1260273 2012-02-21 22:03:00 So in your dream world, road deaths, drownings and suicides are all inexcusable? :)

I don't care in the least what people choose to do with their lives, unless it has a major impact on the lives of other people, and you can't have a much bigger impact then causing someones death.

There is a lot of issues that should be addressed in regards to the standard of driving in NZ, but if someone wants to blow their brains out, swim with sharks or risk their own life then good for them. They don't have the right to rob others of their lives.

Do you consider that someone gains the right to kill because they are behind the wheel....or working in a Hospital?

Facts?

I'm on a crusade, I have no use for facts.

1260276 2012-02-22 02:39:00 Its not possible to define a perfect life, and if it were no one would have ever come close to achiving it, it would folly to make an excuse for not achiving something undefinable and impossible.

I don't believe in excuses on any level, Face all issues head on, If there is a failure then accept it for what it is, motivation for improvment, then make that improvment.

Excuses are for the weak, I refuse to make them and I don't accept them.
What I am saying is, we none of us live perfect lives.

For example, I can't get on with my dad and a result things could be better work wise,I must be excused for that which is beyond my control.

Hmmm...I dont follow the logic, who in your example is asking that person to be accountable for there relationship with there father, and what would motive them to make excuses for it?

Surely rather then make excuses the query should be challengend.

Having found themselves in a bad place beyond their control, I am saying that is excusable.

What follows is not the point, they I may end up better off, the point was my position was excusable.

1260279 2012-02-22 03:21:00 Im thinking that there is a diference between being excused and making excuses.

If say, Jane Blow couldn't attend netball because she had her legs aputated, shed would be excused, she wouldn't have to make excuses, the facts are there.

For that matter, when a person can't attend a prearanged meeting they send there apologies, not their excuses.

Now, If Jane Blow didn't want to attend netball and instead gave an excuse (Her cat ate a bird and she is upset)then there is an issue, Imo being direct and honest works best, state the facts or reasonging, IE- Not coming as it just doesn't interest me.

What we have seen in this thread and in the media is a lot of pointless excuses that serve to cloud the issue so one is held accountable.


my apologies for the spelling, My failure in its entirety.

Hospitals creep me out.

There is absolutely no way that I am going to die by death
