Who is really to blame for these bad guys?

Believe it or not, the people who spend most of the time with the kids is still the parents...except when parents are working second (afternoon) or third/fourth (evening/night) shifts. Then their kids stay with whomever the parent chooses as caregiver.\n\nSchools spend 7 hours per day, 180 days per year, or 1260 hours per year with the kids. However, there are 8760 hours in a year. This means that schools have the kids for less than 15% of the year. IF the kids are getting enough sleep, that's another 34% of the year they are sleeping. The rest of the time (49%, or 4292 hours) is entirely controlled and supervised by the parents -- either by being there for their children, or leaving them with caregivers (relatives, daycares) of their choice.\n\nOh, and if you're trying to point fingers for failure at women/mothers, perhaps you should look at the missing men/fathers who are not in their children's lives due to:\n--their own choice to abandon their children, or\n--court ordered restraint due to them being abusive, or\n--the mother running due to him being abusive, or\n--the man being in prison, etc.\n\nIt is still rare for courts to award custody to men in divorce cases, although they are wanting to and making more effort to provide equity in custody...wonder why? Hmmm.... And the statistics about failed parenting are based on single PARENT homes... single dads fail just as much as single mothers. There's just more single mothers doing the caregiving out there...\n\nSo you end up with these abandoned, often abused women who must not only try to care for their child(ren) but also work, often 2 or 3 jobs, to provide financially for their kid(s), so they're hardly ever home long enough to really provide parenting beyond food in the fridge...\n\nIf you want to fix things, be a responsible man and take care of your kids, both financially and by giving them positive time to do things with you, get to know you, and learn some values from you.  Even if you don't get along with the kid(s) mother, make yourself a regular part of the kid(s) lives, in a positive way (make it about them, not their mother, when you talk with them). What saves kids is to have TWO parents, who are consistently part of their lives in a caring and nurturing way (what a surprise). If you can't due to court restraining orders... well, you set yourself up for those, didn't you!

Its the man way.  They blame everything else but themselves.  It goes for everything.

Yes and no but mostly no.  Some people that are susceptible to influence are likely to be influenced by almost anything.  There are religious fanatics that have killed others and even themselves; there are violent movies, books, family, and so on.  If we are to blame a video game, what is next?\n\nNow, it is easy to point a finger but that is just an excuse (the Twinkie defense).  There are those that will blame anything or anyone for their actions but themselves and as a society we must question our reactions.  Should we take the word or some psycho freak and blame someone else or make the psycho take responsibility for their actions?  I think you can probably tell where I stand.  If they have that little moral grounding or that shallow of a grasp on reality I think it is indicative of a larger problem, but they should still be the ones to burn, not the games :)

I have never seen anyone blame the man. I tend to see the opposite. "Oh, it's her fault for spreading her legs" etc, that sort of thing.

I'm not sure.  Apparently you are planning to blame America.  Maybe even Bush.\n\nI am getting really sick and tired of being blamed for the woes of the world.\n\nLet's blame this one on the UN.  Okay?

Simple answer... Satan.... He knows that the people who follow god are doing what they are supposed to. He wants everyone and everything in the world to be misrable like him. People who are not strong he tempts and gets them to sin. So blame Satan.

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 think Putin was involved - he's a sneaky little bastard. How long do you think it will be until someone blames Bush?

Pretty sure Alexander Graham Bell is the guilty party. He invented the phone, and he was a man. Enough said.

They are equally to blame for escalating violence.

Just an excuse! Just passing the blame, they are too perfect to admit fault!

Bush is to blame. I'm sure when these people joined the military they did it with the assumption that they would not be sent into harms way unless it was NECESSARY to defend the country. This war was not necassary. (What weapons of mass destruction?) The blood of every dead or injured American soldier and every innocent Iraqi civilian is on his hands.

Those people are ignorant and evil.

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.

NO.  President Bush is just a talking head puppet if you will for forces that control all governments.  I don't think the terrorist identified were responsible or had the resources to pull off an attack like that.  Our government is definitely covering up what happened that day.  There is overwhelming evidence to support that it was an inside job.  I don't think Bush is directly responsible but probably knows what happened.  Any agency or government institution that aids in the cover up or conceals evidence indirectly implies guilt.  They needed a new Pearl Harbor to gain support for there agenda.  Who knows who these behind the scenes people are and exactly what there up to
