Responsibility

This is inspired by the comment here, where [livejournal.com profile] ladysysiphus says "If you have consumed enough alcohol to impair your judgement, I believe you then have to take at least some responsibility for putting yourself in a position where something like this might happen."

In an ideal world, we could all take whatever actions we wanted without fear of repercussions from people who take advantage of them. However, this ain't an ideal world. While we cannot change the clearly wrong actions of criminals who rape, steal, and murder, we do have complete responsibility for keeping ourselves safe. Therefore I picked "partially responsible" for each case, although I'm leaning more towards "fully responsible" for the brick and the tiger.
