I agree with you 100% unfortunately though, there are a shit load of people out there that probably wouldn’t even know what to look for (parents/grandparents/ect) ---

> [@Dr.Stevil](#): > > people out there that probably wouldn’t even know what to look for … people who shouldn’t be doing financial transactions on the Intarwebs? If you aren’t responsible in “real” life to handle money, you aren’t given the privilege. If you fuck up and lose it, it’s your OWN fault. I see no difference doing it online. People take for granted that we should ALL be able to use the internet, but so few bother to understand ANY of it. How many people do you see who don’t understand the difference between a hyperlink on an HTML document and the actual URL… Like, say… [http://www.disney.com](http://lemonparty.org/) 😛 😛 ---

Some people think that computers are magic boxs and really don’t understand how and why they do what they do
