Just like with beggars on the street, I would be willing to give to a beggar thats creative. I would give this guy $10.
Of course, a creative beggar is providing a service which should be rewarded. However, I'm afraid 10$ would solve only a few micron of that beggar's problem
So should we open a CREATIVE MERIT BEGGING thread?
That would open the way to a whole new ecology of merit-rewarding games and competitions, even though I am afraid that the true spirit of the reform could get *slightly* twisted in the process...
