I have no idea what you are talking about with this.

It is PART of the whole picture. There would definitely be less begging of people did not gave them money. That is a fact.

yes agreed, it's a fact. And a whole lot more crime :thumbsup
Regardless of trying to do the whole of society a favour by eradicating begging, if I see some guy who made some shitty decisions because he truly didn't know any better, rather than some kind of mission to end up a homeless wino bum, sure I'll give that guy a few bucks, and if he uses it to escape for a few hours by buying booze or drugs, he can have at it.
I've also taken homeless people I've seen a pizza, sandwich, cup of coffee/tea etc if they've been close to somewhere like that. But please don't tell me I'm somehow encouraging their drunkenness/spaced out time just by having some empathy and saying here, get fucked out of your mind for a few hours and forget about how much you fucked up your life through a series of decisions that led you to arrive at this point in time.
Hopefully though nobody else sees those acts, and gets the idea in their head of what an easy time of it they'll have by becoming substance-addicted and foregoing sanitation, shelter, and food - we can't have that kind of encouragement going on :thumbsup
