Why the hell would I give MY money to beggars? I worked for my money - why don't they try the same?
I think it's absurd that anyone gives money to these people, and I have a hard time understanding why begging for money is legal but prostitution is illegal. At least in the latter someone is performing a service.
Slightly off topic, but has anyone noticed how many more beggars there are in warmer climates than in KC? I just moved to Nashville, and they are all over the place down here, even in the really nice areas (I live across the street from Vanderbilt). I have a friend who recently moved to San Fran and he said they are all over down there too.
