    I agree with delboy theres far to many people not taking responsibility for THEIR OWN actions, they just blame the lenders, and before you start I didnt say every body i said far too many.

    And all of what meanmachine said is bang on too.

    And you can start a sentence with and.. cos look i just did it... twice... so there!

    Cheers for some support guys and yes i do agree with you totally as well meanmachine that education has been missing. But this responsibility could also be placed with the individual. It is up to them to get out and do their own homework. You dont get anything for free in this day and age.
    Still, more regulations on those providing credit should have been put in place a long time ago. They are using credit for bottom line growth but now it looks like its about to turn around and bite them.

    Nelly, my English teacher said i couldnt start sentences with 'and' but its nice to break the rules sometimes :p

    SO if i shot someone, it is the gunmakers fault or if i run someone over in a car, it is the manufacturers fault??

    OK so companies arent blameless but i think people also have to admit up to their own problems. If they said NO im pretty sure they wouldnt be in the same circumstances.

    It's the gun makers fault if they designed and sold the gun knowing it was more likely to be used by a criminal, than a law abiding citizen.

    It's the car makers fault if they knowingly excluded a safety feature that would minimise injuries to pedestrians. Consider the fitment of Bullbars to 4x4's, they regularly kill children and have no place on cars in an urban environment. I think the makers should be held liable as they are sold as styling accessories.

    We keep adding more and more regulations and rules and safety measures to pamper to the stupid and reckless.


    How about ban kitchen knives cos people stab people with them?
