Are they really a victim though? In Sean's post the person had fair
warning. The problem in this day in age is the terrible lack of self
responsibility. That and the fact that a large percentage of people are
just plain lazy, which makes for a bad combination. Instead of taking
action it's much easier to just be lazy and blame someone else.
Victims are innocent bystanders, not excuse makers.
