Who are these people who want to be a victim?

Question

It seems we live in a victim-class society. Everyone wants to claim to be a victim. It seems the better people have it, the more they scream they are victims. Is this some inherent human trait to need to feel that they are struggling against something, or are we really that stupid and have no idea how good we have it?

Answer 1

You cannot claim compensation from someone else unless you can prove that you are a victim of something or other.  America has a huge compensation culture - closely followed by the U.K. I'm sorry to say.

People no longer will accept that something could simply have been an accident (no ones fault, it just happened), No-one wants an apology any more, they want cash.  People take offense when none was intended so they can claim their feelings were hurt and again claim cash.

It's sick and it's about time people accepted mistakes are made, accidents do happen and apologies should be accepted if sincere.

The more we appear to struggle, the more attention we get and the more help people give us. We should all accept that there should be give and take but with some people this means one individual does none of the giving but all of the taking.   We are becoming selfish and greedy and it is very unpleasant.

Answer 2

The Eagles wrote a song call "Get Over It." I rest my case.

Answer 3

Yes, some people are really that stupid and have no idea how good we Americans have it.  They whine and complain and are too lazy to take responsibilty for their own situation.  They're called LIBERALS.

Thanks.

Answer 4

It is the decline of personal responsibilty. If anything needs to be taught to children It is personal responsibilty.  Teach your kids how to garden, build things, take care of their bodies, respect the property and time of others. And step up and take responsibility for the Mistakes they make. Kids are way too coddled these days, They wouldn't know how to act in the face of anything, anymore. They just lie, and say they didnt do anything, Or try to get someone else to take care of their problems. It's sad and disgusting.

Scoutmasters, Boys and girls clubs... Step up and start teaching kids something useful, their Parents arent doing it. They just want to pat their heads and tell them the lawyers will take care of it. If things dont change, we are DOOMED! Maybe this reccesion will knock some of these people back to reality, and make them realize they are just as vulnerable as anyone else. I know I can take care of myself, Can you?
