Not all beggars are leeches. Some are people who can't get jobs because no one is willing to hire them. Think of all the people you think are the worse or don't like. Would you hire them if you don't have to? Many of these people who are qualified for many jobs are turn down based on what they did in the past, for any other reason, or no reason at all. Many employers can and do discriminate on who they hire for a job.

I think they are annoying, but at the same time, I sort of feel sorry for them. We all have hard times in our lives, and some have a harder time that others. I don't usually give them any money, because I am really struggling financially myself, but I do not look down on them.
One thing that does make me really mad, however, is when they leave trash and stuff laying around. A while ago, there was a group of homeless people that would hang out on the corner near the restaurant I work in. They wouldn't really bother anything, or any of our customers, but they would always leave a bunch of garbage out on the corner where they would sit. It was really annoying, because part of my job was to sweep up all the trash around our parking lot, so I would be out there trying to make our place look nice for our customers, and all the trash left by the homeless people would be down by the road, so I would have to go down there and clean all that stuff up too, because leaving it there would have just made our place look bad. Someone must have said something to them about hanging out there, though, because I haven't seen them out there in a while...

I agree with aaronfyzeon on beggars are leeches. They don't have shame so they can use this special skill to make easy life via someone's cheap compassion.
But I never look upon them, can you give up all your self respect and take others' supercilious look and mockery nothing? I'm sure I can't! This is also a skill.

People should not see them as pest.
They are people too. Some do not have a choice but to beg to be able to survive.
Some though are clearly over the edge and ask their kids to beg for them. These are the people I hate. Using innocent children to work for them while there are physically able to work.
If you see a bunch of them clunked in crowded location, chances are they are in the same group and doing a career in begging for the benefit of someone else.
Most of the kids begging are victims. Some are addicts you see sniffing solvents in order to escape the reality that they do not have food to eat 3 times a day.

I think of them as leeches! sucking the blood out from their preys! We are breaking our backs from working just to earn decent money compared to them that they will just beg from others. I would say that they really are shameless too because it takes a great amount of shame when you ask for money or goods from someone if you are not used to it. Everything in this world should be fair so they should work hard also for them to earn what they are due.
