Normal is What Normal is?????

I was a having a conversation with somebody earlier, when we began talking about people taking advantage of the system, other people or the community they live. We were trying to figure out why or how somebody could manipulate the well fare system, unemployment, friends, family or any other group or agency, only to have personal gain at somebody elses expense?
The conversation evolved into what becomes normal or accepted by some is what becomes a lifestyle. Those that take advantage of others become lazy & manipulative but to them it is normal. To those raised in this enviroment or working for or hanging out with people that do this, it becomes normal. I have worked for people who doctored documents & charged extra to be paid more. I have seen people & know people that defraud insurance companies & file fraudulant law suits because the system allows it & this becomes normal while they strut around like everbodys friend doing things I can't afford to do because of time or money & these people are taking my money to do it (grrrrrrrrrr).
As I have thought about this, I think that the more dependent society becomes on dishonesty, laziness or handouts, the more we expect it & the more normal it becomes. I find that those that live their life this way are really screwing those that don't because those that work hard & are honest have to pay for those that aren't. Those that defraud the system vote for politiceans who promise more handouts & the problem gets bigger & bigger while those that are honest get poorer & more discouraged.
The sad thing is that those that take advantage of the system, don't care & this is normal to them which goes somewhat in line with what I used to say about being normal. Normal is the majority view of those where you live or where you work or way you play.
In other words, in Africa its normal to run around naked & eat bugs or creepy crawly things, in the middle east its normal to eat certain food on certain days because of religous beliefs & to have women's faces covered when outside. In Hollywood it's normal for insecure actors & celebrities to think they are better than other people even though they are putting plastic in every part of their body & sucking fat from the rest. You see, normal is what is accepted by the majority in the area you live.
As far as those that defraud the system & make me pay for their lazy ass lifestyle because it is normal to them, you are pathetic & it's time you get off your lazy butts & do what NORMAL people do, get a job or help somebody in need. You might actually feel good about your miserable life & these thoughts are NORMAL to me.
