Read an interesting article in this AM's paper. It was a list of the 10 most common consumer complaints. Of course, number 1 was trying to get cable, cell phone and internet problems resolved. You know, some third or fourth world person who's native language is Sandskrit trying to help you. Second was credit card and lending pratice problems. See above for the same contact people.
What blew me away was that the third most common consumer complaint is the Nigerian Free Money scam. Do people still believe that they can get rich quick if they help a poor Africian fellow get his father's stolen money out of the country. If I am to believe this still works, then I've got to believe we are really dumbing down our nation somehow. Or, is there still a "something for nothing" mentality that is ingrained into us at birth that we can't shake?
OT- Can't believe this!

You should see the movie "Idiocracy" it will explain everything
Never underestimate the lack of intelligence of sheeple who only have to
wander around and worry about self gratification.
Oh, I forgot to add that movie is borderline horrible, but it is funny and somehow
I think it might really portray our future.

You know....I might just come up with a scam of my own.....You know, a lot of those Colt handguns, Winchester rifles, and old Marlins that are sitting in your gun safe are most likely fakes....Send to to me along with $100 per firearm and I will check them out to varify if they are real or fake....

Several years ago on the way to work, I stopped at the ATM and took out $20. The receipt said I had $ $4,835,617.89, I still have the receipt somewhere. Obviously a gross computer error. Showed it to my coworkers for a laugh and at least 1/3 were beside themselves how they could withdraw the money before the mistake was corrected. I found it disturbing in a way. I assured them that if it were possible to withdraw a large sum that did not belong to me they would figure it out and I would go to jail.
Talking to the bank later they said the computer gave the same balance to almost all their checking accounts.

Many of the people that stupid are known as 'Democrats'. (With apologies to those who are trying to salvage the legitimate vestiges of that party.)

I'll never forget the news article I read of a guy in Philly when the new style $20 bills were coming out. He took out an add in one of the secondary news papers in Philly telling everyone to send him their old $20's as they were no good anymore and he would give them $10 in the new style, for each one. He had a lot of people do it until he got cought.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.
