Why would you give money to beggars?

Asked by frigate1985 (927points) July 18th, 2009

Does giving money to beggars help them at all? if the beggars are using their money for drugs, alcohols, and gambling, wouldnt it be beter to give money to the charities and the salvation army, etc?
What are your thought about it?
wait, the term beggar is a bit pejorative.. lets try, people in dire need of necessities :)
