A compulsive eater is responsible for the food put in the mouth. A compulsive talker/tweeter is responsible for the words coming out. Right?
Compulsive anything isn't good for the compulsive behaviorist. Shopping, eating, gambling, drugs, whatever. Are compulsions treatable/reversible? Any antidote available?
I read that a majority of Americans would prefer that Trump not tweet. It gets him in a lot of trouble. He'd be better off not doing it but of course he enjoys it so much and so he will continue to do it. It's funny that what others think of him matters so much yet not enough to change his MO. Go figger! Thank you for your reply LO and Happy Tuesday! :)(
So let me see if I understand your "thinking" correctly.
In one case an inanimate machined metal forging (or stamping) assembly has no responsibility for any human actions whatsoever and in the other case the inanimate machined metal forging assembly is completely responsible for what it does. No human personal responsibility for the latter . . .
Seems legit . . .
But what if that that inanimate forging or stamping is a knife instead of a spoon and it comes out of the silverware drawer and cuts someone. Is that the responsibility of the knife or of the person wielding it? Or maybe it's the nitrocellulose that's really the bad part? What'cha think?
As Karen pointed out, you also exhibit compulsive behavior with dozens of daily posts that you say you must ask or you will 'go bonkers'. I hope that you are asking this questions because you would like to seek help and I wish you the best of luck.
