[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Considering there was a whole Sherlock Holmes story centering on a journalist who gets sucked into panhandling after discovering how lucrative it is, I think it’s safe to say this is not a new problem. [/quote]

+1 their “job” is panhandling and they make enough from it to keep doing it. I mean, if you want to give them money, that’s your business. We’re just trying to tell people that they sure as hell aren’t homeless or destitute. [/quote]Every single one of them is a scammer? Do you paint everything with such a broad brush?[/quote]

When did I say panhandling = scamming? They are professional panhandlers. That’s how they make money. It’s only a “scam” if you assume you’re giving money to the literal homeless and destitute and wouldn’t give them money otherwise. [/quote]You said they aren’t homeless, so it sounds like you know every single one of their situations, and you probably have never talked to any of them. Just like our stories aren’t all the same and neither and same thing [/quote]

Ok, sounds like you have found a good gig asking for money from sheltered suburbanites in this area. I wish you well![/quote]Nope, I was just given a good heart and I’m quite aware that just like we have different stories in our life, they do as well. They aren’t all scammers or drug addicts. I don’t give money, although I used too but just decided to ask what they would like to eat. I’m in a position where I won’t miss the extra few bucks to give a sandwich if they’d like one. If they don’t, then that’s ok too. [/quote]
