Where there is a chance , criminal will take the advantage of it so as long as we can prevent our self  for getting scam, I think it will be okay
World are fill over many type of people, they have their own reason to be a good or bad guy especially when this world getting over populated, many people look over the wealth more often

I don't know where's the scam in your post. But yeah you're right if you give some people an amount of money they will keep coming back thinking that they can earn money by just begging around and abuses people, No one knows i think it's just a nature of human.

I know someone who has a potential to work but chooses to beg since people give him money. I think it's bad to give someone that you know has a potential to work, only help people who really can't work for themselves like elderly, children and Person with disabilities.

Simple, They just want to get an easy way of earning money. Cheating and stealing are part of our human nature. We do have a devil inside of us and we are fond of taking advantage to those people who we know are vulnerable. Scamming has been around in any type of industry, and we can't contaminate those people as they can easily jump from industry to another. Some people tend to scam due to influence of other people, urgency and etc.

Getting a job is not possible for everyone, not everyone has family or [friends] to help them and sometimes they will make the bad situations even worse them. If you've ever really needed money and were very desperate, than you probably know that people would let you starve to death rather than give you $5.

It's weird how people won't toss out just a few dollars to help someone in need, yet they'll spend $10000 or more on their pet that has an average life span of under 5 years.

But then again, if you give the person in need money, they'll keep coming back for it. It's a real crap shoot

There can be no excuse for scamming, stealing and robbing, if you are poor and starve to death you are the only one to blame. Billions of people work hard, study, build plans for the future and tighten their belts during hard times, their situation is no different from those who choose the criminal life. If you will start whitewashing and glorifying stealing, you will end up with cleptocratic and corrupt society that only becomes poorer because economy just can't work in such environment.

People don't feel and are not obligated to feel any empathy towards the strangers - everyone should be responsible for their own life and not look for a way to throw their burdens onto others. Pets on the other hand are chosen companions and they bring happiness to their owners, so it's natural that people can spend huge amounts of money on them.

The underlying economic difference is that people are reluctant to give money to the poor because they see the level of one's wealth, but it is not wrong to help a hungry person just by giving money. But if we give them automatic money they will be lazy to find a decent job

Retract your "trolling for crypto" offer in the other thread you started,  and you'll probably be an entertaining member of bitcointalk--assuming you don't get banned first and that you're not somebody's alt.

Interesting observation about the starving to death thing.  So true.  That's part of the whole "money is the root of all evil" philosophy. 

You're not looking for a handout, are you?  You can go starve with the rest of them.

You should change the topic title as why people are so selfish. Base on OP, I don't see any direct point saying "why people scam."

Anyway, the point of view of people who are not donating some money to people who are just begging is that those will become dependant instead of finding a job, a decent one, instead of just opening your hand while sitting in the streets waiting for someone to give them a coin.

Those who deserve to receive donations are those who are facing health issues like cancer but they can't afford it, those who are working hard yet still it is not enough and etc.
