Blame is the assignment of responsibility from one entity to another. Blaming is the action of assigning this blame to another, often from oneself. These activities seem basic to hominid behaviour, as the infamous cat did it incident with Koko the gorilla demonstrated very vividly. Blaming is nearly universally observed in children. It seems to be an essential part of human development. When language skills develop, one of the first practical things that can be done with them is to apply them to bl ...

Someone known as Killy is looking for Net Terminal Genes, to connect to the Netsphere. The 'world' he is in is known as the Megastructure or BLAME!, a vast area where walls are everywhere, there is no sky, no sea, nothing except metallic walls, concrete, stone and other such materials. There are mechanical beings known as Builders which go around reforming and creating new landscapes, and are probably responsible for the state of the Megastructure. Of course, the Megastructure isn't without danger, there are beings known as Silicon Creatures ...

Victim-blaming consists of holding victims of crimes or other misfortunes wholly or partly responsible for what has happened to them. For example: a motorist who leaves a car unlocked with the keys in the ignition may seem partly responsible if another party steals the car. Or persons who use verbal abuse may count as partly responsible if they suffer a physical assault. In the context of rape, this concept refers to popular attitudes that behaviour such as flirting or wearing sexually provocative clothing may encourage ...

"Blame Canada" is a song from the film South Park: Bigger, Longer & Uncut in which the fictional parents of South Park decide to blame Canada for the trouble their children have been getting into since watching the Canadian-made Terrance and Phillip movie, refusing to address the reality that they themselves are to blame for their children's misbehavior by not stopping their children from watching it in the first place. Thus the film satirizes political scapegoating, and, in an interesting twist, the reactions South Park creators e ...

Nihei is very detailed in his art, as is shown by his minute details into the construction of the Megastructure, the Silicon Creatures, Killy's outfit, and of course the huge explosions left by the GBE. Even these explosions are detailed. Scenes of huge destruction are followed by the quiet and relative calm of walking through the Megastructure. The manga had one constant theme throughout, the search for the NTG and then the amount of time spent walking through the Megastructure passing by more dark and fantastic scenery, there are lo ...

Anti-gay slogans are catchphrases or slogans which express opposition to homosexuality in ways which gay rights activists consider to be irrationally hostile or fearful (see homophobia and also anti-gay). Whether any particular formula is actually irrational is, of course, a matter of considerable controversy. These slogans, along with moral or scriptural prohibitions, have a long history, dating back at least as far as Classical Greece 2500 years ago. They range from the disrespectful, denigrating and pejorative to those expressing antipathy on religious or moral grounds. They commonly use pejorative terms like " ...

In October 2005, 20 years after The Call, ESPN Classic aired The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame... Don Denkinger for the Cardinals losing the 1985 World Series. Their reasons: 5. Cardinal outfielder Vince Coleman had been injured during the NLCS. Not realizing it was happening until it was too late, the National League's top base-stealer had been run over by a tarp that a built-in mechanicanism rolled out of the artificial turf at Busch Stadium. Baseball's fastest man (at the time) had been removed from active play by a tw ...

Honesty, the quality of being honest, is a value which can be defined in multiple ways. In the context of human communication, people are generally said to be honest when they tell the truth to the best of their knowledge and do not hide what they know or think. Apart from being truthful, honesty is also generally thought to involve abstaining from unfair behaviour, such as stealing or cheating on a test. Some people think that this definition is too simplistic, or that it is specific to western culture. For example, some peopl ...

Although Bill Veeck took much of the public heat for this fiasco, it was known among baseball people that his son Mike was the actual front-office "brains," as it were, behind this promotion. As a result, Mike was blackballed from the major leagues for a long time after his father retired.

In the years following the event, many people blamed the members of the South Fork Fishing and Hunting Club for the tragedy, as they had originally bought and repaired the dam to turn the area into a holiday retreat in the mountains. However, they failed to properly maintain the dam, and as a result, heavy rainfall on the eve of the disaster meant that the structure was not strong enough to hold the excess water. Despite the evidence to suggest that they were very much to blame, they were never held legally responsible for the disaster. In keeping with the times, the courts viewed the dam break as an Act of ...

The BLE struck, but they were entitled to do so. They did not represent all the motormen on the BRT, and there was no realistic claim of sabotage against them. The BRT tried to keep service running with non-striking personnel, and made the decision to use Luciano. There is no report that he had made other mistakes prior to the accident, though he had to negotiate difficult conditions, including other sharp curves and running on the street where other traffic and pedestrians would have added to operating hazards. He was switched onto t ...

The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah as takes place in the Bible is often attributed to homosexuality, but this is disputed. Since the middle ages, sodomites were blamed for "bringing down the wrath of God" upon the land, and their pleasures blamed for the periodic epidemics of disease which decimated the population. This "pollution" was thought to be cleansed by fire, as a result of which countless individuals were burned at the stake or run through with white-hot iron rods. Since the end of the 1980's similar accusations hav ...

On November 22, 2005, ESPN Classic aired, as part of a regular series, The Top 5 Reasons You Can't Blame... the Bowl Championship Series for the Lack of a Playoff in Division I-A College Football. ESPN and ABC are both owned by Disney and are both affiliated with the BCS. ESPN's reasons (paraphrased): 5. The U.S. Supreme Court's 1984 ruling that the colleges, not the NCAA, had the right to regulate their television contracts made it very difficult for the NCAA to create and enforce a playoff system. However, this has not ...

Bartman became a scapegoat for the Cubs' failure to advance to the World Series. Part of the intrigue of sports is the tendency among some fans and writers to ascribe supernatural characteristics to teams. Teams that seem to win frequently, such as the New York Yankees, the Green Bay Packers, or the University of Notre Dame, are said to have a "mystique" or "aura" about them. Teams that seem to fall short frequently, such as the Chicago Cubs or (until 2004) the Boston Red Sox, are said to be "cursed" or "jinxed". In specific cases, disappoin ...
