Here is a novel concept...how about holding the person responsible for the behavior instead of blaming everyone and everything else.

Well you can't ignore the effect of both faith and culture on how people act either. Just because something is unacceptable where you are doesn't mean it's unacceptable culturally or faith-wise where someone else lives. Since that is where people get their idea of right and wrong, it stands to reason that the culture needs to change before the people can change completely.

That is true Matt. I guilty of judging people through my rose colored glasses American glasses though. Althought there are a lot of things people do in the name of their culture and faith that people do find wrong within those groups.
