and what's the industry standard for acceptability?

I only use this as an example:

Say only 30% of a certain demographic is actively involved in first 10 years of their child's life and another demographic is at 75%....if you were to choose a demographic to have a child with, which logically would you choose?

If you become a single parent and you chose someone from the lower probability demographic should I have more/less/equal sympathy for you if you were to have chosen someone from the higher probability union?

Was there an acceptable trade-off...or just the assumption of an unnecessary risk?

Also, if demand for the lower probability investment decreased...wouldn't that investment need to yield a higher rate of return to have logical people re-invest in them?

Obviously it is up to your personal discretion, but in the case of penny stocks you can also make a ton of money quickly, hence the risk/return model with which they're priced.

As for other situations, much of it has to do with the amount of involvement the victim has IMO. If you're murdered after walking down a street, you have my sympathy. If you're actively trying to make a family work with someone in the demographic you mentioned, and it fails, then you have my sympathy.

If you're speeding on the interstate and get in an accident that takes your life, you still have my sympathy, but if you're speeding and get a massive ticket, I don't care.

It depends on the outcome of the decision IMO, and a decent human being should know whether to be sympathetic or not.
