You have your opinion and I have mine, and I'm glad you can do sweeping generalisations, I'm pleased for you,. My point is that everybody has what's known as free will, and the ability to think, apparently it's what sets us apart from the animals. So I don't see how poverty, bad housing, poor education, low self-estem, all the usual crap that is put forward as being an excuse for failure to take responsibility for ones actions. And what is it I'm supposed to justify exactly, the fact that I don't approve of people who don't take responsibility for their actions, and want someone else to clean up their mess? Again I make no excuse for my dislike of such people.
