    What the HELL
    Is going on in this country?
    When did it become acceptable
    To blame other for your actions?

    " It's not my fault I hit her!
    She makes me so mad
    And knows how to push buttons."

    Why do people get so mad
    When they get arrested
    Doing something
    they KNOW is illegal?

    " It's not my fault I drove drunk
    And killed an entire family.
    The bartender let me leave."

    This is just ridiculous!
    The courts are clogged while
    Jails overflow
    And criminals go free.

    "It's not my fault I'm fat.
    McDonalds didn't tell me
    Their food was unhealthy."

    Parents don't discipline kids
    And let them run free.
    Then proclaim disbelief
    When little Johnny ends up in prison.

    "It's not my fault I shot up my school.
    My parents didn't tell me it was wrong
    And the bullies teased me."

    I don't want to be trite,
    But if you do the crime
    Be ready to do the time.
    Your actions are your responsibility.

      Get off the soapbox before I kick it from beneath you.

    Its not polite to play 'hide the IQ' with a bunch of selfless teenagers ooglin over your every word. You know the majority of us are either liberals, radicals or hardcore abstract thinkers.

    This would speak to all of them.

    Only the lawyers and republicans would plug their ears.

    Its alot more fun to be alone with everyone disagreeing with you.

    I wouldnt' waste your time writing something unless you know its going to piss someone important off.

    But I'm not asking you to be like me, either

      Well, this is right on the money. Take responsability for your own action.
    The truth shall set you free.

    We have become a society that allows people to blame there issues on society. There are to many new conditions that allow people cop out.

    You have hit the nail on the head. What the hell is wrong with this country?

    Great write


    Respect and Admiration

      ... I have to give you two thumbs up for this... first poem of the night that did not bring a tear from me... I think for a rant it is pretty well written like really well written... when I start writting a rant I do not even let my thoughts gather into something like this... I mean yeah sometimes the thoughts just manage to come out just right and make sense but most the time it is just words... I want to give you a thank you for pointing out what is wrong with the society we live in... thank you for this... everyone is blaming everything on somebody else now a days... it is like we all have grown into Adam and Eves when they were tempted by the snake and tried to explain it all when God had told them not to eat from the forbidden fruit... thanks for this for real from the heart

      Amen

    you explained society in genereal perfectly
    its very true i for one totaly believe that a parent is responsible for their child
    however as an adult you should definately have by then put all the knowledge your parents have taught you into effect
    dont do the crime if you cant do the time

      Absolutely!! There must be some one else to blame.
    Another blatant example of this is law suits in this country.

    Someone doesn't look where there going and trips; "Who can I sue!"

    A stupid person rides in a car and puts hot coffee in her lap and is outraged when she gets burned and guess what? Yep she sues AND WINS!!!

    Glad you got that off all of our chests!

      I have to agree 100% with this write. It irritates the heck outta me too when people blame others for their own actions.
    I like the different events you chose to add in this and the style of your writing.
    It gets your point across and leaves others saying "Yeah, You're Right".
    Great Write!

      Right ON! Yes, our world is that of blame someone else for the bed you sleep in isnt it? I think it all started with that "Oooops, I spilt hot coffee in my lap, now I am gonna sue you." thing. Very good rant Traci. I liked it. Have a good one and keep smilin'

      I agree with you one million percent.
    People need to take responsibility for there own actions.
    It is so easy to blame others and get away from it.

    It's not Mcdonalds fault that people are fat they have the choice to eat there or not.
    They know it's not good for them.
    People killing people
    we as human know what is right and what is wrong.
    Kids killing kids in the schools is not the parents fault not the music artist that this country likes to use as a scapegoat.

    It is really a shame that we don't step up to accept what it is...and live with the reaction of our actions.

      Traci you did it again! I agree with so much of your anger. the man who hits his girlfriend/wife cause he cant handle her, people who drink and blame the bartender, the mcdonalds cases, and the children doing criminal activity. all well pointed and i FEEL your anger big time! this is another very important piece and you make me proud to read it. I'm thanking you for this, thank you,

      This piece seems to be more of a rant than anything. Don't get me wrong; I completely understand why you're so angry at society's ridiculous tendencies. Responsibility is a hard quality to possess and not many people are willing to face the truth.

      I like this, it's something I suppose I can sortof relate I know alot of people that say stupid [censored] when they do something they shouldn't do and get caught.... and try to play it off like it's not their problem

      Grrr is right! I hate that our society has taught us to blame others instead of being grown ups and taking responsibility for ourselves.

    You forgot to mention the people that run up all sorts of credit card debt and then blame the credit cardcompanies for sending them the cards!

    It's hard to teach your kids to be responsible when society makes it acceptable to blame others.

    A great rant!
