| http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9O8j9QPZc8 I know that most people say that north americans are uncaring about their fellow man, also some other countries too, but given the situation, the boy said that his jacket was stolen and his teacher told him to wait for her at the bus stop. this was a marketing ploy done as promotion to provide winter jackets for Syrian kid refugees. Most of them went off without proper winter gear. |
| Lend or give? Big big difference. Edit: Watched the video. That's lend. Not sure really. It would depend on whether I noticed the kid in the first place, as well as if I had a jacket on me. Now that I've seen this video I probably would. |

| "Lend" - sure. However, the video says give, and no, I would not GIVE shit to him. It's my property. He can borrow it until we part ways or even get on the bus (if it has heating), but unless he's a bum living on the street - not just "someone stole my jacket, today sucks lol", he doesn't get to keep it. The story with that boy doesn't involve him being a street rat, but simply having a shitty day. His mommy and daddy can buy him a new jacket when he gets home and tells them his old one was stolen. I wouldn't wear it again until getting it cleaned though, I don't trust random people - especially not ones begging to wear my clothing. And I'd need him to stay very close so that he couldn't try to run and steal it. I'd prefer to keep a hand on it the entire time, and if he isn't comfortable with that, he can stay cold. |

| Lend, yes. Give, no. |
☕ Truth be told, I'm quite proud of my house blend. To attain my flavor and fragrance, I use five different types of coffee beans. ☕ |
| Sounds like give rather than lend to me and no I wouldn't. Sure refugees have problems but thats for the governments of whatever country they arrive in to take care of, the people can't be responsible for everyone else. If I give my winter coat to some random kid, im left without a coat I payed for. I have as much right to wear that coat as anyone else, the idea of been guilt tripped into handing things away is stupid. Same with the disabled who say treat me no different than anyone else but expect you to give up your seat on a packed bus even though you have an hours journey. |
 |
| But if I give him my jacket...Then I will be cold... |

| I would call his parents. If he's lost, I'd call the police and lend him my jacket for the time I'm with him. 'm not going to leave the poor kid alone... |

|
| no i would not |
| RRRRRRRRRR |
| Lend yes, give no. Unfortunately I'm not that much better off than that kid. I don't make enough to buy a new jacket on the fly. |
 |
| To a Freezing girl yes. But only to Charles Bonaparte. |

Canada Goose? Parajumper? Nobis? Moose Knuckles? Arctic Bay? I have an old canada goose from years ago,a couple of ski jackets and another one that is less warm. nice, nice the older model Canada gooses (before they became popular and lets say "at a time before the 'hypebeasts' lack of a kinder word, started rocking em,) were actually top notch quality, more so than the recent models. I find the coyote fur on some jackets from 2006-2008 (from the showrooms)much nicer and full than the new ones I see at harry rosen, or sporting life. I actually sell nobis jackets as a little side business, and although they aren't Canada goose jackets, the fur on those I find have better quality control and just look like gold in comparison to 2013-2014 winter collection CG jackets. The down has much more volume as well. EDIT: I also wanted to remind you that Canada goose's initial target audience for their products was scientists and other working men in the arctic. |
Heredity said: in the video none of them give this jacket and then walk away. I think they really are just lending it until the teacher comes to pick the kid up.No, because in this big world the concept of 'lending' to a stranger might as well be 'giving.' This isn't your Japanese anime, they're not going to hold onto your jacket for 10 years while they wait for the day they meet you again. |
|
| Yes, I'd give my jacket to a freezing kid. |
| I would, with proper means to reclaim said jacket of course. |
 |
| I would lend it to them of course, but to give it to them no. |
 |
| Sure. They can have it if the need seemed grave enough. I have plenty of others and I mostly buy former military items or cheap jackets anyways. Once on a long trip where I couldn't eat anything given time constraints for a couple of days, I finally got a sandwhich, I gave it to some kid, waited another day to eat. Not a big deal to me. But as I said it would depend. In my real example the girl was crying and her mom didn't have no money to get anything, hell the woman thanked me with tears in her eyes. As to a kid, if it was some skinny little fucker male or female that looked like they were about to kill over, I would do so without a 2nd thought, I like the cold. If it was some fat kid, or one in good health that looked like they had a coat and forgot to get it, then I would not. They need to learn a hard lesson. Overall maybe that makes me a good guy, but I won't let my kindness be taken advantage of, at the same time if its in my power, then I will help those truely in need. |
| I'd give my jacket to a kid who was freezing, I'm pretty tolerant to cold anyway so I could do without for awhile. Plus, I wear relatively cheap coats/jackets so I could replace it. I've donated jackets/coats in the past, but I've never had a freezing kid around to give my coat to in person. |
  |
| Taking advantage of a kid, throwing him out into the cold to make a statement? Now that's! injustice! In that kind of weather, hell no. My ass is freezing and I ain't tradin' places. He's not gonna die, and he certainly doesn't look poor. But if he wants, he can go sit on my lap... No pedo. |
| Sure, I'd be glad to lend my jacket to a freezing kid. But if for any reason I feel like they're trying to take advantage of me, I'll take it back immediately. |
 |
| I don't own any jackets... but if I did I would probably give it to the kid as I don't need them for anything anyways. |

Aloxamax said: Just fyi, those jackets they were wearing can cost anywhere in the range of $50-$400 . . . Given that they were an adult size, it is likely they were at the very least over $100 . . . Now, If the kid was actually going to die, sure I would give a kid my jacket, however how do I know the kid is not just running some scam (MUCH MORE LIKELY), the chance of running in to a kid sitting at a bus stop in the snow claiming he is "lost" on a field trip and that his teacher told him to be somewhere and never came back is 1/1,000,000,000. EVERYBODY SUES. So why in the @#$% do you think a school doesn't go one step short of tying each kid to a long rope and leading them around like ducklings during a field trip?I don't own any jackets... but if I did I would probably give it to the kid as I don't need them for anything anyways. |

| I carry a remotely detonated explosive collar around just for such occasions. If I feel the need to "lend" something to someone, as a condition they must wear the collar, which is impossible to remove except by me. If they fail to return said "lended" item after, say, 72 hours, I hit the switch, sending out the kill signal all around the globe via satellite. |
| ive given my jacket to a homeless uncle before i wear cheap clothes so i didnt lose much though lo |

| I'll probably direct the kid home than just giving him the coat. Giving him the coat just seems naive and irresponsible. |
| Didn't watch the vid. If waiting would make him eventually go home and I wasn't in a hurry, I might as well wait with him. |
| I usually wouldn't hesitant to do so. but if it's one of my favorite jackets... Sorry kid. |
 |
| I'd give him my pants, but no to the jacket. |
| If it was a girl... No, really, I'd do it. Probably. |

 |
| Very heart-warming video. I think I would. |
| If the kid is actually freezing then it's far too cold to even think about taking my coat off. |
 |
| If I were to take it off, I would be freezing. I'm quite susceptible to cold weather as it is, I don't need anyone else (let alone a kid) to take my jacket from me so that he feels warm and I don't. I wouldn't be wearing it if I didn't need it, now would I? In this case, I'd have a hard time believing a teacher a told him to wait at an unheated bus stop for who knows how long in freezing conditions. It would make more sense for the teacher to tell him to wait inside a public building (such as a library, or even a police station) where it's warm. Heck, why didn't that teacher lend the kid his/her coat? |

| nope its the kids own fault his jacket is gone |
| dont ask questions, just do answers |
| Of course I would lend or even give my jacket to a freezing kid. If he was poor I would gladly give it away. I can easily replace my clothing. Most of my jackets are probably worth less than$100 anyways. It's the same shit as donating to the Salvation Army lol. If he was lost I'd probably call the cops too. |
| I wear only T-shirt when it's freezing anyway. Poor kid. |
| Give a kid a jacket, warm him for a day. Teach the kid to bring a jacket, warm him for a lifetime. |
| Lend, yes. That's what most people would do anyway. Giving it away is a different story though. |
