[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I ask them to sell me their soul for twenty dollars. This almost never fails to generate an angry, profanity laced reply, which shows you the type of person you're REALLY dealing with, behind that panhandlers smile.

On the very remote chance someone ever reacts with a polite "no thank you" or some other deferential but courteous reply, I'd actually give them $20. [/quote]

No, it shows the world who you are. They are not asking for money because they are nice. They're asking for money because they're broke.[/quote]

They are asking for money because that is their job

You do the same thing everyday with your employer or your clients.

Wrong. They are asking for money because they don't have the kind of job I have. The kind with pay.[/quote]

Their job does get pay. They stand on a street corner asking for money.  That is how they are employed.   Do you think you are better than they are because you have a structured environment in which to perform it.
