Harsh toilet-training is overrated

“Tiger Woods doesn't owe me an apology. [...] I am very judgmental about all sorts of things, including Tiger Woods' bad behavior. But that is very different from saying that he somehow owes me an apology. [...] This craze for aimless apologies is part of a general loss of a sense of personal responsibility in our time. [...] If some people don't have the money or the achievements of others, that too is society's fault, in the eyes of those for whom personal responsibility is an outmoded idea [...] — without which a whole society is in jeopardy.”

Sniff ...
Once again I am drawn to the wisdom of Thomas Sowell. It is heartening to have an authoritative scholar's confirmation for one's own conclusions, independently deduced.

How many times must we suffer the craven mea culpa of some asshole caught with his hand, gland, or cigar where it doesn't belong? The only thing they are usually sorry about is getting caught, like any two-bit criminal or privileged VIP.

I don't really give a crap, you know? Unless, of course, he or she had suffered harsh toilet-training; in which case I don't give a flying f*ck. You play; you pay. Am I right?

Next!
