Just because your decision had a reason does not remove your responsibility.

really? i always feel like punching the people that just stand around watching bad things happen without interfering. they are not equally responsible but they are responsible for not improving the situation.

Wait.  So now even if you DON'T make a decision, you're responsible?

And tell us what YOU did, hero.

did i SAY the victim was responsible for getting raped? NO! i said she was responsible for actively 'cathing his eye' that is all.

There is no fucking difference.



Word.  Same thing.

And how did she "actively" catch his eye?  I don't get that part.

the actively part was my misconception of what you meant with cacthing his eye and what caused my response of "yes."
I now realize i was being very dense there.
let me explain with another example:
if i walk in a dark and unsafe street and get mugged i am responsible for walking there, let me explain further:
i am responsible for the wear and tear i am inflicting on the street, i am responsible for breating the air there, i am in no way responsible for getting mugged. i could walk there juggling bars of gold(i couldn't for i am not that strong and i do not own any gold but thats beside the point) buttnaked and too drunk to notice the "mug me" note tacked to my back and it still wouldn't be my fault.
same point.

i apologize for the misunderstanding.

there is a difference between not acting and not choosing, you can choose not to act. I'd either slap them for being unable to help or for being able to help but not willing. either way they need a wakeup call.

i once walked away from 3 or 4 guys beating up a tourist, i hope i'll never be that weak again.

Crap.  Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse...Sophistry.

So you demand things of others that you can't or won't do on your own.

This guilt trip of yours explains this thread, anyway.

fixxed.


demand? no, prefer? yes.
I don't have the authority to demand anything.

This guilt trip is one of the reasons why choice, responsiblity and free will interest me, so... yeah its one of the causes of this thread.


The sun is almost rising here so i'm going to get some sleep, thanks for all the responses.

Duuude.  :lulz:  I must be damned bored to keep typing in this thread.

Regret, you chose fucked up examples to explain something that's patently wrong when applied to those very same examples.

You cannot put blame OR responsibility on someone who survives tragedies.  Period.  E/O/T

This is why I never trust anyone who can't construct and type a grammatical sentence.

QuoteI now realize i was being very dense there.

Yes.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

this serious thread was specifically created too prove that i hate you, now go away.



worse, i had an actual discussion....  :cry: i hate it when people still disagree with me when i stop talking. besides i dont have a car.

other example: your best friend has been depressed lately and wants to kill himself.
You decide to tape him to a chair and feed him antidepressants(hmmm chocolate) 'till he gests better.
Result: you mistreated your best friend but you kept him from making a mistake.

My opinion: You should apologize for the ducttape-incident.

PS. this opinion pissed off my niece... she had a suicide intervention thingy a few years ago.

Are you 14? Seriously.

When you go to college, take an ethics course.

Then come back and try to have this insipid discussion.

Oh, yeah, totally, she's TOTALLY responsible for being ALIVE and having a VAGINA. SHE WAS ASKING FOR IT!

Jesus, can you please just go away now? We already HAVE a 221.
