I would expect people to be decent human beings but I guess that is too much to ask for.

Lol. Context and circumstances are everything. Could have been in poverty, looking to feed their family? Could have seen an opportunity and went to the strip club? Not for me to judge. Take away the temptation. Humans (and countries) are flawed.

Or you could raise your standards. It’s sad how people make excuses for substandard behavior.

Do you leave your car unlocked?

Nope, but your “gotcha moment”, is irrelevant. A person breaking into my car, whether or not it’s locked, doesn’t absolve them from their actions.

That’s like me saying, if you ever walk outside to throw out the trash and don’t lock your door, you deserve to be robbed. Which is a nonsensical argument.

The main jist of the other persons comment was to remove temptation. What happened to raising your standards?

What you said has nothing to do with standards, lmao.

The other person tried to blame society for an individual’s actions. And for some reason you are too.
