    If it’s such a good gig, nothing is stopping you from doing it yourself?

        Money has no morals. The amount of money you have is probably the worst way to judge a character. More often it’s circumstances and I see no reason to kick someone when they’re down like you do.

          I’m not big on relying on charity to pay my bills. If you could get it by doing an actual job and just beg because it’s easy you’re stealing from those who actually need it.

            How is it stealing when people are giving it to you voluntarily?

              Charity is a limited resource so if you are relying on charity when you do not need it, you are taking it from those who do.

                You aren’t taking anything.

            The word you’re looking for is fraud, not stealing or theft.

              I’m saying that the available charity is limited. When you solicit charity while not needing it you remove that charity from those who do. So while it may be a fraudulent appeal for charity it also steals a available resources from those in need.
