We need to grow up
We need to grow up and take responsibilty for our lives. People need to stop blaming others for their mistakes.

the culture
I think it's about time we stop buying the gossip magazines, and look at real news and real things. We never celebrate the life of hero, but if there is a murderer there are so much support opens up right away. Culture which celebrates wrong thing, which understands terrorists, which supports murderers but does nothing for victims that is the culture that will allow those law suits.

blame game
Thank-you for this insight. As a teacher I see this all the time. Parents always blame the teacher or other children for their child's difficulties. But I also feel I can be guilty of this, too. Things that do not go right I find excuses to blame others. This made me think!
