I was watching some of the videos on youtube on scamming people with those lottery mails etc. But realized one good question about life. If life given you only two options - 1. Be a beggar. 2. Be a scammer. What option would you choose? I know there is always an option to work for someone and get a job. And if not job atleast we can do art, cleaning or stuff part time and survive. I wonder what would be people doing if they are into only two options.

It's a hard one. I wouldn't want to be either but scamming is so dishonest. I would hate to have to beg too but it is a more honest option,

@skysnap Let's hope we never come to the point in our lives where we have to beg.

there are beggars/scammers here in my place. inside the church, men and women hand out small envelops as if begging but then the company printed in the envelop is not real.

Honestly, neither. But if I had to choose, I suppose it would be a beggar. There is no dishonesty in that.

Maybe I will just be a beggar than a scammer. I don't want to fool other people. If I will beg, it's up to the person if he will give or not.

I was going to say the same though sometimes beggars seem like scammers here. They ride in jeepneys give out envelopes asking for donation or some has prescriptions asking for money.

Since there's only two choice, I would prefer the first. At least I don't cheat to live.
