dome of us live in misery and they seem to be ok with it. I'm shocked to see young people on the street, people who should be working, prefering to beg for a penny near the church or at the subway. of course it's easyer to earn money like that ( a child told me that he made about 100 euros per day) but what do you do with your diginity. of course I admit there are other people who don't have any other posibility to earn money( like old people for example) but I hate to see that people who are capabale of work use this method just because they are too lazy to get money in a different way

I find it hard to believe that anyone would chose to beg instead of working. I know there are organised beggers that make little kids beg for them, but its just so sad:-(

sadly I found this kind of examples. in my contry there are people who have 12 children for example and live from the child support that they recieve from the state. do you find this normal? to have kids just because you are to lazy to wrok? and to wait for the government to give you everything? and Ia lso hard about parents who break thir children's legs to send them to beg....again is this normal?

I can never do this. I prefer to be hungry and thirsty instead of begging.
