    I have an idea. basically its panhandling on the internet. I want to ask for donations, to basically fill my pocket...are there any laws against this?

    basically what i want to do is, to post in a forum something lke this:

    Need donations .... Please Donate to help My success ... all donations appreciated

    No laws against it as long as you are honest and say it's for your own personal use. Problems arise if you are deceptive and say it's for charity or something like that. I'm not sure any mentally stable donor would fall for it mind.
