> "Personally, you can't blame people for doing their jobs."

Woah. Why not? Why can I not blame someone for doing a job that's a net negative to society? Why can I not blame someone for doing a job that's purely parasitic and creates absolutely nothing of value?

By that logic, I can't blame dealers for pushing crack to kids - because they're just doing their jobs. Or, more legally, I can't blame used car salesman for being lying, swindling cheats, because they're "just doing their jobs".

because life is a rigged game and some people came into this world with a poor hand. if you blame ppl for doing their jobs, you have to blame God for creating an unfair world.
