One Excuse Deserves Another

I'm really sick and tired of idiots.  By idiots I mean people who do stupid things who should know better.

I'm sick of people not taking responsibility for their choices then blaming others for the consequences.

Look, if you are a fairly intelligent person and you make a choice to do something that harms yourself or others as a consequence of that choice, then don't be a panseric wimp and blame someone else.  You made the choice, take responsibility for your actions.

Everybody knows that football is a dangerous sport.  If you don't know that, then you are more idiotic than imagined.  People choose to play football for whatever reason -- knowing there are risks involved.  They might not fully know all the risks but nonetheless choose to play.

So years later when they are suffering consequences of their glory days they become panseric wimps and look for a scapegoat.  They blame the school, the football league, the conference -- whoever they can pin it on.  They sue.  They claim the aforementioned scapegoats knew football was dangerous and still let them play.  Duh! Who doesn't know football is dangerous?  It's absolutely ridiculous.  The sad thing is, they probably win the lawsuit.  That's how messed up our society is.  As if schools, football leagues, football conferences, etc. deliberately harm athletes.  No one forces them to play football. It is a choice.  Choices always come with consequences, whether good or bad.

That's just one example of idiots trying to blame others for the consequences of their choices.  As my wise grandma used to say, "One excuse deserves another."

I could cite a myriad of other examples but I will leave it at that for now.  There are far too many idiots doing stupid things in this world. Far too many people trying to excuse their behavior.  One excuse certainly does deserve another.

That's my two cents.
