    “They’re too stupid to make their own decisions, I know better what’s best for them, I must protect them from themselves”.

    I’ve never been given a reason to not think most people are morons

      I presume you don’t consider yourself to be a part of the aforementioned majority? Do you believe it makes you superior? Do you believe you know better what’s best for them? Do you believe you must protect them from themselves, even at the cost of their self-determination?

        I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I am stupid enough to occasionally get close to falling for a scam. Rather than test my luck, I’d rather they didn’t exist.

          Allowing someone to play a game in which the rules and odds are clear and up front, is not a scam. Full stop.
