Accepting responsibility for your actions

**MSTRS:Me** · 7th June 2009, 17:01

Nasty is right. Defining young, for this sort of exercise is all but impossible. I'm 51, I don't think I have a 'old' outlook - but I also can't qualify as young. See where I'm going?
Sometimes what we see as 'dodging personal responsibility' in teenagers is just teenagers doing what they've always done? I'm sure (in fact I know) that I scuttled out of the shit at times when I was a spotty teen, by simply refusing to accept etc...
The other way of looking at this is to realise that boys/girls mature at different rates, but if either is still trying to dodge etc at 25, then there's a major problem.

The fact that you define it as <30 I would like to see the answers myself ... but I also believe that there are alot of older people who have no idea of it and I would love to see them own up to why they don't bother!

I'll let you into a secret - Mstrs (despite no doubt his protestations) is actually taking the piss. This means he is joking around, kidding or being sarcastic. Even he doesn't really believe that he is young. Now he may be young at heart, he may r e a l l y want to believe he is young but he is not. I'll give him middle aged at best.

Older people having no idea of personal responsibility is another thread sorry, this is Frosty's and he qualified it with younger generation. Please keep the thread on topic or I shall have to report you for taking off topic.

Go ahead, seeking clarification .. is rather on topic.

I BLAME THE LACK OF GOOD ROLE MODLES.

I took the law and threw it away
Cause there's nothing wrong
It's just for play
Theres no law, no law anymore
I want to steal from the rich and
Give to the poor

Sha-la-la-la
Sha-la-la-la-la-la

Short term maybee but long term Nope it aint.
One of the people used as examples is walking to school tomorrow so hes got 12km of walking to realise nope taint cheaper to be honest.
The other example --well that might take longer but eventually if ya throw enuff stones ya gonna get caught. Especially if ya skite about getting away with throwing stones.

Is this just an old farts gripe session?

1. It's a bit simplistic to stereotype an entire generation

2. If I was going to play the stereotyping game, I would make the observation that it seems to be sport for old farts (deliberately generalised) to lament the failings of the next generation coming through.
