Why take responsibility for your actions?
There are so many other things that are REALLY to blame...
Rock music, teachers, TV violence, rap music, video games, peers, spanking your kid, not spanking your kid, the guy @ the drive-thru, your boss

Speaking of which, Clinton made HUGE strides in teaching kids that denial is the best way to go. You aren't guiltyunless someone proves it, etc. OJ didn't help either. It's epidemic. It's INSANE these days what people will do in front of people and then turn around and say "I didn't do that" (I'm not talking about in court, even little stuff). It's scary.
But it does start in the home. If kids are held accountable in the home, then those sick, mixed up signals they receive through the media will be less damaging.

RE: accountability
Texas is about to put an end to one of the most blatant abuses of the legal system you can ever imagine....
Currently, a homeowner in Texas can shoot an intruder in their home only when a reasonable attempt to flee the home is not possible. Due to the way current laws are written, this means that a homeowner could be sued by the intruder or intruder's family if the homeowner defends his/her home and family.
Currently before the state legislature is a bill that would allow a homeowner to defend their home without any prerequisite to flee and would also protect the homeowner from any resulting lawsuits. The bill is expected to pass the house and senate with little opposition.
I find it hard to believe that we even have to pass a law that protects someone from being sued by someone who intended them harm in the first place. As far as I'm concerned, you forfeited any legal protection when you showed up inside my house without my invitation.

RE: accountability
Lord how I wish Washington wasn't such a bleeding heart libral state. I can't even shoot someone that's in my house unless they also have a gun and I 'feel my life is threatened'. And if I do shoot them they have to be in the house, not on the property or even half way inbetween, but INSIDE the residence. What Kinda crap is that?

RE: accountability
I love it when I hear someone (regardless of age) whining about "fair." My response is, "if life was fair, we'd all be summering with the Rockefellers in the Bahamas. It ain't, we aren't, so get over yourself and deal with it."
I don't tend to hear it again..
