thanks for your opinion
i will change some of the content of this post to not put them in a worse light.
but at the same time i think that it is a little bit silly for poor people to ask some random guy (let’s say that the begged person in question is not rich and is under 18 and is being begged by someone older) for their money, when they could perhaps ask someone that would be in a far better position to help them or even the government. maybe i didn’t explain that too well in the post as much as i should have.
when i wrote that, keep in mind that i had no bad intentions.
i’ve written about the mistakes on the top of this post. i don’t know if it will help justify some of the wrongly said views.
i have also checked several sources and the evidence giving to the poor on the streets (and i mean the streets of london in this case) is quite mixed—some EAs have said they do it for ‘the warm fuzziness’ of helping someone.
i personally think it’s better to support a charity that helps people living on the streets rather than giving money, food or other necessities to them directly—although both actions do generate some good even if one is more than the other.

thanks for your feedback though
I know you didn’t have bad intentions and I’m glad you’re taking the feedback on board.
