crazygreg44 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 i don't understand some posters . . . if you had to suffer from the Elephantitis Leg Disease, and all your government grants you for the rest of your life is peanuts , how would your life be like ? so instead of staying in his home country, he decided to put "adventure" an his flag and pull out of the "safe" harbour. I am a disabled person myself, and I just don't need your mercy . .. I can do things people of your kind will envy me for. My respect for Elephantitis Man . . begging is one way to do, but mind you folks. This guy will not sit there all day long, there will be an end to the day and he will be somebody socialising with somebody else. Act smart is what our century calls for. Warren Buffet is one more example, on the scale of big. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try looking up on the whole story of said person ,he would be on disabled benefits and can get good medical treatment in Angela Merkel land, after a few do gooders gave him some serious cash to fly back to Germany he was seen splashing his ill gotten gains in certain bars with Thai "social workers".

Has anyone wanted to become a beggar by own choice? I don't think so. There are plenty of beggars by choice. However some give a little more value for money. As has been suggested he should get a little monkey or another attraction. Maybe learn a musical instrument? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
