To a degree... I can relate to Yahoo... I live in a city (hell... a subcontinent!) where poverty is HUGE problem... in Dhaka, food is WAY to expesnive... to rent a TINY apartment it costs WAY to much... etc... but many beggars out there are part of "beggar guilds" and are faking it... they own cell phones, have vans pick them up, etc. At the same time there are the guys/girls who honestly do need help, both groups will make up stories about how terrible their lives are, etc.

Of course... this is when I can go off and start talking about relationships (as in, forming them... and no i don't mean romantic ones.) but well... I won't.

All I'll say is well... theres not much to say... poverty is a problem that, in my mind, will never be completely solved... the only thing we can do is keep trying...
