personal responsibility

 There was a post on our neighborhood website, asking that people not put out peanuts for the critters because someone's child was allergic. The responses ranged from; oh, i hadn't thought of that to i'll feed the squirrels whatever I want.   Now I am all for watching out for others but seriously why do I have to cater to every whiners wishes. If you have allergies don't pick up the peanut shells. Simple. Don't make it everyone else's problem. As with all things, you should be responsible for you. You can also be considerate of others but if everyone took care of themselves without whining or complaining and making it everyone else's problems the world would be a much nicer place.

FYI, I have failed multiple times already. 40 days is just way to long to be good.

Um duh. If you don't work and earn money and save for things you want you don't get them. And you shouldn't. What happened to the Americans who worked and expected nothing from anyone. Where did all those people go?
