I'd have to agree with ya. Rather than being brought up to control ourselves and take personal responsibility for our actions, we're instead told that "it was that demon Rammstein music", or "he played too much Grand Theft Auto". But the simple fact is, it's easier to blame it on something else than to take personal responsibility. So as long as society continues to see that as acceptable (frivolous lawsuits anyone?) how can we expect that trend to change?

If Slashdot is as plagued by groupthink conformity as you say, what alternatives do you suggest?
