[QUOTE="JW IN VA, post: 1468468, member: 21289"] Back then there was this opinion that you were responsible for your actions and looking out for things around you.If a car slid on the ice and hit you,you were questioned about why you were that close to the road when it was slick.If your gun went off in the parking lot and blew out the window,you were questioned about why that gun was loaded and the safety off.Plus,you would be paying for it-not your parents. It was called personal responsibility and it plus common sense is a rare commodity in some circles today. Seems like farmers,loggers,heavy equipment people or anyone else who has to work to keep this country going do have kids who grow up with this idea. I am happy both my children have taught their kids these things along with a work ethic while showing them what a loving ,responsible parent is.They also have jobs which they take seriously and pay their own bills.We're here in a pinch but don't need to worry. End of rant.I just get aggravated with the idea of"it's everyone's fault but mine" or "I should be able to do whatever,whenever and someone else should make it happen". [/QUOTE]
