What do we teach our kids when we have them stand in front of Wal-Mart asking for handouts? Once again I was surrounded by kids today asking for money so their basketball team could go to a tournament when I walked into one of my local Wal-Mart stores.

I've seen kids from 5 to 18 years of age asking for money in front of these stores and it drives me nuts. Sports teams, church groups, clubs/organizations, it's ridiculous! I can't even narrow this down to race or economics because of the groups I've seen.

Once on my way into a Wal-mart I saw a nice BMW stop and a little boy in a baseball uniform hop out. He joined the rest of his team asking for money at the door. If mommy can drive around in a BMW on the weekends I feel no guilt in not giving her kid money.

I've seen adult organizations, usually churches, in front of these stores asking for money as well. Of course that pisses me off as well but to see parents encouraging kids to ask for handouts is absofuckinglutely disgusting.

Is all hope lost? No. When I left the store I saw another group of kids across the street trying to raise money by washing cars.

If your kid's group needs money let them earn it. Please don't teach your kids to be beggars.
