However, I think it is bizarre that a person who cannot take care of himself would have a pet. I find it even more bizarre that these pets are well provided for. I no longer give any money to a person begging for it, and will certainly not give them any money to feed their pets. I imagine I am paying the food and vet tabs for the pets of many welfare recipients, just like I am paying to raise their obnoxious kids. But I do this very, very grudingly and because the government says I have to.

Also, there is no reason for a sane able-bodied person to be a beggar. Get a fucking job. You are not above McDonalds.
Have you noticed that the number of homeless people goes up quite a bit when the economy sucks? Are all these people just lazy all of a sudden? "Get a job, asshole." Some able bodied people can and are lazy. They don't deserve a fucking thing. Some cannot. I would imagine that it's difficult when you apply for a job at McDonald's and they ask you for an address and a phone number and expect you to interview in clean clothes and bathe every day.

But I'm not trying to change your mind. You are a good person and I'm sure (because you are so strong and perfect) that no one in your family has ever given you any assistance with food, rent, money, tuition or help of any kind.
