Why do so many people look to blame others when they are clearly at fault?

Its called the o-so-wonderfull blame game.  But really, I think its because accepting fault, would then just about force some one to say "I'm sorry" or "yes, I was stupid to do that".  And that just about goes against all of human nature.\n\nWe are going to take the blame for ourselves when the world ends and Christ returns..........\n\nHave siblings?  then you would know how hard it can be to say sorry to them, lol.\n\nAlso, if they do something stupid, like burn themselves with mickey dee's coffee, they will chose to abuse the system, make money, make mcdonalds look stupid, and blame everything on them, rather than admit it and say they were to quick to drink their coffee.

Because good people tend to see the good in others and other people realise this and play them like a fool.

I agree with all of you. People around the world are claiming races, people belonging to a particular religion or culture to be responsible of one-person's (or a group of very few people's) act. Why should any one blame someone else for someones misdeed. There shouldn't be even consideration of the person's race/religion/country/language. Not all the people of a particular group have same thoughts or ways to think. Not everyone acts in the same way in a similar situation.

I don't know why, but it seems that there are many people who simply enjoy hurting others.  I suspect it stems from them feeling powerless and insecure, so they get a small charge to their own egos when they can make someone else feel bad. \n\n There are, also, others who simply take advantage of people - they see goodness and kindness as a kind of weakness they can exploit for their own means.\n\nDon't let this turn YOU bitter, though.  Remember to tell yourself that those people, in the end, will suffer for it when they find they lack solid, real and loving friendships in their lives.

yes i think we should learn a lesson and be hurt first to be able to see what were doin wrong... and people are like that we are all numb when it comes to others feelings, we need to be hit first with a big rock!and you know,people are people,we are all just the same we just hate to admit it!

The reason is because people only care about themselves. This makes it hard for everyone to be treated fair.

Because someone or something has to be blamed so that the guilt will be lessen on their part. It's easy to blame God, it's all His fault...is a quick escape. But don't worry God is innocent. He's not the one responsible for our choices but us alone.

Men and women both have a bad habit of doing this. We all are at blame when something like this happens. If we shift the blame onto someone else we are not getting the insight we need to grow.........

I think its for the same reason people thank God when something goes well. In both cases, they don't want to take responsibility for their actions.

I think everyone does that to an extent. It goes back to not being able to see flaws in yourself too easily. But, as people mature they SHOULD begin to have a better understanding of themselves and therefore require fairness on all fronts.

Exactly, we have become a nation of people who think everything is someone else's fault, especially if it gets us some money. Obviously not everyone falls into this category but far too many do. I think it started with the court system blaming "a bad childhood" for some 18 year old killing some poor dude minding his own business. People know what's right and wrong and they need to have guts enough to admit when they screw up. Okay off the soap box.

well its sometimes difficult to keep our mouth shut when we have certain angers. We just pick on who we think is an easy target while the target should be the one who caused that anger. So no its not right. There's a lot of "social cowardness" going on and the easyest people are usually the victims. Granted its not always easy to address why we do it, but usually a feeling of not having something or a situation under control is the source.

Its in our nature to blame others for things we go through especially when that someone is  God. You need to learn to control your anger. Trust God when you go through trials. When you lose control of a situation let him have control. Some times things wont go the way we want it to and you need to except that fact and move on with life.

I beleive people are trying to find some sort of excuse for everything they do in life, and it is always easy to find some excuse or to blame somebody else. For me, it is really annoying when people put religion in everything they do, regardless of the religion.

Because some people are just plain evil and don't care who they hurt or what they destroy.  Some people look at others as stepping stones to getting what they want.  And if you are in the way .. prepare to be stepped on.
