[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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”[/quote] It makes them feel safe to figure out why everyone who has a tragedy was somehow responsible. [/quote] This exactly. It us called the Just World Hypothesis (a psychological defense mechanism). See also, Fundamental Attribution Error. [/quote] Or maybe it makes the thrill seekers feel better that nothing is in their control. No free will. It’s all pre determined.[/quote] Nope, it’s the other way around, especially on this thread. [/quote] You mean the people crying "can you even leave your house!" when people say think a little first? Because clearly there is no gray space between being sane and throwing all caution to the wind.[/quote] There's always the risk of being struck by a meteor. It's just not worth it.[/quote] Or a drone, bomb, chemical, biological or automatic weapon. [/quote] If you can’t see the difference between these things and the increased risk of an avalanche after heavy snow in a mountainous area, we can’t help you.[/quote] People will judge you for the unnecessary risks you take. I know people who knew that living in the hillsides and canyons of the Pacific Palisades and Malibu carried a much higher fire risk than being in other areas, had the money to afford a beautiful house elsewhere, and still decided to buy a house there.
