So there's no difference between scam and robbery?

The underlying scheme is robbery. Though scammers use more sophisticated ways to get your money or property than robbers. But they both rob you.

Can you choose not to invest in a scam? Can you choose not to be robbed? One you can say no, the other you cannot. That's the point

I can say "no" to invest in a scam when I know it is a scam. When it is an investmentproposal I only say yes to the investment.

It's exactly the point. You can decide to go out on the street. But you are not responsible for being robbed. Same goes for investing.

So you have zero responsibility for studying and analysing the propose of someone like Madoff before investing in his fund?

Can we agree that if a person falls into a scan the person has some responsibility for that choice, while a person being robbed has zero responsibility about it?

The one is only responsible for giving money same as the other one is only responsible for being in a place where he or she or whatever was robbed. Both are not responsible for X while doing Y.

Still like to disagree with you and i think this is great.
