The majority of people work a job, put money away, and live their lives with the expectation that as they near or reach retirement age, their savings will be there.

If they honestly believe that they can put all their savings into a single stock and never have to worry about retirement, I'm surprised they ever learned how to tie their shoes or make toast.

If you put less thought into your personal retirement plan than you do into your favorite sports team, then you deserve everything you get.

"If you put less thought into your personal retirement plan than you do into your favorite sports team, then you deserve everything you get."

Should I rephrase that to:

"If you put less thought into your personal defense plan than you do into your favorite sports team, then you deserve everything you get."

No, that'd be a monumentally callous thing to say to anyone who'd been raped (your analogy, remember). I submit that your statement is equally callous.

Anyway that appears to be your position; anyone who didn't stop the harm done to them deserves it. Hope you're never on the wrong side of the equation.
