Some people will always lay the blame for their own shortcomings at the door of someone or something else :roll:
I do agree that we live in a society that has learned not to take full responsilbility for its own actions. In some ways society is so liberal that it lets this happen.
While I’m all for liberalism I do believe that each person is or should be responsible for their own actions as long as they are of sane mind.
Recently I have had a change of heart about a certain issue that outlines my point. There is an ongoing campaign for the law to be changed around paedophilia (forgive me if I’m repeating something off another thread). I have always been against naming and shaming as I have always seen it as a mental illness. Lately I have thought however that the person had a choice to either not commit or to commit the offence, the child however didn’t get that choice. Paedophiles need to take personal responsibilty and not commit offences on children purely because they get an urge. I don’t mean to open up a can of worms with this statement, I was purely using it as an example.
