Best Posts in Thread: American loses half a million Pesos

Is stupid contagious? Someone better call the CDC and have this guy quarantined just to be sure.

First: this lines right up there on the intelligence scale with bird watching in terrorist infested jungles. Second: police actually investigate this stuff? Now we know why the police don't have time to enforce traffic laws. A fool and his money.......

 

Well, I don't see it as foreigner bashing. Just idiot bashing. Sending 10k for a "business" to someone you met on a chat room 6 months prior is pretty dang stupid. I think sending the money to the online female predators is more understandable. At least with that you are thinking with your mini-me. If you are doing business you should be thinking with the head that was designed for thinking, which he apparently didn't do. Has nothing to do with him being American or me bashing them (I am American myself and I really don't care for that stuff).

I make reference here to another thread where some dumb Swiss guys went bird watching in the southern islands of Mindanao and got taken hostage. That wasn't me bashing the Swiss, I was bashing ignorance. Hopefully in the future some idiot that is doing research on starting a business or going bird watching runs into these threads and learns that bad things do happen to people who don't use a bit of common sense.
