>>As for those who can't hack the 'dog-eat-dog' society. I feel zero sympathy. Make better choices in life. The world is full of 'challenged' individuals, be they mental, physical or sociological, who have had great success in their life. It is not luck, it is a matter of will and desire. If you can't hack it then maybe natural selection should run it's course.

>I won't be judgmental, since I don't know you other than from what you say here, but if you approach people in real life with that attitude your funeral is going to be attended by about six people.

I've found that people prefer blunt honesty rather than feigned sympathy.

>Where's your compassion? One doesn't have to be a "bleeding heart liberal" to feel ordinary human compassion.

It is possible to be compassionate towards an individual while recognizing the broader problems with the hand-holding "from the cradle to the grave" direction our society has taken.
