Just because you can't tell who really needs help you don't help anyone?

Please direct me to where I said this.

So people should give up their money to anyone who asks? I'm far from rich, I work hard for the little I have. I'm not giving it away just because someone asks. Charity begins at home. Of course I'd like to help more, there are a lot of things I wish were different, but I'm not compromising my life, financial safety, risking it for a stranger who I know nothing about. I've got people that depend and rely on me.

I've bought food for those that needed it, walked him right to the counter of a local taco place and let him order whatever he wanted. I've given away a duffle bag full of shit I just bought, specifically for a guy standing outside CVS in cold weather. I give away tools and equipment to neighbors that could make their life a little easier, but handing over cash to someone you don't know that could be a scam? Why not just send your money to Indian call centers?
