So, you're saying the "addict" has no responsiblity for his own actions. The second guy "made" him use that money to buy drugs, the drug dealer "forced" him to buy the drugs, his life growing up "made" him turn to drugs and I suppose the devil "made" him take too much of the drugs and overdose too? The addict was a "victim" of circumstance, right? :rolleyes:

The fact of the matter is, no one "makes" you do something you do not want to do or choose to do. Taking the responsibility away from the individual is societies gr8est downfall.

I would call blaming others for one's lack of decision making skills as a "cop out".

"But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. "
