Due to my greed and stupidity, I lost all my money in a Nigerian 419 scam. Who do I contact in the government to bail me out and nationalise me? |

Are you kidding us? I mean... how did that happen in the first place? Last time I got a mail like this, I just copy pasted the contact info into google, because I wanted to see what it comes up with, and actually it was pretty easy not missing http://www.419eater.com/Maybe you can find some useful info there, too... |

Erm, no. Come on people, get with the program! For starters, those who get scammed never seem to realise they actually were greedy and stupid. Even less likely to admit it to themselves. Even less likely to post about it on an internet spaceship forum where the inhabitants are generally known to be as sympathetic as a pool of cross bred piranhasharks. Anyway, got to go, just off to get my free lunch. (*) (*) No, not really, that was a joke too. |

For all you idiots, the joke is he says he failed at money management and wants the government to pay for it, which is funny because thats laughable whilst companies doing the same thing was just passed by congress. |

It depends. Are we talking ten digits and did you borrow it from a primary dealer? |

Ah, alright, yeah, economics, I think I get it... Problem with the way the world is run and paid for now... I mostly don't get that either... for one how does interest work? I mean, would the existance of interest mean, somebody is going to get screwed over his money, in the long run? I have this sneaking suspicion, the whole thing is nothing but a big ponzi scheme waiting to collapse... |

Yeah, I guess it's down to scale. I owe a little, and I can't pay it back, I'm in trouble. I owe 100 million, and I can't pay it back, the bank is in trouble. I owe 10 billion, and I can't pay it back, the country is in trouble. * Concept stolen from the original: I kill one man and I'm a murderer. I kill ten thousand men and I'm a conquering hero. I kill all men and I'm a god. |

That's arguable at best For all we know, it might as well be that gods are created by man. Oh wait, now I get it.. you said "men"... so basically you meant you would be the last guy on earth, enabling you to screw a high perecentage of the female population, thus giving you a godlike feel through the abundant availability of wild and exhausting sex at all times, on your terms and your terms only |

I was hoping The Halifax went bust so I didn't have anyone to pay my mortgage to, but apparently it doesn't work like that!  |

Speaking of Halifax, I have an account there which contains less than what they spend on postage mailing out statements. I was going to close it but feel good about that right now. |

Considering how much junk they put in each statement and the extra junk between statements, you could actually have a reasonable amount in that account... (okay they charge by size not weight now, but I'm not going to let silly postal service charges changes ruin a joke) |

They're already bailing you out by securing your money that's in the bank, and all of your employers money that pays your wages. |
