I think the failure to accept responsibility (for self and others) is the most childish attitude/behaviour that one can adopt.  This is becoming more and more common and is the root cause of many problems being seen today.  People are happy to blame others, the government or even society in general for their own actions and as a result, nothing is done to correct the wrong being done.  
 

Hey Nic,

Good to hear from you bro! Although I'm not completely sure how you got onto this topic, I would say that I completly agree with you. i.e. If you are breaking into someone's house, trip on their skateboard and break your arm, you really shouldn't be allowed to sue the house owner for the negligence of leaving out the skate board.....but this actually happens!

My personal thoughts why people are more and more less willing to take responsibility for their actions are wide ranging, but one of them is the general break down of 'the family'. The following is a generalization, I realize there will be a million exceptions.

It's well documented that divorce stats are going up constantly, often leaving mothers with a number of children to bring up by themselves. I have a huge respect for single mums as I can think of no greater (and more exhausting) task then trying to run a house hold, cook, pay bills, clean, raise kids and then work in attempt to cover all these expenses on a single wage....

As a result of this business (and plain exhaustion) though, often despite the most sincere efforts, I think children are left without that male role model that they can aspire to be like and often without the disciplinary figure that models and defines what it is to take responsibility for your own actions.

That said, I've got a number of friends who only have one parent (whic is more common nowdays then two) and they are outstanding people. As I said, I'm using a broad paint brush here.....

Obviously there are a number of external factors that contribute greatly such as the judicial, educational and law enforcement systems. Most of which continue to be watered down.....

Thanks for your thoughts Nic!
