Default Re: How do you feel about people outright asking you for money?

Thanks for supplying some good quotes, all of them on point. None of them was exactly what I was thinking of, but they all say essentially the same thing.

You can't argue with righteousness, and the righteous man who decides to "help" you, may easily do you more harm than the evil man who tries to help himself at your expense. And most importantly, you know where you stand with the evil man, and you can possibly get help from others to defeat him. How do you convince people to help you defeat somebody with obviously good intentions? It's much harder to do, and thus harder to stop.
