Accepting responsibility for your actions

[R6_kid:Me]

Being part of the 'younger generation' I actually have the same view on this topic.

I see a lot of people doing dumb shit and not taking responisibility, or worst still, acknowledging that they did wrong and then proceeding to do the same thing again as if they had never done it the first time.

Some people honestly believe that is just the way of the world and that 'shit happens' - I hope that no one gives them sympathy when 'shit happens' to them, especially if they don't take accountability for their actions.

Id like to hear from the under 30's here

Sorry mate, not my responsibility. Talk to my parents if you want. I want no part in it.

Some young people are great at accepting personal responsibility, some are not.
Just as, some older people are great at accepting personal responsibility...and some are not.

I don't think it is a generational issue, at all.

Its defiantly a generational issue ..our parents didnt have to deal with the things WE do .. its easier now to just sit the little monsters down in front of the TV or computer than to actually PARENT them..


i had boundaries.. very strict boundaries when i was younger .. and when i stepped over them my dad would knock me the fuck back to the right side ..

the upbringing i had was rough, yes .. but it has saved my life ( literally) on more than one occasion ..

do the younger generation have any concept of Right and Wrong anymore?.. is there any respect left? .. there is a freaking Syndrome for everything .. the " my mommy never breast fed me" or "my Daddy never showed me how to ride a bike" or "everyone made fun of me and called me names" syndrome ...


fuck up .. grow a pair and quit whining

im worried about the world to be honest .. 10 billion people where 1/2 of them have the gang mentality.. 5 billion more have zero social skills and the rest could give a fuck either way


im glad i have guns

If the problem is with the youth of today why is this a topic that has been complained about for decades??

I all has to come back to the basics... you do the crime, you do the time.

WHY you do the crime - that's to be address by society at large if it affects society at large, if not, it's over to the person.

I hear prison can be a bad place if Bubba runs out of lube...

Im busy trying to avoid responsibility , every time it goes pear shaped Im responsible ....

Just been to the court here in Japan, for speeding, 37 km over in a 60 and the fine is , 1 month loss of licence ( instant ), Points in the danger range, and a Max fine of 100 000 yen ( 1682.00 dollars, it will be around 70 000 ( 900)

Ive got 1 month to learn a speech ( in Japanese ) for the Judge, and when the court date is set, from that date I cannot drive, untill sentencing ( about a month.

Today was a preliminary hearing

Youff today is expected to take up a far greater burden than my generation was at their age. I wonder sometimes how their shoulders bear up to it.

LOL, we don't you should see all of us slouching around the place!

[DEATH_INC.]

Things have definitely changed, there were lines we knew not to cross, and we knew if we did there were consequences. Those lines are crossed freely now.
I don't blame the younglings though, I believe the responsibility for that goes to the modern parent. All this stupid pc shit about no corporal punishment and stuff. How the hell do you expect some one to learn if you cannot teach them where the boundaries are???? Or when you teach them the only consequence is sitting in the corner for 5 mins???
One day when our society is lying in ruins (should be in a few days time the way things are going...) those people will probably sit back and blame the government for it, because THEY let it happen, and it's not MY fault.
All animals use force (physical punishment) to teach, we are no different, it's nature. Accept it.

How can this be?

According to KB it is NZ that has the most extreme penalties for the most draconian rules and the most over-zealous unforgiving traffic nazis enforcing said rules....

Ya know Im not doing the bible bashing thing. But even the bible that preaches love your brother you see reccomendation for corperal punishment for kids.
NOT beat the living shit but teaching cause and effect.
That entire structure has been removed from our society.
First it was parents, then teachers then the police.

I for one REFUSE to buy into that.
Yea im a mean bastard for making my son walk 6km to school but I bet ya he wont fuck his bike again.

JB obviously claims all those thimngs too...

All animals use force (physical punishment) to teach, we are no different, it's nature. Accept it.

... and for me that... right there... is a the very essence of it. We (society) denies the obvious. We think we are somehow different from other animals in terms of our drives, wants, needs and in this case how we learn.

Pain is a most wonderful teacher. I honestly can't think of a better one. Just a week ago my little boy learned what an electric fence looks like. He knew already, but didn't see it as important enough to keep in mind...

... but he does now!.

A smack on the bum works. Pure and simple.
