James, or is it Denise, we never know since you two never sign your e-mails, 
you are making a major leap and reframing.

1.  "shit happens" is not synonomous with "wallowing in it."

2.  "shit happens" is not synonomous with "there's no point."

I'll break it down for you, "shit happens" means exactly what you said about 
beans or cabbage or whatever the heck your favorite veggie was.  It means, 
simply put, that it is unexplained, there is no one or thing to point a 
finger at and you move on.

3.  "shit happens" does not mean "throw 2 steaks on"

So, to break it down even more, it doesn't mean you give up, but yes, quite 
frequently it does mean there is nothing you "could" have done.  No it 
doesn't mean there is nothing you "can" do once "ship happens."

Like I said, you have a very pissy view of people!  If everyone doesn't 
immediately toe the line with your opinion they are quitters or some other 
negative label *you* choose to apply to them, which, btw, doesn't mean you 
know what the hell you're doing when you apply the label.  It simply means 
that to suit your parameters of the world, you *need* to label those who 
don't conform to your narrow view point into little boxes.
