Has the net created a new style of begging, what makes me ask is, have you ever visited a site and at the top of the home page in full view were you can't miss it you see a sign saying "Please donate to this site" or If you find this site useful please donate, Then you see a Paypal Donate button and as you scroll down the page you see column after column of Google or other adverts.
Why can't they be honest and instead of putting Paypal Donate or similiar buttons, put a begging bowl there. I've got nothing against sites asking for a donation to help with the upkeep of their site, if thats the only revenue they receive, but I think that they are taking the water when they have adverts all over their site as well.
