Do you find that people blame things on other people

I blame people for their own actions, period. If someone causes harm to me or someone else, I blame them. I don't blame them for harm someone else caused using their website, or their ideas, or after having watched them on television... unless they were directly saying "Go do this."

This issue is so common, and I'm so glad to see you started this discussion. I see everything exactly as you do. Society today just wants to shift blame because nothing is ever anyone's fault! I'm from a family of six children, and we're constantly blaming things on each other! I try so hard to be the "upright" one and say when it's my fault. I try to be an example to my many younger siblings, but it's so hard! The current trend is to push things off on others. This is the wrong way to do things. If you do something that wasn't very smart and blame the Internet, a website, or whatever for it, it's no longer your own problem - it's everyone else's too! As far as MySpace getting sued, I hadn't heard about it specifically, although I'm a member there also. It's pretty sad that someone would find a cause to blame something on a site like that. I think it all boils down to the fact that we don't want to admit when we're wrong, just like men don't want to stop to ask for directions when they're lost (LOL). I can complain about this issue all I want, but I'm human enough to admit that I do exactly the same thing. The important thing is that you and I definitely agree on this issue!

Oh, I didn't know myspace was getting sued. That's something new. Well, People keep blaming everything on other people. I guess a lot of times, we don't sit down and ponder where exactly went wrong..

I think you are right. No one takes responsibility for what they do themselves...or what could have just happened. They look for someone to blame! That's why the courts are filled with cases that are just pure nonsense! And wasting the tax payers bucks!

Yes, people have that tendency all the time. I know my husband and I are the worst at it with each other. We never can just really sit and listen to what the other one has to say. It's always, you do this or you do that and always gets turned around. We are working on that though. I do take blame when it comes to other people though, but my husband and i are very strong willed and stubborn. LOL! Especially when we know that we are right and the other is wrong. God bless

That is because no one has to take responsibility for their actions anymore. There is always a loop hole, a medical condition (never heard of before the incident!), a blame of someone else, someone else's fault, on thing or another, and they get off the hook of responsibility. Sad but true.

Hi,there! I can understand what you mean by that.I do realize nowadays people sometimes blame things on other people.It happens in every country.I think it's because sometimes we're just not that brave to undertake the responsibility.We're afraid of the results.However,that's not a good way to solve the problem.It's better for us to learn to undertake the responsibility whenever there's sth wrong.It's a nice merit and it helps things develop in a correct direction:) Thanks for the discussion and have a nice day^_^

Yes, people are often quick to place blame when something goes wrong. It gives some comfort to be able to have a reason for something, and to be angry at someone or something. People often blame the wrong person or thing, when sometimes they need to take responsibility for themselves and their own lives. Then again, sometimes blame is harmless. If it helps a person get through a hard time, and doesn't cause any harm to the recipient of the blame, then there's nothing wrong with it. But misplaced blame can prevent us from getting to the real root of the problem.
