E.g. Trump, Millennials, stereotyping, etc.

  • No, that would make me a victim. I take responsibility for my problems, because it was my choices that led to them. Ok, some things are out of my control, but not that many. If I had an important appointment somewhere, and there were protesters blocking the roads and I was either late or had to cancel, then I would blame them.

    Hmm. Blame them for what? Anyway, you're right it does make one look victimised. There will be better ways to deal with ones problems than blame gaming.

  • For blocking the roads. That's happened here are few times over the past year or so. Nothing against the protesters except they block roads and stop traffic. I do have to say that I'm proud of the Nashville protesters. Even though that have blocked the interstates and the roads downtown, they have all remained peaceful, no riots have broken out. The police here even protect them and bring them hot chocolate if it's cold.

    It's hard to blame anyone using their democratic rights, even if we don't agree with whatever they are protesting against. I can't say I haven't felt sorry for some of them, but as long as they are not using it to create violence it's part of the tools we are given in the free world.

  • I have no issue whatsoever with anyone protesting anything. It's not that they are protesting, it's when they block the interstate and shut traffic down.

  • Some people need a faceless "boogeyman" that they can blame all their problems on. It's much easier than looking inward and trying to better yourself.

    Might be easier first place, not so much in the longer run though.

  • Torrieu en  tabernac!!!  Acadians and Quebecios are cool.   They gave us St. Catherine Street.   They speak some strange dialect of some indecipherable  language but whatever.

  • Yeah, but Canadians are just like Tammy.   They must be arbitrarily crapped on for no valid  reasons other than it's satisfying.
