I ran into a fun arguement earlier today and would like to discuss it!
My belief is that anyone who decides to do something, should automatically understand that if it doesn't go as they planned it is still their fault even if someone else is involved. Example...
'I gave this hobo my car, he said he'd return it and he was sooo nice to me. But he DIDN'T, ZOMG wtf is his problem. My insurance is going to cover my car, because it isn't my fault he stole it.'
Some people may not like to realize it, but the same is true for when it comes to friendship. Setting standards and seeing them not be met is unfortunately your fault. If somebody is nice to you, and if somebody gives you something is not reason for excusing yourself from blame if stuff blows up in your face.
Some people like to take 'fault' a little too far. As in think they did something bad. Or think of it in the sense that what happened to them was their fault. The mistake (or fault) you made was trusting that individual, which you might've not exactly known would've done whatever they did to you. And you're right, you probably didn't know. But it's your responsibility to understand the liability in such events!

I agree with ya' here. People need to actually understand what they're doing when they hand their car over to a hobo, step onto a subway late at night, or get into the back of an unlicensed cab in Mexico. On the other side of the coin, though, I always say, "Enter with low expectations and prepare for the worst, then be happy when it goes better than you thought it would."
