[quote name='cindersphere']You know what,

that. I am sick and tired of this "age of no repercussions".

20 years ago you could

ing get lost in the country, give everything up and start new. Today your lucky if you can buy a candy bar and not get noticed.
In terms of other areas, I am

ing glad that a woman can get an abortion, instead of dealing with the consequences Cough back alley abrotions that killed countless women in the previous decades.
Fast food is great, however when looking for culprits fast food addiction pails in comparison to the weight that comes from the average sugared drink, like say juice (leading cause of infant obesity) or say processed meats like lunch meat, hot dogs, ground beef, really anything that has been treated in some way (side note a friend of mine worked in a slaughter house, tongue is the cleanest meat in terms of bugs that are present in meat but not deemed a contaminate).
As for bankruptcy, laws since the nineties have made it harder for people to frivolously declare it, bringing more and more repercussions to the borrower.
As nicely as I can put this, you want to live in an antiquated fantasy land, society has only gotten more strict and forced people to pay for their actions. 60 years ago pillars of society beat their wives, people could kill/beat/hang homosexuals and African Americans without impunity. Hell women, who were molested by fathers were called liars and put on medication, being labeled from then on as crazies. Damn, before 3 strikes you could forge checks and not get a life sentence, not the case now.
Hell no there are more repercussion today then ever before. Lastly, it costs more to kill a criminal than to imprison him, and I glad this is the case because one wrongly executed man makes us all murders because we supported the system that allowed it.[/QUOTE]
I should have stated that human nature has not changed, the majority hardly ever takes responsibility for their actions, it has always been this way. But in this time there is so many different avenues of media to complain, blame, and shift responsibility it is ridiculous. It gives a voice to the various nutballs who are then picked up by major media.
Just sit and watch the news for an hour, and count how many times someones negative actions are vindicated by the news because the blame could theoretically be shifted to someone else.
Such as getting fat from mcdonalds. No it could never be the person enjoying mcdonalds every day's responsibility to eat moderately, lets blame mcdonalds for offering such unhealthy food.
What the person got drunk at YOUR bar and had a dwi accident? Well YOU shouldn't of let them drive, Mr. Bar owner, you may be responsible.
Ok, let's pretend to give you the abortion point. How many women wouldn't of gotten an abortion in a back alley though? Its OK to allow women to kill their unborn children, they just wanted to enjoy sex, without the strings, right? (pssst this is where they arent taking responsibility for their actions. Any guy who abandons the responsibility of what he did is just as guilty) The typical result of unprotected sex is pregnancy, to not take responsibility for the human being you created is GASP irresponsible.
I love your defense of the murder of what would be children, in the same post as your attack on the murder of a possibly innocent convicted murderer.
All of this spreads, and is given voice by common media to be OK to blame someone else.
