Who To Blame For My Troubles.

If a man cuts his finger off while slicing salami at work, he blames the restaurant.

If you smoke three packs a day for 40 years and die of lung cancer, your family blames the tobacco company.

If your neighbour crashes into a tree while driving home drunk, he blames the bartender.

If your grandchildren are brats without manners, you blame television.

If your friend is shot by a deranged madman, you blame the gun manufacturer.

And if a crazed person breaks into the cockpit and tries to kill the pilot at 35,000 feet, and the passengers kill him instead, the mother of the deceased blames the airline.

I must have lived too long to understand the world as it is anymore. So, if I die while my old, wrinkled butt is parked in front of this computer, I want you to blame Bill Gates...okay?

    I understand completely, Nunn. You are not to blame for anything, and neither am I. If I partake of Anheuser-Busch's products, and then get behind the wheel of a car, I am not to blame! Bud is, and GM is, and Aarco is! Not me!

    Remember the jockey Shoemaker? He messed himself up while driving drunk & then sued the State of Kalifornia.

    I just can't believe some of the things people try to get away with. I always thought that nobody takes care of you except YOU! I guess responsibility for your actions has gone by the wayside. The attitudes Nunn posted are part of the reason gun owners are always on the hot seat. He!!, if you aren't responsible for your misfortunes something must be to blame.

    You can't cure stupid, you have to kill it.

    I can't believe the manner in which automobile manufacturers are marketing their products to specifically target those that would get behind the wheel after a beer or two. I think we should enforce strict vehicle registration laws and drivers' licensing (not to mention encouraging driver safety courses). Can't you just imagine the impact it would have on the number of people affected by drunk drivers? If it would only save just one child it would all be worth it.

    Good point Idsman, I'd also like to add that cars that look dangerous (i.e. pointy fronts or scary bumber stickers sayings) should be banned because they don't have any legitimate uses.

    oh yes and all cars should have to have a goviner installed and have it set to limit the max speed to 65 mph or whatever the highest speed limit in your state is and have a max of a 10 gallon gas tank cause you just dont need to be able to go that far on a single gas tank.

    I Just blame my Ex-wife! I think she's to blame for all the worlds trouble??
    As far as new cars, what is the idea behind the blue headlights??

    I have been told they are a safety feature?? Like it's really safe when you cant see where your going!!

    Yeah, blue lights are a safety feature just like having 6 inch wide tires stretched onto 8 inch wide rims makes you corner better...oh wait, maybe I'm wrong...

    I'm told xenon lights are brighter than halogen, was thinking of switching my bulbs. My car won't handle the newest brighter lights though, something about the technology not fitting my poor ol 97 Grand Prix. But apparently, I might be able to find some xenons to fit it. It's Greek to me.

    I have a mirror in my office, when a client gets all hung up telling me how everything is someone else's fault, I invite them to look in the mirror and tell me how they ended up being a client. They usually get the point from that.

    Im just going to put in my 2 cents now. People are too sue happy. Remember the lady who blamed Mickedees for her coffee beeing to hot. What is that? Coffee is sapposed to be hot. How are you going to blame and sue Ronold for your stupidity. Its not their fault she is an idiot.

    And the jackazz who broke into some guys house and happen to hurt himself in the process. How is that the homeowners fault? It's not the homeowners fault the criminal is clumsy. How can the criminal sue for that?

    I just think people are trying to get rich at anyone's expence and it makes me sick. Mabey I can blame all criminals for making me sick and disgested and sue them. Theres an idea but I would be just like these morons.

    I have been married long enough to know how to accept responsibility and/or blame.

    About once a week, I have to apologize for and accept the blame for everything that has gone wrong in the world, from the Crimean War to the present date.

    Nunn,

    Only the Crimean War, you're getting off easily. Apparently I must have helped hang Christ upon the cross.

    the problem as I see it is that this world in all of her glory and efficiency has lost the thing most needed in an enlightened society--common sense. Judges rule-Lawyers interpet--and juries render a verdict. but still--no common sense is applied. humbly submitted for your consideration.
