What is it about this country that seems to encourage people to take credit for everything and responsibility for nothing? Sometimes I just get tired of hearing excuses for people's actions.
If someone is lazy or can't hold down a job, it's not their fault - they had a hard life. A guy shoots a politician in the head, but it isn't his fault - It's Sarah Palin's (or Republicans in general) for encouraging people to carry guns. Kids are fat, but it isn't the parents fault, it's McDonalds for putting toys in Happy Meals.
There will always be contributing factors pertaining to the way people behave, but the bottom line is this - we all have free will and we are all ultimately responsible for the decisions we make. Maybe if we held people more accountable for thier actions instead of making excuses for them, the world might be a better place.
And for the record - I can't stand Sarah Palin, and I ate Happy Meals all the time and didn't get fat til I was 21. Maybe someone should ban beer in college.
