I was thinking if the photo is real or not. The only thing came up to my mind is that beggars can be reached to their facebook account too. Check out the photo and believe. hehehe

If he can afford a laptop, he definitely don't need whatever I can give him.

The man is already using a laptop. Have you check the photo I attached on my discussion, definitely not.

If that's how a beggar would look like plus having his own laptop, I don't think nobody would give alms to him. In our country, beggars can not afford even to take a bath nor to have a decent meal. And I am a person, who would rather give food than to give cash...

If beggars have access to the internet, they might as well start using it to make some profit for themselves so that they wouldn't be beggars at all. The amount that alms to give to them wouldn't even be close to the amount of money they can earn through blogging or whatever way they can find in online earning. Of course, when they sum up all the alms that they get, it can be rather big. At any rate, if beggars can get alms from anyone through the internet, then anyone, even those who are not beggars can also. Everyone can help those with predicaments that need financial assistance if it were the case.

haha =D ANything can happen via facebook, as well as blog. It's just like some sites, asking for 'donations', isn't that the same like begging?? haha =D With the popularity of facebook, as long as there are friends, fans or many more, it's actually quite easy to get something done.. haha =D It's a matter of who's gonna fall for those tricks in them.. haha

Hi. syoti20. If this picture is real, I don't understand why this homeless man can't buy himself some new clothes, shoes and get a complete makeover. I mean, after he has spent all of his money doing this, then he should look fabulous don't you think? If he can afford to have a laptop, then he should be able to make himself look much better than he does. The question is where did he really get this laptop from? And, did someone give him this laptop, for free or did he just stole it?

I know that you can tithe to your church through the web but giving to the poor should not be electronic. Whatever happened to a need being met person to person instead of it being met through an internet provider. I don't think that too many homeless people have a smartphone and a Facebook account anyway.

Yeah. You can find just about everything on Facebook these days. I think it is getting way out of control.

He looks more like an explorer lost in a garbage dumps than a beggar. Personally I have never seen a beggar with what looks like a HP Probook.

Many people are pretending to poor, I cannot trust a photo, I want to see real people and give them money.

Maybe he has a master who gave him the laptop so they could easily communicate and identify the best places to beg in town;this way he could make serious money every day and then make fun of people who work hard for a living and have to make a lot of efforts to buy such a device or they simply can't afford it.Begging in this case may also a be a form of business,and I think it can bring important profits.

This was the best photo of the three. It made me laugh. I knew those beggers were making more money then me. I guess I need to take up begging as a hobby. That way I could afford a wireless computer. I wonder how he charges the battery. I guessing it's not while he's showering.
