- Oh for godsakes; how long are we going to blame mommy? When do we
- get to grow up and take responsibility for our selves? I don't teach
- my son to be any more violent than my daughter. You can argue from
- a biological standpoint, from a social one- what ever pulls your
- chain, but please! let us not forget that everyone one of us has some
- measure of self-determination. It is people- not society; not their
- mommies, who murder and rape and steal. Yes, it just so happens that
- a majority of these murderers and rapists and thieves are men. Aren't
- they 'big' enough to accept responsibility for their own actions? I'm
- sorry if I'm just not co-dependent enough to make (or accept) lame
- excuses like "mommy made me do it".

- Maybe you would prefer "if you're part of the problem, blame mommy"?
