When you walk along the street,you can see many beggers along the street.What will do when you meet them?Most of us will give them 1 cent or 1 dollar or more.If i tell you that begger is a kind of professional,do you beleive me? It is true that some beggers are organized by some people to earn money for them.The organizer gain much money from the beggers,but the beggers get little money. How to judge the real begger?I think we are thinkers,we can discuss the problem here.

well i havent seen any professional beggars before. But i have seen some in the net especially the china one. well i remember a simpsons episode about this one and they are right, begging can get you big money. But i dont think its decent.

There are people who make thousands of dollars a year by begging. I do not give money anymore, and will either offer to buy them food, or help them get to a shelter.

I believe you're referring to a King of the Hill episode, not a Simpsons episode.

Gosh! cant judge real begger. But i feel bad if i see somebody without eyes and some cant talk n hear. Some missing parts of body then i give some buck to them. Otherwise i don't give who are fit and still begging.

Well its really difficult to judge beggars and I don't look anywhere while walking along the street. But there are few beggars with no hands and legs so when I come across them I give them some amounts but not to the normal people.

Well when we are walk along the street, i found lots of beggar along the street. At first i use to judge the beggar than i use to give money. Some people are pretending that they are beggar but i never use to give money to them because their is a reason why they are beggar, So, we should judge the people otherwise they will make us beggar.

Well, it's very hard to judge because nowadays many people pretend to be the disable to beg. Most of the time, I don't believe it when I come across these people.

well i don't give any money to those beggars who seems to be still strong. who are still atleast 18-50 years old.there are beggars who are fat and jusr dirty. I dont give them anything since for me, if you give them any money it is as if you are giving affirmation to ehat they are doing, you are affirming them to be lazy. As for the kids or really old once, I try to give them food as much as possible. I agree with your thinking that there organizations who uses beggars to earn money and for me these the sick people who are lazier and crooked people.That is why the government should really provide solutions to these matter. Give eligible work to the strong beggars and bring the kid beggars to an institution where their needs can be provided, if these kids have families to support, then i believe several other measure should be considered

I notice, usually, real beggars are not that insistent as compared to the professional beggars. Real beggars tned to be less confident as they went through a lot in their lives that could have affected their self-esteem, so Imopst of them would not be that aggressive. Though at times,some real beggars would tend to be aggressive as they live in a world wherein survival is a big issue. Well, I guess, at the end, you just have to believe your gut feel.
