Quote From: maxy_13My comment was made following the blog on 23 Sep 2006 - the title was"Nigeria/South Africa Scare the Heck out of me!" the person who posted it was dgbent56 :
I did not say that me country was 100% crime free and yes all countries have there problems - I just did not want a misreprestation of South Africa. The blogs that I read regarding this subject - (Love Scams) makes it seem that most of the scams are done on Yahoo and that is why I asked if it has happened on other messages boards like maybe ICQ?
The other similarity, was that the people doing it was Nigerians. So the question is this - Does other countries follow the same trend?
I was just trying to protect my country, like I would assume you would do for yours...?
And if that is why, you say I should grow up, then maybe you need to find it in your hart too see other peoples point of views on matters, as I would assume all adults do?
Regarding matter closed!
You implied your country is crime free, or at least no crime is perpetrated by South Africans.
" ...these scams are done by Nigerians! "
" ... person trying to scam you, was living in South Africa but was NOT a South African citizen! "
Your statement about yahoo was incomprehensible.
" ...after reading most of the bogs is that Yahoo is not save? Or has this also happened on other sights? "
Nigeria is apparently the computer scam capital of the world at the moment. It is not surprising that there is so much crime in Africa. It is so poor that people are extremely desperate. I don't hate them for it.
I have no need to protect my country with hyperbolic statements. It is the best country on earth (not perfect), but if there is a problem with it I certainly won't sweep it under the carpet, or turn a blind eye to her faults. I will fight to keep my country the great place that it is.
" ...I should grow up, then maybe you need to find it in your hart too see other peoples point of views on matters, as I would assume all adults do? "
You refused to see anyone else's point of view that is why you made the statements you made. I never assume anything, but based on your writings here, I would assume you are a very young child. You didn't state it as just an opinion, but as a statement of fact. You chastised the other poster for their opinion, just like you have done to me. You demand other's accept your opinion while denying other's the same courtesy.
Now the matter is closed. Have a nice day.
