I'm not sure where "moral" came into this. I was talking about responsibility purely in terms of logic.
Um, huh? "Responsibility" is an inherently moral concept. Logic and morality are not mutually contradictory.
And you don't really answer if getting robbed means it's wrong to point out that the person walking around drunk was being dumb.
Let me put it this way: If someone comes up to you and talks about how they were robbed, and you respond by saying "Well, you shouldn't have been walking around alone at night," you're an asshole.
But since most of my responses have had people running to rape even though I never brought that up I'm willing to withdraw since this doesn't seem to be going anywhere productive.
People have been mentioning rape in their responses because this conversation began with talk about rape threats. You do not get to play coy and say "But I didn't mention it myself!" when the context is there for everyone to see.
That said, since you have consistently failed to respond to any actual substantive points, I agree this conversation has failed to go anywhere productive. So congratulations for successfully derailing this thread! You must be so proud of yourself.
