If a homeless beggar comes up to you and begs for money do you give him any money? If so, why and how much? If not, why not? Same situation, but beggar is not actively begging. Said homeless person is sitting up against a building on the curb shaking a cup. What do you then? Give him something? Walk by?

I usually buy him a hot dog or something. I don't like giving out money, but I have a hard time depriving someone of food.

Depends on the specific situation.

If you live in a city where this is common, I don't really think there's any other play than just saying something quick like "sorry, no change" and walking on by.

Where I live there is not a lot of begging going on.
But if someone asks for cash I'll usually part with 10 or 20 bucks, no questions asked. |

I live in the burbs and rarely go to the city. If I was there every day I would have to buy my own hot dog cart to feed all the homeless guys I see. |

Don't make eye contact, don't acknowledge. Def don't give them any money.
Only time I will give a beggar something is when I am already carrying leftover food, and I have a strong suspicion that I will end up throwing it out instead of finishing it. Even under this case I would not stop to deal with the beggar. Hand them the box and keep walking. |

I usually give a buck or two a day to street kids in Portland. I used to give a fiver every once in a while to a one legged vet looking guy that hung out at the plaid pantry in my last town. I figure I'll probably be a bum eventually, may as well build up some credit.
