Ouch. Some people. :dafq:

I know this video was trying to illustrate a point, but I can't help but wonder how big the sample size was in this experiment.

Part of me hopes that at least a few of the non-homeless folks didn't try to steal the ticket.

Hardly a valid "social experiment" when all you show is four people and only show certain ones. I can guarantee if you did this to 20 people, not every one would be dishonest, and not every homeless person out of 20 homeless people would be honest.

See, this is why I always say you won't survive im this world a (self)respectable person without values in your life. Never take what doesn't belong to you.

Also what mr. Riker said, the dude had total control over editing and he basically showed us selfish people with homes and selfless homeless people, too clichéd.

This is a cool video but I wouldn't use it to generalize anybody. Two random people from rich places and two
in poverty doesn't prove anything. It could be coincidence. Or, he purposely edited the videos to include only
the people that did what he had been hoping to prove or suggest.

Either way, plenty of homeless people will rob you, and plenty of wealthier people will help you out.
It just depends who you happened to ask.
