Poor you. It is not surprising that criminals, deviants, and unstable humiliated people populate every community. There is inequity in the world. If people can't find a purpose or acceptable identity in their lives, then drug & sex addiction, magical thinking, and exploitation of others provide some pleasure and sense of control. Meanwhile, it also should not come as any surprise that individuals in a society can learn how to play along and give the appearance of `normal'. The popular use of the Internet simply brings a little more in to the light what was always there: Lots and lots of troubled and mentally-ill people. It's important to make people look at it.
