Fido and people like Fido are a big part of the problem, they never want to hold individuals accountable for their actions... they prefer to celebrate the criminal and punish the law abiding citizenry.
Can a liberal be rehabilitated or are they too far gone to be considered human beings?
Nothing is more pointless than individual accountability... What has worked and what we still have in many places in the world is group responsibility... If you screwed up, your whole group might pay the price, and it is out of such regard for social behavior, doing unto others that the notion of Ethics as an abstraction was born... You look at what happens in reality, is that the groups of wrong doers are still punished... Blacks all pay the price for black crime and the perception that they are given to criminal behavior... Most are not, but our attitude and descrimination fuel resentment...And, this is unfair because they do not have group authority as reigned when group responsibility was common... They suffer the stigma without having authority or any measure of control over their own, and this is very wrong... And ineffective since it gives all individuals the sense that they are descriminated against as a group, and that it is their group standing against all others...
The pointlessness of individual responsibility is that it totally ignores the facts and event that go into every individual's make up... No true individual can be shown... We are all a product of our cultures... We all buy off the rack, and all follow the fashion of the day as though we have a choice... Yet; in the teaching of individualism, and in the cutting off of people from any support structure of group identification you are setting people up as victims, and for lives of lonliness and misery... Even when individuals do respond as individuals should, and resist the group by standing up for themselves- as happened in Columbine Colorado, and when they lay dead, the news and legal idiots still want to find some responsible party...
Ask the question: Does that change the situation, or prevent it from happening again??? Does killing some black animal in a Mickey D's stop it from happening again??? No one is getting at the cause, and idiots are produced faster than they can be locked up or killed, and no one is fixing the situation that produce such people because they are so concerned with individual responsibility to look any further... You are treating symptoms rather than the underlying illness...It does not work... It robs the society of resources... It is unfair to the vast majority of ethnic groups and encourages resentment and yet, You and others like you persist in failed thought and method on the subject... Crime is a group problem that has always had a group solution...
