Does anyone here feel sorry for those who have lost...
money in the Nigerian 419 scam? I am watching a special right now about the e-mails and letters, and their effectiveness. The perpetrators have apparently scammed billions from the 'victims'. One person 'lost' $276,000. My take: Poor baby, you wanted to get involved in an obvious get-rich(er)-scheme, and I have no pity for you, so stop whining.

3. Eh, leave it up to the leisure class to sit around and whine.
Meanwhile here in the States a young family cannot afford to drive themselves to the doctor if need be. Fuck'em.

How does anybody that dumb have so much money in the first place?

5. How stupid can people be?

I feel a little sorry, but c'mon, the 419er's are some of the most obvious scams.
