Does the blame fall on the victim for getting raped?
Bizzare.
Yes! It is her fault for dressing so slutty! For being outside passed midnight! She should wear a veil and never be outside alone! Or learn kickboxing and carry mace!
I sentence the victim to 5 years for rape. What an idiot!

Depends on how strong of a person you WANT to be. The act of blaming is seen in different perspectives. For example, I can blame my boyfriend for my bad day, I can blame my parents for faults I have, or I can blame the government for unemployment. Any way you see it, the strongest person will take the blame in one way or another. Not always taking the fault, but asking himself, "What is in my control, and what can I do about it?" That mindset will get you further in life than sweeping things off your shoulders because someone else is to blame, or because you think you have no control. I believe that if an issue arises, the person that causes it is not fully to blame, but rather the person(s) that does not act on the issue to fix it.
But, I also believe that we are all different, and some of us can care less about being strong...which is not a bad thing. That is part of what makes us individuals. We all have different priorities. I have to admit though, it is hard to be a good friend to someone who blames everyone else for their ignorance.

No, it's never good to blame other people for things which you're responsible for. If it's a case where there's someone who's directly causing the problem, no matter what efforts you put forth, then yeah, blame away. But, if it's something you've done, or that your actions have magnified, exacerbated, or otherwise caused...then No...there's no one else other than yourself who can be blamed.

I agree that it feels better ( I know I used to be one of those that blamed everyone but myself for my problems). But I learned the hard way that blaming others for problems that are usually of my own making is never the right way.
Even if someone had a part to play in whatever the problem is, I also have a part in it. Sometimes it's hard to see but everyone has a part in everything they do, say, etc. I am responsible for my own life no one else is. I am responsible for my actions, reactions, words, thoughts, etc no one else is.

No. We have a choice in every problem. The choice is or response. Respond with serenity or hostility. Hostility is fixing blame on someone, whether they are responsible or not. The problem is there and to be be dealt with regardless of who is to blame.
Now don't confuse this with determining the cause of a problem and taking steps to prevent recurrence. That is just being responsible, which leads to serenity.
Placing blame just keeps us form accepting any responsibility, even if the responsibility is just acceptance of a situation out of our control.

Never. Blaming others for your problems gives THEM the power. Take back your power by, not blaming, but examining yourself, the reasons why your choices caused problems for YOU, and then, learn from your choices. Its always easier to blame someone else, but, its always more productive to leave "blame" out of your language and work on your choices.

Blaming others for ur problems is very easy but taking blame of other's problems is just opposite to it. No one can take blame of others problems. And only one i know who does this is GOD. We all simply blame god for everything, which is not rite...

Nope.
People who pass the buck only end up getting kicked in the teeth because they are not living in the real world. Their lethargic, careless, thoughtless, selfish, obsessive, ignorant, attitudes will only send them on the fast-spin cycle straight down the Drain-of-Life.
In the real world, people take responsibility for their actions, and that is how the world goes 'round.

No, people just can't admit they made a mistake or at fault for whatever went wrong or is happening. They blame others.
