Quote:Following your reasoning, if the bank robber and the get-away driver bought ice cream cones for a bunch of kids, the kids are obviously responsible for the robbery. They're certainly benefitting from it.
I disagree. The person who drove the get-away car assisted the bank robber in the commission of a crime. If I help you do something wrong, I share some of the responsibility. Have you never heard of someone being charged with being an accomplice?
Quote:I don't think anyone should try to break up another person's committed relationship, but I also don't think they're responsible for maintaining the relationship.
I think if a person knowingly engages in an affair with a married person, they
are contributing to the breakdown of the person's marriage.
The bottom line for me is that I, personally, have more respect for someone who says, "I had an affair with a married person. We were
both wrong to do that," rather than someone who points to the married person and says, "
He (or she) was the one who cheated. Don't look at
me!!," which seems like a weasely way to let themselves off the hook. I'm more impressed when someone owns up to their share of the responsibility.
