Everyone one of their articles, comments, and posts can be answered with a "grow some balls, the world is not a padded room." Even in a civilized society, work often involves putting a figurative knife between your teeth and going out to fight for what you want or need. We have it far easier than those that came before us, that had poor shelter and no certainties about food, but we're still not beyond having to fight for what we need.  This idea that we should all walk on eggshells so no one ever feels challenged or offended is ridiculous, and it diminishes our accomplishments. If the world is being too hard on you, toughen the fuck up and keep fighting. Life is what it is and you have to adjust to it, and everyone your meet walking down your street is not your mommy and doesn't care about your feelings. It's like their bodies get soft and their wills and minds get even softer.
