[QUOTE="Archivist, post: 73898853, member: 28206"] Some people begging for money are just down on their luck, but more often they are drug/alcohol users and scammers. I have bought meals for some of them at local fast food places. I would rather do that than give them money. I recall being in Prague and was out walking early one morning (I’m an early riser and liked getting out before the tourist crowds gathered) when a young lady stopped me and said “you want blow job?” She looked very emaciated. I told her no thanks but asked her in my broken Czech if she had eaten recently. She said no, so I took her to a nearby McDonalds for breakfast. She really appreciated it. BTW, I put street performers in a different category—I give money to them without hesitation. During my last visit to the Strip District in the ‘burgh I saw an excellent young violinist and a young clarinetist performing on the street. I stopped and enjoyed their music and left them each with $5. They are working and earning their money. [/QUOTE]
