Phaedra Wrote:If someone is mugged, do you blame them for carrying around a wallet? If someone is hit by a drunk driver, do you blame them for driving in the first place? If someone's house is robbed, do you blame them for having nice things?
We had a long thread on that. Answer is: partially. For they are partially to blame
When someone is waving around they are at partial fault when they get mugged for it. That isn't saying the mugger shouldn't be dealt with or that the "victim" (nobody walks away from torture unchanged) should be penalized for its occurrence... but he is not faultless who writes a book detailing how to steal that book and then titles is 'steal this book!'.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
