How odd. Nearly all of those pictures are not of begging, but rather of busking. Which you may also find distasteful but it's a completely different thing.

"I'm traveling around asia without money please support my trip" - how is this not begging? Also: begging, busking, in this context, no difference.

If you want to travel, have the funds. Why on Earth would I support someone else's trip when I could save that money for my own?!

Busking is playing music for money on the street. Maybe you don't like it, but it's not exactly begging. In other contexts, I assume you're happy to pay to hear live music performed.

Of the ten pictures, five of them were busking (and of the five, two to three were pretty damn half-assed).
