Don't Force people to give you MONEY!

Hi sweetie. Here the beggars are worse than the criminals. I have learned to never go out with cash. If he wants my card, sure enjoy yourself. He cannot do anything with it, though. I normally ignore them as the temper gets me into trouble now and then. Just keep your eyes open when going out. TATA.

Oh yeah!! i remember again this child who asked for a money from me while i was crossing the street to work. I even asked the kid not to cross the street with me because its dangerous and he was not looking at the street as he cross.. but i said no to him that i do not have anything to give him... i know at his age, he should not be working or asking people money... he should be studying and his parents working and not asking for alms!! well anyway.. so i got angry.. because i did not give him money, this child who is only about 7 or 8... he shouted and said some bad words to me! he cursed me in public!! damn i was soo angry i told the child to scold his parents for putting him through that asking people for money and i have no obligation to give him anything!! hehe i just got angry that just because i did not give him anything, his attitude was over the top!! its unforgivable for me. hmp...

For all you know these beggars are silent millionaires. They are great pretenders. The only tools they use to dupe people into believing how pathetic they are is their shabby and haggard dressing to con unsuspecting public. At the end of the day they will be laughing their way to the bank to deposit their no sweat money. We should never give to beggars who approach us as they are only a bunch of lazy people whose actions are no better than daylight robberies.

i feel awkward too when i see a healthy, strong and young person being a beggar. they have still more energy to do something or work. they can offer me to clean my house or something if they don't have any skill. there i can appreciate them to give some of my money

We all have to be careful because sometimes the beggars are not actually beggars. There was this one time that I was sitting in my car and a man tapped on my window. He appeared really dirty and he was asking for money. I spoke to him with my window up and he kept signaling me to open my window. I could hear him asking for money and I said I did not have any to give him. He began to pound on my glass for me to open it and I yelled that he needed to go away or I was going to drive off. He pounded harder and I kept saying to stop and as I started to drive off he began to kick at my car. I wonder if he thought that by scaring me he would get me to give him money. Who knows what his intentions were but I am thinking that if you ask and someone like replies nicely back that they do not have any then why get so aggressive.

hello there! Here in my place, beggars have become high end beggars. They tend to produce envelopes and make use of church names and other organizations just to ask for money for their personnal advantage. I think they are so pathetic for doing that. I hate people who does like that, instead of asking for money why not work? I just can't help but scold them sometimes. I feel pity for those people who comes from the farm and generates small income yet they still give, mainly because they don't know that it is a scam. How i wish police officers will take them, and imprison those kind of people.

hello LK, I don't give money to beggars. We are supporting few orphanages ,so,i am giving my donations there. I just ignore those people (beggar). What makes me mad sometimes are those ones holding babies ,and looking those baby that looks pale,too thin and almost not breathing ,i want to strangle the person who is holding the baby. Hold me,or i can kill someone

For my part, I don't mind giving as long as I can see clearly that they cannot do a job to make a living, like old person or physically handicapped. It is also my policy to never give money to child beggars. In India, it is all common to see someone begging using religious things as excuse. I hated that. There are transexual people who goes around begging. They can be very aggressive. One time, they tried to force their way into my house and my factory. Apparently people are scared of them because of the belief that they can do black magic. What a load of bullocks...

I hate it when street children would tug my shirt while walking on the street begging for money. Sometimes i would give because i am so annoyed at that! Even though i know i shouldn't but i can't just shoo them away. One time i was driving my car and traffic stopped. I forgot to lock my door and then one kid suddenly opened it and begged me for money, i pulled my door closed but he was pulling it open too. That was really scary actually.

a little annoying every time you have seen such people in the street. may be in first time I can give alms to them but everyday in the same steet with the same people it is another story... see you around

Me, i choose the beggars i have to give alms to. If they are strong enough to work, then i don't give them. As to those street children, i definitely don't give them because if you give to one , the others will follow and pester you to give them also. Better not give at all. However, if i have a biscuit or any handy food with me, i will give to a beggar i perceived to be really so needy and hungry.

You know a lot of them were controlled by corrupted syndicates. if give them food instead. I think helping charities makes more sense because you know your money is in good hands, I dont want syndicates abnd mafias to be rich. I symphatize to those people but I know directly giving them money wont help

I would have wished him luck, and then pretended he had left

Well I must admit, some beggers are annoying. But I do give money to some of them, the ones that I think is pitiful enough. Usually the beggars sitting at the side of the road near the traffic light without both legs, I gave them some small change when the traffic light was red. Some kids were really pitiful though, there was once, it was raining and i was inside my car, and those kids just wrap the newspaper they sell in a plastic and try to sell people inside the car some newspaper when the traffic light was red. And when the light turned green and cars started moving, they wrap the newspaper in the plastic again and hide under the tree. It really pained me to know that such young kids were so pitiful I just gave them money. But some annoying ones were the liar type ones. It happened to me once. One day I was in my car when the traffic light was red, I saw a couple of husband and wife, where the wife was blind and the husband held her hand walking around cars begging for money. Then the next day I drove around the same road, it was to surprise that, suddenly the husband was the blind one and the wife was the one who held his hand and walked around cars begging for money. It angered me, it's like they're taking people's kindness for granted.

i usually do not give money to beggars easily. not because i don't want to but most of the time i don't have something to give away. i am as poor as they are though i am luckier than them as i have more decent job. besides, more beggars nowadays turned to be business. and if i give away money to beggars, i make sure they deserve it.

And here I thought beggars in the US were bad. That's ridiculous.

I don't give money to beggars either because you don't know if they are for real or just scamming. I will buy "The Big Issue" which is a weekly newspaper that homeless people sell. That's different because they are working and the Big Issue will help them with getting into shelters and back onto their feet.

hi,LetranKnight25 ,I think that beggars nowadays are too aggressive.Not only do they force people to give money to them ,but also many a lot of them fake to be physical disability to cheat people give money to them out of pity! Once upon a time ,I would give some change to the beggar as long as I have.But now,I would think twice before i take my money out.

Hey LetranKnight25! It's funny that you mentioned how beggars are becoming more aggressive lately. I for one have also experienced this, especially in Faura where the beggars are flourishing and continuously reproducing. Anyway, beggars are not only becoming aggressive but are also becoming choosy. There was a time when I ate at chowking, and there was a beggar that was pointing outside at something, maybe water or softdrinks. So when a man who just ate in chowking gave her halo-halo, she refused it. JUST LIKE THAT. Imagine a beggar like this and it would really make you laugh at the irony of it.
