See, you see it as "saving a few dollars." Others see it as helping people less fortunate than themselves. You'll never get it.

So, let me get this straight. You would bring into your house and family some guy standing on a street corner holding a sign up saying "Will work for food" and instead of just giving him 10 dollars (Which, I will admit, I probably would not do unless I talked to the guy for a few minutes to find out how legit he was...in my experience, not many are)let him roam around your home because he is less fortunate than you.

You know, life is not a lottery. You sound like Tom Daschle. I worked to get what I have. It was not given to me. Nor would I risk it because of some misguided sense of guilt.

A naive do-gooder will bring home vagrants --or as you call them the less fortunate --and expose their children to them and also teach their children that these are just good people down on their luck. To me the family doesn't sound bad ---just hopelessly gullible and they allowed their children to become that --so they aren't able to fight back when they can ---a more street smart kid would likely have saved themselves when escape was possible.
