It is way worse than this. Just look at the whole Penn State issue to see how many people were willing to let multiple children be molested just to keep a football program from getting a bad rep. And this isn't counting the parents who allowed their children to be molested because of the benefits they received (these are likely victims who will not come forward).

You want to know what is really fucked up? There is some item out there on Diablo 3, and some parent out there in the world, that they would be willing to let their child be abused so that they can get that item.

Next time you get a good item, just think about that...

Or for a worse thought, think of how much time that whatever run just took, and during that time, how many children died of starvation who would have been willing to prostitute themselves if it meant they could have food for themselves or a younger sibling.

Just to give you a rough estimate, over 10 children die in a minute. More than 10 just starved to death in the time it took you to read this post.

The way I see it, if the average human didn't segment this knowledge away, the stress from it would overwhelm them.

Ok, time to hug a kitten til I feel better...
