There are many stupid people in this world. Quite often they end up getting themselves into mischief or hurt and expect someone else to bail them out.
I recall a time in Portsmouth, when a 15 year old was breaking into a community centre and fell through the sky light. He was injured but not seriously. Was he marched to his parents and forced to apologise?

Hi all /me waves
I will likely be quite controversial at times, thought I better keep it mild to start with Desperate for what I can improve and suggestions etc. I intend to rip a news article apart for each post and then link it to how we can use it in poker

Congrats icequeen, i don't read most blogs, but i do look forward to reading yours. your first one was a good one, and it says the truth, i've seen that kind of thing happen. lady buys a coffee, spills it on herself, and gets 2 million dollars in a lawsuit, for being stupid. like when i was a kid, you went out, you played, you got hurt, you cryed, you came home, now your parents sue the homeowner cause he has a pothole in his driveway, where you don't belong. good luck icequeen

You are correct in saying that we live in a blame society and this transcends into poker as well. I always blame other people for a bad beat but most of the time it was my own fault

Hello IQA,good to see you will be putting together a blog for us and will be interesting to see what you have in store for us. Living in the UK you see the 'blame someone else' society at work everyday so it will be good to see what your opinion is. Good luck.

Thanks guys, reassuring replies
Klash it winds me right up, being a teacher I see it so much with the kids.
Things like when children have misbehaved so much they can't go on the school trip so their parents take them out of school for the day and take them to the same place etc.
Teaches them that they don't have to be responsible

Wow - fantastic first blog!
I loved it, I was just discussing with my wife, earlier tonight, about how much we both hate the lack of personal accountability / responsibility in today's society.
It makes me sick.
I can forgive any transgression, any act someone commits, I don't judge on anyone and I can look past all manner of f**k ups.
but I if someone has an excuse, some way of pushing the blame to someone/something else.. Jesus f**king christ, god help them from my wrath and fury.
Incidentally - as you also touched on here, this is why I get sooo f**king angry towards 'rigtards' on this site..
It is the epitome of lack of accountability -
People just refuse to own the fact that they have a gambling problem, or that they're not as good at poker as they think they are, or any other reason they might be losing money playing this game. Instead they come up with the most insane b******t imaginable, to build a scenario where they aren't accountable for their losses.. Instead it's the site forcing them to lose, or even crazier s**t about how donks/fish ALWAYS hit their hands. Of course they don't; they're losing players - all you need to do is take the effort to look up their stats to see they're losers - massive losers, that just happened to get lucky in one hand..
Anyway, I'll stop ranting on that. Just wanted to say absolutely fantastic post: much love to you for writing it. You really hit a subject that is close to my heart - whatever you are in life, whatever your issues, whatever you character flaws and whatever you're good at, your positive character traits - f**king own it. Own it all; the good, the bad and the ugly, it's all you and it's all OK so long as you're willing to own it..
As soon as you start denying yourself, you have no integrity any more, you're just a pathetic, delusional loser.

I love your first venture into the world of blogging and hope that more and more people aspire to the principle of self responsibility in this world of it's not my fault. It's one of my favourite subjects and hope that you continue your A* performance as time develops. Good luck with it and hope it all goes well.
