Yesterday in the paper there was a bloke (compulsive gambler) suing a bookmaker for taking his bets and him going bankrupt,
Today there is a woman trying to sue a chap because she was sticking junk mail through his door and cut her hand on the letter box, the other week it was some very obese American trying to sue McDonalds for making him fat , and smokers and drinkers have been known to sue tobacco and alcohol company's.
It always seems to be someone else's fault, no one wants to accept responsibility for them self nowdays, or else see a way to make a quick buck.
Then their is the poor bloke who is looking at a murder charge because he struggled with a knife wielding career criminal who was trying to rob him and her bloke ended up stabbed with his own knife, the world has gone mad.
If I put my life savings on a horse and it lost that is MY fault for being stupid, not the bookies for taking the bet.
If I went shoving unsolicited crap through peoples door and cut myself doing so, that is an accident
If I spent my life shoveling big macs down for every meal I would expect to get fat
If I spent all day smokng then got lung cancer again all my own doing
If I spent all day knocking back alcohol and died as a result, (as my father did) all my own fault
And hell yes I would not care if I killed someone who was attacking me with a fecking knife, they should not have been trying to rob/kill me.
It is a sad world we are living in, and the worst part of it is it is becoming all too normal to blame every one else for our own short comings
