They're just valuable enough that you feel like you missed them if you don't take them. I'm pretty sure I ate more cheese wheels than anything else in Skyrim.

If you want to reliably care for someone who is dependent on you, it is horrifically irresponsible to turn to crime and risk being taken away from them. You're not going to pay for much of anything from the inside of a prison cell.

What else would you have them do? Apply for jobs that they're not qualified for? As far as they can see, either you take the risk and get something out of it, or you don't and your little brother goes to bed without dinner.

I have a friend who works a lot of odd jobs and construction, and almost every day he passes homeless people on the street, pulls over, and offers to pay them $10/hour to work for him for the day. Not one of them have ever taken him up on it, they'd rather sit on the side of the road with a sign and hope people throw money at them than do actual work.

You're forgetting that not all of them can work a job that pays enough.

It is possible that some of them are fakes. I wouldn't guess a homeless person to do that.

On the other hand, for any of them that are legitimately homeless, that doesn't make any sense. Why wouldn't they? Are they on drugs?

That's because you're horrifically naive.

If I was enter to enter a Thieves Guild it would be for the express purpose of destroying it from the inside. I have a very strong distaste for criminality of any kind.


"A woman was near death from a special kind of cancer. There was one drug that the doctors thought might save her. It was a form of radium that a druggist in the same town had recently discovered. The drug was expensive to make, but the druggist was charging ten times what the drug cost him to produce. He paid $200 for the radium and charged $2,000 for a small dose of the drug. The sick woman's husband, Heinz, went to everyone he knew to borrow the money, but he could only get together about $1,000 which is half of what it cost. He told the druggist that his wife was dying and asked him to sell it cheaper or let him pay later. But the druggist said: “No, I discovered the drug and I'm going to make money from it.” So Heinz got desperate and broke into the man's store to steal the drug for his wife. Should Heinz have broken into the laboratory to steal the drug for his wife? Why or why not?"

EDIT: I'm not saying there is an obvious right answer. I'm just curious what your response would be.

Calling someone naive isn't an insult, that's just an observation.

On average, homeless people make well over ten bucks an hour.

I was able to pay bills and feed my family for minimum wage.

How well do you think the "homeless" can live off of 15 an hour? That's just on average, not counting the good stretches where they might be able to get 50 or more in an hour.

I make a little over $100 a day. Do the math. Scam artists gonna scam.

Also, naive is only an insult to the naive. A wise person would realize that we're all naive.

Going by that logic, it would seem alright to tell someone they're ugly to their face, because I "observed" that.
