A nation of WHINERS, do victims of abuse and bullying count?

[Deja Q]

Listening to the radio this morning, they went from a topic about "WHINING" (never mind previous days when they bicker about everyone in America having a 'victimization complex')... to how these two 14 and 15 girls were kidnapped, raped, conditioned, then used as prostitutes.

One of the DJs said they would be scarred for life.

Will the same people say where the whining line gets drawn? And generalizations? When do individual considerations get some (or any) influence? (Granted, there should be no special treatment for ANYBODY that bullies or robs at gunpoint or murders, but I'm not talking about those inhuman animals. When do we help the victims get on their feet and to overcome those scars as best as possible?)

My personal slant sides against them because those whose lives have been hurt by bullies, rapists, molesters, et al, DO have scars and decades later, while most of us are still functional to varying extents, we do end up with extra challenges.
