Someone goes out. Someone else breaks into their house and steals things. To you Cruzers, I guess it’s the fault of that stupid person for going out!

If we are going to make a STRAW MAN argument, let's at least get it right.

Someone makes an announcement that he has a MILLION DOLLARS lying on his dinner table, that the door will be unlocked, and there are no alarms, no police guarding the place. Someone else breaks into their house and steals things. I'm pretty sure it's the fault of that stupid person .

Thank you for proving my point.

In your lovely world view, people who steal / cheat aren’t responsible for their actions. Noooooo. It’s the dummy who forgets to lock the door and lets them get in.

Maybe I should give you a better analogy, or easier analogy to follow.

Let’s say your rich uncle gives you the keys to his Cadillac. You drive it down to Martin Luther King Boulevard and pull over to the curb. You leave the keys in it, and the door open, and walk back home. It gets stolen.

Who do you think your uncle is going to blame ?
