Hi Maruice,

I'm just trolling the boards. Your point is well taken, and I do understand what you are trying to say. However, when all is said and done ..... people are just people, and are the product of their environment [e.g., you hope your children are positively impacted by the Lada experience]. People often/sometimes don't have a choice and have to work with the opportunity available. Judgement comes easily, especially from afar.

Out of curiosity, I poked around a bit. Maybe people are indeed people after all. :)

Denmark:

forum.eurobasket.com

"Dutch police have arrested 52 people suspected of defrauding gullible Internet users in one of the largest busts of the infamous "Nigerian e-mail" scam. Hooray for the Dutch police."

blogs.msdn.com

The windmill scam is new to me:

heartland.org

Wire-transfer scams in Amsterdam:

expatriates.com

Humanitarian scam?

freedomofmind.com

Most of us can find several Ashkenazi scams ...... and I have nothing against the Danes or the Ashkenazis or the Nigerians.

I personally know of a situation where an Ashenazi bilked a new Russian immigrant (a relative) out of a serious amount of money --- a socks deal --- equivalent to several thousand Nigerian 419 scams. A 100 *such* Ashkenazis might put us all out of business. :)

People do what they think they need to do to survive. Their thinking process is more important than the content, but both process and content are complicated subjects and depend on many things.

I'm glad most of us are not in a position to have to choose between 100 Danes, Nigerians or Ashkenazis ..... and that in itself has a cause. :)
