Blame Culture

We live in an age, where anything bad that happens is always someone else's fault, and generally where there is a blame, there is a claim. The Tv is awash with adverts for claims companies. Can't an accident ever just be an accident? That humans can't be perfect everytime.

Take for instance some kid who got really drunk and fell off a cliff. The parents are blaming everyone but their son. Their son, chose to go out. Their son, chose to get drunk. Their son, chose to go to those cliffs.

What about that kid who got sucked down a pipe in some pool in Thailand. The kid was a moron. He opened a grill over the vent to try and retrieve his google. Common sense would tell you that was dangerous. Yet, he still does it, and guess what, another death. Oh my heart bleeds for these idiots.

Yeah it sucks that someone dies, and of course it's heartbreaking for those who knew the kids, but comeon... These kids died through their own hands, and to try and lay the blame on someone else is just wrong. When there is blame, there is a claim, and guess what? A lot of compensation.

It's pathetic. Can't we ever be allowed to be responsible for our own mistakes?
