YET ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF
blaming someone or something else. Paris Hilton is already doling out her excuses. She needs to learn to "cowboy" up and take some responsibility for her actions. Mel has earned back a little of my respect. At least he admits that he fucked up.--------------------------------
My other topic about blaming others may upset some people but this one has been brewing for a few days now. You heard about the six children killed in an apartment fire recently?? Well, Mayor Daly is blaming the landlord. Daly is saying the landlord is "morally responsible" for making sure those people had electricity. Most apartment complexes like this are owned by one person and run by another, IN MY OWN EXPERIENCES. I know that any time that I have rented an apartment, it said explicitly in the contract that if my utilities were shut off, then I would be evicted. Maybe he was trying to keep 10 children and their "two parents" off the streets by turning his head to the electricity being shut-off. Who knows? And as for the non-existant smoke detectors, well, one wonders how they come up missing ALL THE TIME. Theft? Probably. Did they give them to someone else?? Maybe. Should they have gotten some free ones the last time the fire department gave them out for free??? Definately. Especially if you don't have electric and are burning open flame candles for light. If they didn't know, then they are not the kind of "immigrants" that we want coming to our country.
They are not the kind we want immigrating to the USA. Yep, that's what I said. Go ahead, beat me with the stick . . . . .
are you quite finished now??? Good. Now hear me out.
quoted from the article linked above:
Neighbors were apparently well-aware that electricity to the apartment had
been cut off because the Ramirez family had tried without success to make a
connection in the hallway or an adjoining apartment.
So, what about the neighbors' moral obligation???
I just want to know if the Ramirezs' thought that stealing electricity is okay.
Or that having 10 kids aged from 18 years old to infancy is a good idea when your kids have to work to make YOUR ends meet and even then you can't afford electric.(don't even give me the Catholic BS . . . my aunt and uncle were Catholic and only had 3 kids)
Or how about this brilliant item . . . their KIDS worked at a community center that helped people with their utilities.
Does anyone else think that maybe they were here illegally for 16 years?? Does anyone else want people this ignorant (or well versed in utility theft, whichever way you want to look at it) coming to the US to "contribute" to our society???
Besides, it doesn't sound like the "American Dream" to me . . . no electricity, children working, parents working long shifts thus spending little time actually RAISING their children, who they created proliferately . . . just my own opinion though.
I HATE that 6 children died. I really do. And someone has to be responsible but I am thinking that maybe the responsibility rests upon the parents' shoulders . . . the parents who decided that it was safe to burn candles without a smoke detector, who decided to not try to get help or who decided it was a good idea to come here to live the "good" life 16 years ago.

Drives me nuts when people don't think they need to be accountable for their own actions.
Children fucked up? Must be because there weren't any community centres.
Killed someone while driving drunk? Must be because the bar wouldn't stop serving you.
Something wrong with your life? Don't fret that you're a loser. Find somebody to sue!!
I had ghetto explained to me once. It all makes sense if you think about it - after drinking boon's farm straight from the paper bag and bitching about the world coming down on you when you don't even begin to understand how and why yyou ended up the way that you did.
What do you do?
Some people just are stupid - that's why I'm totally against no child left behind. If they fall behind and can't be rehabilitated, put 'em on a work service.
