If I am busy,no.Originally posted by tranquil2:if you are the one, will you also help him out
i know what you mean.. there are indeed such pple.Originally posted by icyprincess:I am rather suspicious of ppl who ask for money here...maybe cos a lot of ppl tend to take advantage of ppl's kindness and misuse it lor...
i.c.y
got one time, i was waiting for a train wif my frens, then this guy came over and "demanded" we donate money to him. When we refused to, the guy suddenly wanted to beat up one of my frens. Luckily my fren got black belt in taekwondo so he ran away in the end,....Originally posted by skinnybeanie:i know what you mean.. there are indeed such pple.
for me, it depends on the amt. If it's a mere $1 or $2, i'll give them the benefit of doubt. My principle is: i did the right thing by being kind, the "crook" will have to answer for his actions

Yeah... At least someone's really talking here...Originally posted by the Bear:i really dunno anymore
in the past i would.. without hesitation...
but too many have taken advantage of the kindness of strangers.. too many have abused it simply because they were too lazy or refused to earn an honest day's wage... they'd rather go panhandling and living off the kindness of strangers...
until we have become calloused to those who are really in need...
i wonder how many are really in need, and how many of them are just scamming others...
will i?
i really don't know anymore
I have a hard time feeding myself, let alone others.Originally posted by tranquil2:hi everyone!
just watched the show hosted by Diana Ser, Get Real! It dawned on mi the sadness of being alone in an old age... with no one ard to look after you.. waiting for days to go by... where are all their children?hmmm...
They got a 95% blind man to approach passer-bys and asked if they could help him to get him soem food, as he's inconvenient. I'm glad that most of them lend a helping hand, except for one or two who left without saying anything...
if you are the one, will you also help him out, and get him a pack lunch or dinner, even if you're bzy, in such a society like this where time is money as everyone's living in a rat race..
I would...
Times 2. But still i actually help others by habit, regardless of consequences that i may regret later.Originally posted by the Bear:i really dunno anymore
