don't u hate those beggers that fake their life situation to try and beg for money. i seen a lot of ppl that beg in the train with nice looking shoes. the worse is when i saw this lady pushing a baby carriage with her son inside and begging for money while she was wearing a baby phat jacket [video=youtube;Dnvmtfi9E7Q]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dnvmtfi9E7Q"[/video]
when i was in hk i saw a lot but some were serious with like no hair or no legs or arms and they looked so poor and i felt sorry for then that i was gonna give money...then i was told its people getting hired from china
The thing about beggers is that they hide their money when they reach to a certain point, making it look like they got nuffin! Yeaaa, I spelt NOTHING as nuffin!
this isnt so bad... i have a dude walked up to me in downtown holding a cup of venti starbucks + iphone 4 asking me for money.
you want to know what is bad, when you actually give some change to a begger and have him curse you out for giving him a dime and some pennies
^ LOL, or ask for more (technically, it is the same cause the person is complaining that it is a little)
the fact was that he wasn't technically that poor. he wasn't wearing ragged up clothes he was just an elderly going around begging for money. i thought it would be nice to give at least something to him so i gave him what only little change i had to him. from that time on i never gave any money to ppl that beg on the train
Beggars in Toronto are pretty nice, once I say no they always say it's ok and walk away. I even come across some very witty ones that have a whole back drop to a long story but overall they pretty smart now. They changed up their game because 10 years ago they were pretty bad and aggressive.
and how many do u think they'll get right? lol. ohhh, wait, they can use their phone for a lifeline! ahaha
My ICT teacher once said this, if someone asks for some money reply by saying "do I look like a cash machine to you?", if they ask to borrow your phone for a call, reply "do I look like a phone booth". It is rather funny.
As harsh as it sounds, it's true. It is acceptable if it is for emergency, otherwise if it is for their personal use, they don't deserve a penny!
