NP. Of course. You, however, are free to keep yourself and your children inside. |
We are all free to.make choices, ill considered or otherwise. Doesn't make us victims when things go badly, unless you mean victims of our own stupidity. . |
You're welcome to take on Mother Nature, but you won't win. |
Dp. Whenever reporters talk about fatalities from a hurricane or a tornado, they always call them victims. Regardless of whether they died chasing a tornado (dumb) or when a tree fell on their house (unlucky). Which makes sense since you can’t draw a bright line between dumb and unlucky. |
| Although probably some of you pedantic posters would argue that the woman who died during a tornado because a tree fell in her house wasn’t a victim since “she cHoSe to live in a place with tornados” or “she chose to have trees within the vicinity of her house” |
It makes them feel safe to figure out why everyone who has a tragedy was somehow responsible. |
Is winning never venturing outside your comfort zone? |
Most people’s comfort zone would not include extreme storms. That’s hard to understand i guess. |
Not at all the same. |
I think there are certain cases where a tragedy was entirely preventable and in other cases it’s not. |
It's really hard for you to accept responsibility for your actions isn't it? If you're ok with it why do you care what others think? |
+1 truth well said |
These skiers including the men are just like the people who go to watch the waves during a hurricane and get swept away. |
And then gloat about it accusing others of never really living or leaving their house if they don't want to see the giant swells up close and in person. How could they have known there was danger? It was an accident. |
This exactly. It us called the Just World Hypothesis (a psychological defense mechanism). See also, Fundamental Attribution Error. |
