When in doubt, blame someone else.
That seems to be the motto of many people these days. We just don't like to shoulder the blame or take the responsibility for the things we have done.
Here's a story of a man who hit his wife six times as they passed through U.S. customs at the San Francisco airport, causing facial injury. He (and his wife) are now blaming United Airlines for serving the man too much alcohol, which they say caused his violent behavior.
According to the lawsuit this couple has filed: United's conduct was egregious because it knew or should have known that over-serving a passenger alcohol on an international flight would have negative consequences. [United's] conduct was deliberate, reckless, intentional and done with disregard for plaintiffs and all passengers.
yah -- personal responsibility is a thing of the past. That's one thing I'm beating into my children (pun intended!)
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty wild: I beat my wife; it's the airline's fault. Gee, and I thought only politically correct sins could get excuses made this way. Looks like wife-beating can, too.
ReplyDeleteHey, and whom does he blame when he drinks too much from the stuff he buys himself at the liquor store and _then_ hits his wife?
ReplyDeleteI think United Airlines should sue the alcohol manufacturer for making so much of the stuff. And maybe then the alcohol company could sue the grain, sugar, and corn farms.
