What a lot of strife stems from in this country is the LACK of personal responsibility.
Everyone wants to blame someone else for their problems or their fault.
Some examples:
Episode: Binge Drinking
Daughter blames mom for not 'educating' her on dangers of drinking excessively. Now that daughter knows, she still does not quit. Idiot.
Episode: Same Sex Parenting
Mother says gays shouldn't adopt children. Mother doesn't even have an adopted child herself. If more hetero couples adopted children we wouldn't have to have gay people adopting. IF people stopped having unprotected sex or being promiscuous, we wouldn't have as many orphans!
Episode: Immigration
Mexicans blame poverty for crossing over into the U.S. If the Mexicans held their government accountable for ruining their economy then they wouldn't need to come to the U.S.
Episode: Gun Nation
Woman talks about how guns kill people. Well if killers didn't want to kill people they wouldn't be using guns to do it would they? Let's blame it on the gun, not the person who pulls the trigger. WOW - Idiot.
As you can see a lot of our social ills stem from the lack of individual responsibility. Take action in your own life. If you want to change the world then start with yourself.
