When will people start to take responsibility for their own life

mapuc · 04-08-13, 03:35 PM

This is something that have been on my mind for years and after one this situation some weeks ago, who is one of many, I thought that I had to share my frustration

The last thing

A father had accused his mobilphone provide, that because his son had played for 29000 danish kroner (about 5000 $)
NO!! It's not their fault, it can only be the fathers own faul

Here one from my IRL

One of my sisters friend was complaining that there shall be a new McDonald's some hundred meters from her training places(she train 2-3 times/week)

We had off course a discussion about that and I said that she should start to take responsible for her own life and not blame it on other.
Yes I also see commercial from McDonald's, that doesn't make run to the nearest fast food to buy something( If I did that I would be really fat)

this was some of them.

I guess it's more comfortable to just sit there and let other take care of your responsibility and your thinking.

Maybe the McDonalds is a self control type deal for some.

When no one else listens anymore.

Some people are weak and can't watch an commercial and not running down to the store and buy it. That's NOT this companies fault, it is that person who needs to get his/her mentality strengthen.

Many will only do so when forced to.
We, as Humans, always look for the easy way.
Work smarter, not harder. And all that.

Why hunt down food when McD's is just around the corner?

I try to take responsibility, but everyone else keeps screwing me up...

Because McD's is rubbish and tastes like it.

I guess it has not gone a day or two without you haven't read or heard about someone who has sued McD/Burger King because it's their fault they became fat.

NO! It's not their faul.

Me too

But I know that if my visit to our local Burger King was to often I would be really fat.

And I prefer homemade cooking a lot more than fastfood.

People have been blaming other people/entities for their woes for decades if not centuries. It is part of human nature.

It only becomes a problem when governments start listening to them.

I don't know. Every now and then I get a hankering for a Big Mac.
