A poor mother carrying her infant and begging on the streets of Vientiane.

So this is the reason the commies won the war?

I have a question regarding beggars:

Do you consider it rude if someone advances with an outstretched palm begging for money?

For me: It is rude.

We all know what they're about. To advance on someone and brazenly hound them for their hard earned is quite shocking in my book. However, there are exceptions, like that lady. Most of the 'beggars' I've come across aren't are 'opportunists'. I've even had to banish a few with a curse or two.
