longneck:They will give a dollar because nobody ask for a dollar all at every corner like in Romania. If they will be asked to give a dollar every day , 10 times a day, they will not do that . So, is not stupidity, not compassion...is no gipsys at every corner!
hhhmmm....you might be right about that ...i just dont understand their thinking process..i was well dressed,big smile on my face and they didnt even bother to question why 
"there is NO WOMAN out there that is worth the trouble that she brings" by me :)
