I assume that much like people can disconnect vitriolic statements from reality when sitting behind a computer screen, so too can that screen disconnect people from the shame one would usually feel begging on the street for money. I don't understand it, but people can be completely honest in their disconnect from shame when asking for money for completely unnecessary things. The people asking for help with extremely difficult times, sicknesses, etc., those people that legitimately need help, probably feel enough shame for everyone.
