Let me get this straight. Thieves and grifters are not the problem, none of your business in fact, it's the rubes who fall for their sophisticated schemes?

- LatteLazy 6y agoI didn't say that. I just said it cost people who didn't get involved just as much as it cost the rubes. You and me are paying for those bailouts despite never being dumb enough to buy a cds or criminal enough to make a bad one...
- triangleman 6y agoEven so, the blame is not with the "stupid", especially when stupid seems to be a catch-all definition for all kinds of reasonable behavior, including acting in one's own interest, and not having all the information available before making a decision. Sorry, I cannot support elitism, and I don't have a better definition on-hand of what I'm seeing here, so let's call it even with "stupidity" ok? I blame the thieves and grifters.
