It depends... where I live there is a large number of homeless people on the streets.. and it seems an even larger number of people who beg because they want to make free money.. Its easy to tell the difference one looks like hes not had a comfortable bed in weeks the other wears brand new trainers and clothes... one group I give money too if I have any spare the other I get angry at.. I dont like people making free money when they are capable of getting of their arses and working but are too lazy to do so

One fault to that, Knight..
Every being is able to get up and work for money.. so would they make all of us lazy?
Because the people who already have a job.. well.. work. The poor people.. can somehow clean themselves up... and maybe go back to school and then go to work.. no? Now I know it would take them a long time and they might get discouraged a lot..but if set to it.. it would be possible!
But then again, I do agree that people who already have a job should not be begging either!

Over here we have a project where the homeless sell magazines called The Big Issue in order to make themselves money to get their lives together...
Its a good system. It works. It's a lot more constructive than begging.

Actually, sloths aren't lazy, they just take their time on doing things. Which can sometimes be better depending on what job is being done!
