Entry: RANT! I have to RANT! Wednesday, October 04, 2006



Mark Foley claims he was molested as a teenager.  So what does he do?  He becomes a U.S. representative and sends "lurid" emails to young boys, supposedly while he was drinking.

Charles Carl Roberts was despondent over the death of his premature baby nine years ago.  So what does he do?  He walks into a school room and executes five young girls and then kills himself.

Now, I'm sorry people, but I don't care what trauma you've been through in your life. You still make your own choices.  And blaming something from your past does not justify this type of behavior.

Jesus H. Christ!  If every person who had a traumatic childhood went out and killed someone or became a child predator or a child molester or mother killer or father raper, can you imagine what would happen to our society? 

By that justification alone, I should be able to rob banks, kick dogs and little children, run over pedestrians who take too long to cross the street, shoot my next door neighbor and expect to be forgiven by all ... because I didn't have a wonderful childhood.

I just have no patience or understanding of this way of thinking.  Nor do I feel sorry for those who claim they are oppressed, they have no chance, they are forced into a life of crime and violence. Get real!

How much more do you want?  Nothing in this life is going to be handed to you, no matter what you think your deserve.  You're given many more opportunities than the average American female.  It's all in what you do with those opportunities.  Look around.  Others have made it.  Get off your lazy butt and do something for yourself!

And shooting something does not count!

I agree 110%!

Great post!

If we had the same attitudes, can you imagine all the havoc we could wreak? ;)

I agree. We are awful short on personal responsibility these days.
