I hate beggars, my wife's mother was a piss poor, poverty stricken farm hand who could barely afford food for her children but by god she worked and eventually was able to get her children into school.
My grandmother was a poor 3rd world immigrant who when her husband died, washed floors and scrubbed toilets to give my dad food and clothing.
Both of my parents basically grew up in poor families and managed 80k+ jobs.
What the fuck is wrong with beggars? These ungreatful suns of bitches are everywhere.
I've met so many on my travels and I can tell you with almost 100% certainty that the majority of beggars are on the street because of their own consistently shitty life decisions. I know one guy who went from being a university masters grad, to the street, to being a top paid teacher and then right back on the street again. He had a super bad attitude about everything and was ALWAYS playing the victim card and would get violent if anyone disagreed with him... always looking for handouts.
Once when I was about 14, I was taking a test in a far off city, my mother had given me 2 bucks... 1 for lunch and 1 to call home with when I was finished... saw 2 poor people that were looking for handouts. I thought I could spare .25 cents, so I walked up and proudly presented them with the coin, they looked at me and said "got any more?". I gave them the rest forgetting that I needed to call home. I went back to them after and explained that I needed a dollar to call home with... you think those bastards would give me back my money? Not a chance. Had to beg the Tim Hortons to let me use their phone.
Another time I was waiting in line for a nightclub and a guy came up and asked if I had any change. He wouldn't leave me alone after I said no. Then I told him to 'get a job' and he suddenly became violent telling me he was in the Canadian army. I honestly believed him at the time and was scared, I was 18. Gave him 2 bucks... Thinking back why the hell would an army vet who makes $2000/month need to beg? Army vets are highly educated individuals with real skills. He basically robbed me.
Had some chinese beggars constantly tap me with their heads, older guys. Saying 'Laowai! Laowai! Please!' I handed one .50 cents and he tried to rip the other .50 out of my hand. I grabbed my .50 cents back, forced it out of his hand and shoved him back. Someone mentioned that I would have to pay his medical bills as apparently he had fallen on the floor. I told that person that if I have to pay his medical bills he would be going to the hospital in a body bag.
Please don't give beggars money. That includes taking dates to starbucks or buying whiney women whatever they want. People who are greatful will always show their gratitude. Same goes for people who want to borrow money, they are usually the people most likely to end up on the street next. I can make 100 bucks last a couple months, I know some people who can't make it last a few hours.
