They are not doing anything interesting for the money they ask for. I want to see theatrics, art, poetry, ballads worthy of medieval troubadours, mimes, etc. Where is the next Marcel Marceau? Serge Gainsbourg? Armand Vaillancourt?
No show = no change. Their grammar is even wrong! What post-colonial studies undergrad program did these half-wits drop out from?
so far taiwanese didn’t agree with me on my feelings on this subject. they thought i was being far too harsh on these poor little westerners. would they feel the same way if it was Filipino beggars?
There’s a difference between
A) begging because you can’t get a job and have no money to eat and
B) begging because you want to enjoy life by asking other people to donate to your lifestyle and in this case travel and hang out in another country.
and i see no reason why taiwanese should be more sympathetic to option B). they literally think its cute or something. and yea if the same applys, a fillipino doing option B) would still be a different story.
