I dont give beggars anything. It usually goes to alcohol anyways. If I would give a beggar something, it would be food. I was in turkey for some years ago, and ther was this guy in a weal chair, that said he had lost his foot and needed money. The only problem was that you could clearly see that he had his foot under his blanket, and that the foot that was cut off, was fake... I though it was kinda funny, and gave him money anyways.
