"If you put less thought into your personal retirement plan than you do into your favorite sports team, then you deserve everything you get."

Should I rephrase that to:

"If you put less thought into your personal defense plan than you do into your favorite sports team, then you deserve everything you get."

No, that'd be a monumentally callous thing to say to anyone who'd been raped (your analogy, remember). I submit that your statement is equally callous.

Anyway that appears to be your position; anyone who didn't stop the harm done to them deserves it. Hope you're never on the wrong side of the equation.

Well, your submission is deeply flawed.

First, for the obvious reason that being robbed is not the same as being raped.

Second, because one can easily guarantee that one will not be wiped out by fraud at one specific public company.

A person cannot diversify out of having a body that can be raped - a person can quite easily diversify out of a single public company that can be defrauded.
