Comment I'm Australian so it's Ok for me to be confused... (Score 2) 993

But Trump from his behavior is an ignorant populist, offers simplistic "solutions" and from his speaking and actions simply doesn't have it to be a president of a backward unpopulated island, let alone the US. Why is he being seriously considered for any position above dog catcher?

Comment A group of victims not often recognised (Score 1) 241

We talk about the greedy being caught by these scams and don't feel too bad when they trap themselves. Another class of victim is the inexperienced and we know that they are unlikely to be caught twice. However one group of victims that gets hit time and time again is the mentally impaired. As the father of a son with Down Syndrome I am very scared that his beautiful trusting nature will expose him to this sort of crime. Sadly he won't learn from experience because he can't. It isn't in his nature to distrust and he really doesn't understand the concept of (malicious) lying.

So without constant supervision, and from my talking with other parents with older kids even with, he is vulnerable. I'd love to have some way to protect him that didn't involve a magic bubble or disconnection from the modern world.
