[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 571186, member: 1514"] Isnt it awful that people have to scam? There are times people are genuinely down on their luck and could really use a hand up. There are times that someone might need to ask a stranger for a few dollars for gas because they forgot their wallet or something. It could happen. But because so many people are scamming people no one trusts anyone anymore. I know we have these people who sit on the corner where people get off the interstate saying Hungry, need food. But all they want is money to go buy liquor or drugs. When I worked at DSS we would go buy them a hamburger and they would feed it to their dog. Irritated me no end. I have seen the same guy sitting on the side of the road up in fayetteville with a sign saying he is waiting on his disability to come in for the last 6 years! Guess what dude...either it has come in or it isnt gonna. Stop begging. I bet he makes more than most of us do. Someone once did a survey of what people who do those panhandling things at the side of the roads get as donations...and they bring in anywhere from $150 to $200 a day! That is a lot of tax free income. [/QUOTE]
