Should people give money to beggars on the street? I heard conflicting opinions about this. Some say they just spend it on booze and cigarettes, so it would be more effective to donate that money to hostels for the homeless and similar institutions. Others say it's not a big deal and it makes them happy. What do you think?
What's your goal? Effective altruism literature suggest that if you want spent money to do good, bet nets for Africa are an effective way to do so.
(this is off topic) I have always felt that africa is very far away; the man on the street literally asking for himself is significantly more tangible.
