Exactly, and if someone came that sob story with me, I'd just think it was a scam rather than pure f*ckwittedness...

Yeah, my likely response would be to "get a job, you slob".

I've always wondered how some low-income people seem to have this inate ability to crisscross the country effortlessly. Maybe this is how.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Then again I could just be a cheap ****er. One eight hour day grosses me over $200 so buying someone a ticket would likely cost me a day's wages. I just don't want to encourage this type of behavior since it is abusing the kindness of others. It is one thing is someone is really unintentionally trapped and needs help and entirely another when a person deliberately decides to beg off of other people because they want to travel but don't need to.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

It's only abusing the kidness of strangers if he lies to them.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

I like it.
I'd probably buy him a ticket if I had the cash to spare.
I mean, it's like on the street - some guy's like "Can you give me a dollar to buy some food." And I'm like "But you're an addict. If I give you money, you'll just waste it on drugs." And he's like "No man. I haven't eaten for days." And I'm like "OK. I'll get you a burger." And he's all like "No. No man. Just give me the money." Then I'm like "What's wrong with a burger." And he's all like "Just F-ck the f_ck off man!! Give me the money. Or f_ck you" And then I'm all like "Well f_ck you man!"
This guys jus' gotta mooove and he needs a ticket. An thass cool, man.
Second: The dude's not, like all down in his funk with the 'I kain't go nowhere' and the 'I done got's no munney' and the 'world so cruel' like, jive, diggit?
No man! He out there! He done fight them powers!
Besides that, I hitched from Sydney to Cochin once myself. So, if I had the spare change, I buy him ticket.

True, but if a truly needy person comes around maybe people will not help him because these tourists have already hardened their hearts. It is better to let the truly needy use the free passes.Originally posted by chegitz guevara

I see no reason to believe that the guy lies to people in order to get plane tickets. I'm sure there are many people around (in airports) who'd gladly give a ticket to a young traveller, without this gift being an almony.
If the guy is nice and passionate about what he's doing, I'd probably give him a sandwich or a subway ticket to encourage him in what he's doing.
