We're all victims in waiting. But, just like with other arbitrary systems such as the enforcement of victimless crimes or traffic laws, most of us don't suffer too much most of the time, so the systems endure despite the inherent incoherency and unfairness. It's just the occasional poor sucker having their life ruined, but never enough to create a meaningful backlash.



>>We're all victims in waiting.

Maybe for you being a victim, that's your problem. Don't lump me into your issues. I prefer to create my own destiny. I am not a victim. I can handle myself. I have the ability to ask for help when needed.

As a matter of fact I'd say most of my circle of friends colleagues and acquaintances would agree with not being a victim. Probably be offended by your statement actually.
