exemption mentality

A phenomenon where a person dissociates themselves from bad events that happen in their society, in the hopes that they are going to be unaffected by that event, typically in religious scenarios.

Sarah: Did you hear what happened to Grace? Apparently, she got robbed.
Helen: Yeah, I heard about that. It's that nonsense exemption mentality that led her to leave her car unlocked when there has been a robbing spree.

Exemption From Law Clause

Guys, you really gotta read those terms of service.

Hym "The explicit intent of the exemption from law clause is to prevent you from using false allegations and civil suits to anything that would be considered 'UN-PAYING' me. Whatever happens in response to your failure to adequately credit or pay me with resume until the circumstance that you do anything that could be considered 'UN-PAYING' me. That's what it's for."

Ted: Good point, I am pretty sure there is something about that in the U.S. Constitution.
