Civilization is a man made thing. Either you support it or you don't. If you do. Then give! Otherwise go live in the jungle or mountains. I always give the needy. Most beggars are messed up by their peers and family. We need to take responsibility for out fallen heroes. We don't need religion to guide our feelings. It's the feeling that giving, gives you as a person, regardless if you think its a scam or not. Do you give money to the church?
