"everyone"? Regardless, I don't take much I read on forums seriously, especially when it seems people are just doing it for the laughs. I mean there has been all sorts of sketchy topics on these forums alone dealing with issues like racism, prejudism, etc. If thats the way people are in real life, so be it, I have no control over them, nor do I really care to. To answer your question there is no real justification in judgment without knowing all the facts. I have no reason to laugh at anyone unless they rightly deserve it or if its in a friendly manner. I also have no reason to applaud someone who attempts to better themselves, then gives up after the going gets tough. Thats just me though, it may just come out of indifference towards other people.
