Do any of you give to beggars on the street here?
I heard that they get rounded up from god knows where and shipped in by the mafia everyday, who then take their money. Quite lucrative apparently.
In Cairo they say that some people are so desperate for money that they get their own limbs chopped off to beg.

Hadn't heard the mafia thing before, but I always wonder about the guys who look like they have been having radio therapy.... you know the ones with the masks, no hair, no eyebrows etc....it makes me really sus. Like would you go begging if you were truly that sick?? I don't know. I am probably gonig straight to hell for that thought
