No, it's not wrong, and is, in fact, what's wrong with a lot of people now days. It's always everyone else's fault for the way their lives are turning out. It's the parents fault because of how they were raised. It's the government's fault because minimum wage isn't enough to live on. It's never our fault for being lazy, selfish, uneducated, underappreciated, undervalued, or someone's doormat. Oh yeah, and here's a goody...it's not their fault that they've been selling drugs to support themselves because there's no job opportunities for dropouts! HELLO! Parents, if you don't teach your kids, someone else will. And it won't be your values either. Okay, okay, I'll get off my soapbox now. Just chill. <*)))><

It would be nice if personal responsibility was part of everyones life. Being personally responsible for ones actions, thoughts, things that are said, etc... would be refreshing.
It would mean, people would refrain from saying things that hurt others, it would mean, people would think of the outcomes before participating in something that has consequences they do not want to be apart of, and it would mean that people may retrain their thoughts more towards a positive aspect, so that the first two would be easier to accomplish.

Nope. And the first component of personal responsibility is to treat others who may be different equally and with the same degree of respect that we expect. To expect special treatment or privileges due to one's personal beliefs or lifestyle choices (including religion), or to deny others the same rights, is certainly not accepting personal responsibility- it's greed and selfishness.

I wish more parents would promote that in thier children.
I wish more adults would adopt this way of thinking.
So no it's not wrong, sometimes it pisses people off. No one likes to admit the f-ed up. At least not right away.

Of course it isn't. In fact that's why our world has always been so effed up and will continue to be so. People refuse to take personal responsibility for their own behavior. It's always "somebody else's fault". I mean, think about how many problems would be solved on a global level if on an individual level, people were to take ownership of their own mistakes.

a number of years lower back, invoice Cosby replace into vilified for saying that by the race pimps and a variety of of liberals. that's unhappy that a guy who advocates very own accountability over government dependence is named a traitor and attacked by the left and sadder nonetheless how very almost none of those attacking him will referred to as on the carpet for their bigotry.

No. People these days need to be more responsible.

Absolutely not. It should be part of the public school education starting in kindergarden. We are raising a generation of "it's not my fault" people and we are all going to pay for it greatly.

Only if you demand it of others, but have no intention of doing it yourself, which everyone who preaches on it is guilty of, especially when their favorite phrase is "It's different with me" when called on their own lack of personal responsibility.

Nope ... in fact we need lots more of it. People today are too anxious to blame others for things that are their own responsibility.
