ICTJohnboy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Done, although I wasn't happy with the religion option. How many on here ask a beggar to state their religion before deciding whether or not to make a contribution? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smpar Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Done, although I wasn't happy with the religion option. How many on here ask a beggar to state their religion before deciding whether or not to make a contribution? It could be seen as a clumsy way of wording it, but I'd guess it's just meant as if people assume religions. I'd imagine Muslims to be perceived as the most 'obvious' religion, and as much as it sounds disgusting, could be a big factor in whether people decide if they will give them a pound or not.

Hmmmm.... I can think of quite a few I've come across in certain parts of Glasgow and the west of Scotland who would claim to be able to identify a catholic long before they would a muslim!

I wasn't going to include it tbh and I wanted to word it a little better but I included it because of the idea that if, say, a Jewish person came across a beggar wearing a Kippah they may be more likely to have sympathies and same for Christians and beggars wearing a cross etc. In hindsight it's quite clumsy and I probably should have left it out.

smpar Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Why would they wear a fish? It's what the Jewish cods* want them to do.*Might be singular, religion isn't my strong point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmothecat Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Done, although I wasn't happy with the religion option. How many on here ask a beggar to state their religion before deciding whether or not to make a contribution? There's a woman on Princess Street who sits permanently praying. Maybe that makes the god-fearing more inclined to give.I know two beggars personally through work, and whilst both are nice people, neither are homeless. Makes me somewhat sad as it makes the genuinely homeless less likely to get needed help from the kind-hearted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Done. As I recall, 3 years ago, there was a beggar in Oxford Street, London, who claimed he was homeless when he wasn't and made £50,000 a year from begging. He was charged with fraud. He lived in a £300,000 flat in Fulham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By fresh do you mean a different one, If so yes. If you mean the same one then I doubt it? Zam, are you going to come back & publish your findings. I wanna know what sort of c***s we are? Would like to think good uns. Grimbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
