Samir receives a phone call from an unknown woman. The woman sounds really hot and sounds like she likes him. Samir arranges to meet the woman at his home, only to find it's actually a man. Samir is subsequently tied up and robbed of all his money and belongings. Is Samir an idiot (Y/N)?:

What's lacking in your life that you need to be so judgemental?

  What's so judgmental about what I said? I'm just reading the story and pointing out the obvious. It's really hard to feel sorry for someone who sends naked pictures to a stranger simply from a facebook message saying "Hi, how are you? I saw your profile and I liked you". And this is a crisis because?

    +1 to this point of view Samir didn't just fall for a Nigerian money scam or something (also a foolish thing to fall for). He was nude AND masturbated on video AND showed his face to a stranger on the internet, a public venue. I'd feel for him much more so if this was a private video/conversation with his SO that got hacked or their relationship went sour and she used it against him. The rare times I considered doing something like this with an SO I was concerned just about it going to a secure cloud account in my control. So why would I give a stranger such power over me, even if their intentions are good? What if they got hacked and extorted, and I get caught up in it as a result? Is this experience really worth these risks? Lastly, so far nothing bad actually happened to him anyway. He got smart quick once it went south and has been proactive ever since and as a result has mitigated the issue. I'm glad he shared his story, hopefully others like him read it and don't go through the same experience.

Samir is your grandpa who is showing signs of Alzheimer's. You are tied up in a legal battle to take custody of him. He's been roughed up and now fears for his life. Did your grandpa deserve that (Y/N)?

  Samir is 21 years old and does not have Alzheimer's. People need to take some personal responsibility for their own ineptitude. The only way we learn as humans is from our experiences (good and bad).

    The point I was making is you don't always know what makes a person an "idiot". Some it is simply a disease, others were born only slightly handicapped and from the outset can appear normal. Some are going through things and are mentally crushed, seeking out another person who appears to like them. As it turns out, those dumb people are sometimes related to us and going through something. Another thought, should we expect the geniuses of our time to completely exploit us? I mean, they are smarter and superior than the majority of us. Does that give them the right?

    Perhaps murder victims should take more responsibility for themselves and not get murdered. I'm being 100% sarcastic.

      Perhaps murder victims that bought knives and pointed them at themselves and invited strangers to push, should take more responsibility. Also sarcastic.

      There's nothing wrong with pointing out behaviors that would to a result like that.. like being a drug dealer.
