    This is really more like blaming the victim for leaving their car unlocked

      And? It’s not their fault for getting robbed. That’s why the person who robs them gets arrested and they aren’t penalized.

      Being careless- or, in this case, not computer-savvy- does not make you not a victim of a crime.

        I didn’t say it was their fault. You used a sexual assault metaphor for what was essentially a robbery. I thought that was a braindead level of poor taste so I suggested a better metaphor. You’re like the last person on earth I need a morals lecture from, so spare me the self righteous indignation.

          Are you under the impression that I’m a serial killer or something?

        Right, but unfortunately we don’t live in a perfect world with no thieves, so you should do at least the bare minimum to protect yourself. If you don’t, you tend to lose people’s sympathy.

        No it’s their fault for leaving their car unlocked. Why do victims get absolved of responsibility for their own actions when it leads to negative results?

        Play stupid games…you know the rest.

          So if the person who robbed them gets caught, they shouldn’t get arrested or charged or anything, right? After all, it was the person they stole from’s fault.
