[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] You can think all you want about each of your activities. You can also come to a different conclusion than someone else. What I think is rude is blaming the people who died when you weren’t in their position, you don’t have all the information, and no one cares about your opinion. [/quote] You do. Clearly. You can't stand the fact that people are judging people who disregard warnings. You aren't going to change minds by continually arguing. Bad decisions were made, tragedy ensued in a completely foreseeable situation. [/quote] It was obviously not completely forseeable because I don't believe the people who died had a death wish. And multiple disagree with you, by the way. Or at least are trying to tell you you're a jacka$$.[/quote] No pretty sure it's just you. The people involve made tragic errors. Not unlike the deaths that occur on Everest. You seem really ignorant about the psychology of events like this. it's obvious why.[/quote]
