Maybe her parents are ultra-strict and she never misbehaves in their sight; funny how the worst kids in school were always the ones with the most strict parents.

Or maybe it's just because she has one less rib than men?

mmmm ribs.

I doubt that parenting is the issue, if we're going to toss blame around for somebody's actions maybe we should look at her teachers, or professors or her girl guide troop leaders.

What ever happened to accepting the consuquences of your own actions. She decided to make a pie, and fling it at someone. Thats her decision and nobody elses.

I hate the fact that people are so willing to spread around the blame.

Maybe he wouldn't have become a serial killer if he dad didn't smake him around.

Maybe whe wouldn't dress like such a gutter crawling ho if her mother had set limits.

Its almost as if we're saying that as soon as your parents or teachers or whatever perform an action against you your mind shuts down, and you become slaves to some impulse that was planted there.

We can still make decisions after we leave home or school or church or whatever.

We just don't take responsibilities for our actions because no one expects us to.

Sorry for the derail.

Rant off.
