THE BLAME GAME



We all do it, even when we don't realize it, we all play the blame game.

A man cheats on his wife, blames her for not being attentive or sexual enough.

Politicians, being typical human beings, do it: Trump being the latest, blaming Obama for the mess in Iran so he won't have to blame himself for ripping up the nuclear deal.

We, as participants on this forum, do it.

Some of us blame the lack of civility on the Right, yet those same people will call anyone who supports Trump "deplorable" or "morons" and anyone who is a Conservative as somehow being evil and yet we claim the moral high ground and accuse them of killing civility?

Of course the Right does the same thing. Everything that is wrong with America is someone else's fault, so the blame goes to the Muslims, immigrants, socialists, and them damn "Dimocrats".

Incels blame their lack of sex on women. Coal workers blame environmentalists for losing their jobs. Lately, we have come to blame whites for being privileged. Or blaming social media for not controlling their content because we can't blame ourselves for believing in the content they post.

Blame is easy to assign, it is always the other fellow, or sometimes it is circumstances, or fate, or bad luck. We lose money at a casino, we don't blame our going to the casino, we blame bad luck. We get obese, we don't blame our eating habits, we blame the fast food industry. 

And on and on it goes.

So, simple question of the day:

WHO DO YOU WANT TO BLAME TODAY?

Don't blame Snowy for the emotions this thread may elicit
