard to tell the difference in peoples needs. Stories like these YouTube videos, just show how many people really are in need but there is always the other side of the coin, those that take the money they earn pan handling and use it to by booze and drugs. Hard to know who to trust.

[#0000FF]There are definitely folks out there that are looking for handouts...not a hand.
I was once visiting a friend who owned a nice restaurant. We were visiting in the kitchen area when a grubby looking guy came in through the back door. He asked "Have you got something I can eat?"
My friend evidently misunderstood. He thought the guy was asking if there was something he could do to earn some food. So he asked if the guy would mind cleaning up around the dumpster out back. The guy got all irate and hostile and replied "Hey man, I'm just looking for something to eat...not a job."
I have watched a couple of those "investigative reporting" TV shows that follow "panhandlers" around for a while. Amazing that some of them make hundreds of dollars a day...most of which goes for substance abuse. But there are some of those tattered and torn folks who go home at night to nice homes and drive nice cars.

Well thats too bad but it was still a good story at the time. It made me feel that some homeless folks are willing to help others, I guess it goes back to the saying of don't believe everything you see on the internet.
