I use to respect this guy. Now he’s just pablum.
My little brother posted something on Facebook last week that falls right in line with this. It was a Meme that said if conservatives wouldn’t let people abort their unwanted babies then we would have to be responsible for feeding them. It got me wound up and then my liberal siblings threw in and now no one is talking to each other. They think that I’m immoral for opposing their right to kill unborn babies and not wanting to support deadbeats.
I felt that there was more than two alternatives. How about if people who want to have unprotected sex with people they don’t intend to marry take responsibility for their actions instead of expecting everyone else to do it.
Personal Responsibility is absolutely NOT obsolete. The problem is, we’ve given it over to Police, Government & unions. PR is very much alive. We just ignore it.
Yep, I have a couple of lib relatives and we don’t talk politics it’s just easier, they know they won’t change me and I know I won’t change them. :)
We HAVE to start changing minds!
Otherwise we are just going to be plowed-under by products of the public school system + immigrants.
In real life there are no “participation” trophies.
I hear what you’re saying. These two have had over 50 years to change and haven’t so they can stay in their dream world.
“Is Personal Responsibility Obsolete?”..........
Particularly if you are a democratic politician, but more than likely all politicians
What a brilliant idea, give everyone more money every month than the average person pays in taxes every year.
This would bring Lady Thatcher’s comment to life in about three months.
No, it’s actually a biblical mandate to take care of yourself and your families needs, otherwise starve.
How is it that siblings do not have similar moral views?
My kids are split by sex. The boys are conservative and the girls are very liberal. Two of the girls are University of Colorado graduates, that explains their views. The other daughter and her husband are career military. He is a rabid liberal whose parents are conservative. How? Why? They are serving our country but are the biggest hypocrites when it comes to social issues.
Jesus asks if he will find faith on the earth when He returns. One of the core tests of faith is if a person will believe in the Commandments. When they seek to solve a problem in society, can they think of ways to solve it that are in harmony with the Commandments, or must they violate the Commandments to effect their solution?
This is the conflict that socialism seduces people into making: that they want to help people who have genuine needs, and the only solution they can envision is one that justifies violation of the Commands the prohibit coveting and theft. They cannot have faith in charity, and so they must circumvent charity with government coercion and compulsion.
It's not my place to run the trainSeparating responsibility from authority is a cardinal sin of (mis)management.
The whistle I can't blow.It's not my place to say how far
The train's allowed to go.It's not my place to shoot off steam
Nor even clang the bell.But let the damn thing jump the track
And see who catches hell.
Absolutely, well said.
When all of the jobs have been automated. How will we earn a paycheck?
We require mnen to be sexually responsible...some gal is pregnant, and the guy is legally responsible for the next 22 years.
Why is it unreasonable to expect women to act in a sexually responsible manner?
Why do you say that?
At the same time, they were probably screaming “don’t judge me!” at the same time calling you a bigot. Who is judging who, exactly? They always like to throw around the bible verse judge not, lest ye be judged. But who is judging who?
I’ve changed my tactic. Tell them they are free to open their legs or spread their cheeks to anyone or anything that wants in there and decent people have to foot the bill for their diseases and abortions. They are winning all these little battles....but they lose the war.
