Just went on that website for the first time.

People begging for money for weddings and vacations.

100%

And, like street corner begging, they have zero shame too.

And I don't necessarily blame the "beggers" as much as the people giving them money. If you leave out milk for stray cats they are going to continue to come.

Perhaps I'm just a jerk...or have too much self pride...or am fortunate enough to not have to beg for money...or some combination of the three, but I would be flat out embarrassed to ask for money like that. Unless it was absolutely necessary for the welfare of my children, I would rather just go without than beg.

Panhandling actually comes with a level of respect and dignity

GoFundMe does not

The difference is that you don't have to see it if you choose not to.

I have a facebook friend that started a fundraiser to get money to pay for her friends graduation gift. I was speechless. Her exact words were "Help us show Brian how proud we are of him" I have no fricking clue who Brian is. I was showing my buddy and he showed me one of his friends asking for money to pay for her daughters dance competition fees. It's getting utterly ridiculous.

Do you even know what Libertarian means? It’s definitely not the same as Liberal.
