Faith in Humanity restored. How many of you would do such a thing? I ll be honest, I wound even think of doing such a thing. Respect to these three German students! :)

Yeah, what's selfless about recording it for some recognition so that THEY can make more money, or even better, find someone that will scout them. Yeah..they are helping the guy, but it is NOT a selfless act.It's for personal gain, as well.Let's keep it real.

The want attention, obviously. Commence the figurative wanking.

"Faith restored in humanity", you say?That phrase is old, and tired. I know I am tired of it...

Those who lack faith in humanity, lack faith within themselves. You ever heard "how you view the people, is a reflection of yourself"?

Perhaps, you might think you're above humanity...

Lmao the guy was like "...wtf is going on" and ya that was a great act but I feel like it lost value by them filming it. Sure more people saw it but it seemed more like a publicity stunt rather than actually caring. .. And not to be cynical but that dude got like 3 bucks out of it and I'm sure youtube paid those kids handsomly

You will find plenty of good in people when the chips are down. When everything's going well people tend to avoid other's suffering. That or the opposite.

2 things:
1. Buskers are awesome. When I was in Dublin, they were all over and it was pretty cool.
2. This video proved that doing something is better than nothing. The homeless guy could do something, anything, to bring in some money.

It's not really easy to appreciate or be cynical about this. It could be an act of kindness, sure.
It could also be an act of selfishness to get attention. Some people do kind things solely to reap
some kind of benefit for themselves, and making a video out of this certainly doesn't help their case.
So, I'm pretty neutral about this video, as there's no way of telling why they REALLY did what they did.
